Deployment to the Hyperledger Besu

• Installing Besu is a bit intimidating, especially for Linux OS.

• Setting up the IBFT 2.0 POA consensus mechanism is a bit challenging as we need to keep on navigating from one directory to another for proper running of the node.

• Deployment to the Besu blockchain. We need to read the whole documentation.

Getting Over the Besu Hurdle

• Documentation was our way to go.

• After that, we need to google the issues we ran into while setting up the validators.

• Also had to google the truffle configuration for the Besu network.

Polling Error in JavaScript

• While deploying to the testnet, we ran into this error.

Getting Over the Polling Error

• We had to google a lot, and Stackoverflow and Stack Exchange helped us a lot to mitigate the issue.

Merge conflict in Github

• Members were all working in parallel, and they were pushing the changes to Github. So due to that, we ran into a merge error.

Getting over the merge conflict

• We read a medium blog post on mitigating the error and it quickly solved the error. That was a helpful post.

ABI integration in the frontend

• Getting the ABI and the address of the smart contract was a bit intimidating for us.

Getting over the ABI integration

• We had to Google a lot, read a Medium post, and watch a couple of YouTube videos to finally fix the error.

Working in a time-constrained environment

• When time is allocated to a thing, humans will already feel the pressure. So we're worried that we might not complete the project on time, especially when we encounter errors.

Mitigating time constraints

• Friend encouragement was a huge help. We encourage one another, motivate one another, and plan everything to work in our favor.

Body pain while developing 

• Had to sit on a chair for longer periods to build the project, causing body sores.

Mitigating body pain

• Had to do an exercise to keep my body and mind active.
