Setup test vrf.key⌗

Execute the below command on with cardano-cli

cardano-cli node key-gen-VRF \
--verification-key-file vrf.vkey \
--signing-key-file vrf.skey

cat vrf.skey

Output of vrf.skey:

{
    "type": "VrfSigningKey_PraosVRF",
    "description": "VRF Signing Key",
    "cborHex": "584052206c64f589b12dedefe07a454b24248ec9dc993bcafbe91705a5a5ae5acff8496e38d9aa9739392eb548796bc84688315b843f3841805d7775b5c95c5ba212"

Getting a set of test result from the ScheduledBlocks⌗

repo: https://github.com/asnakep/ScheduledBlocks

file: ScheduledBlocks.py

Put the vrf.skey into the ScheduledBlocks folder⌗ 

cp test/vrf.skey <path_to_ScheduledBlock>/

Input the configuration for ScheduledBlocks.py⌗

I pick random PoolTicker and corespont PoolID for this. Can be obtain from any pool information from adapool.org or cardanoscan

### Set These Variables ###
