Signet is a public test network whose blocks are signed by its operators instead of being mined competitively, so it produces blocks steadily, about 321,000 to date.
Save the settings below as signet.cfg and start the node with it:
$ bs -c signet.cfg
The store is created in a signet directory under the working directory,
apart from any mainnet store.
