Alpha 0.5.0

First release under the new name: Kinode

To run the binary, you must indicate where the home folder for the node will be and use an --rpc-url flag. You may also optionally specify your HTTP port. Here's an example:

./kinode home/mynodename --rpc wss://opt-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/<RPC_API_KEY> --port 8080

Note that the RPC provider is set to Optimism Mainnet. This is where the identity contract is deployed. You may also boot a testnet node on ETH Sepolia:

./kinode home/mynodename --rpc wss://eth-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/<RPC_API_KEY> --port 8081 --testnet

Testnet nodes must use the --testnet flag on boot.
