# Pre-generate vote IDs
For large events with many votes, generating the vote IDs takes a long time. `generate_hashes.sh` helps to generate a large amount of hashes in advance, chunked in many smaller requests.
The script uses the following parameters: `./generate_hashes.sh FILE_USERNAMES EVENT_ID VOTING_ROUNDS`.
`FILE_USERNAMES` is the relative path to a text file containing the names of voters, one name per line.
`EVENT_ID` should be the already existing token of an event.
`VOTING_ROUNDS` is the maximum number of expected voting rounds. To be sure, generate IDs for more rounds than expected.
The script expects the client key and certificate to be located in the same directory and to be named `client.key` and `client.crt`. Edit the script, if you need to change this. Also, the host URL is set in a variable within the script.
