chia db validate throws error if validating a testnet11 database

[buggybuck]

Hi there!

In a testnet11 setup chia db validate throws an error (FAILED: Blockchain has invalid genesis challenge [..]).

The validation succeeds when you change

# mainnet genesis challenge
AGG_SIG_DATA = bytes32.fromhex("ccd5bb71183532bff220ba46c268991a3ff07eb358e8255a65c30a2dce0e5fbb") 

to

# testnet11 genesis challenge
AGG_SIG_DATA = bytes32.fromhex("37a90eb5185a9c4439a91ddc98bbadce7b4feba060d50116a067de66bf236615") 

in chia/consensus/default_constants.py.

I checked this on 2.4.3.dev0 and 2.5.1rc2d.dev3.

Kind regards

Hey @buggybuck , thank you for the report.
We do have this on our radar to fix but that might take some time.

Your workaround with editing the constant itself works for the interim, there is also a newer validate function being developed with the rust codebase but it is currently a bit trickier to access and use:

Hey @buggybuck Quex has a pr (#19182) that should resolve this issue. If you want to test you can either build from source based on that PR or let us know your OS and we can provide a packaged installer for this specific PR 👍
