Create a service

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/sided.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=sided
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which sided) start
Restart=on-failure

Start the service and check the logs

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable sided
sudo systemctl restart sided && sudo journalctl -fu sided -o cat

Becoming a Validator

Create wallet key new

sided keys add <walletname> --key-type="segwit"

(OPTIONAL) RECOVER EXISTING KEY

sided keys add <walletname> --key-type="segwit" --recover

We receive tokens from the tap in the faucet

Create the Validator

Before creating a validator, enter the command and check that you have false. This means that the Node has synchronized and you can create a validator:

sided status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo

Check the balance before creating for the presence of tokens

sided q bank balances $(sided keys show wallet -a)

Please enter your details below in quotation marks where required

sided tx staking create-validator \
--commission-rate 0.1 \
--commission-max-rate 0.1 \
--commission-max-change-rate 0.1 \
--min-self-delegation "1" \
--amount 1000000uside \
--pubkey $(sided tendermint show-validator) \
--from <adresswallet> \
--moniker="YOUR NICK" \

Update

There have been no updates at the moment, as soon as they come out, we will immediately add them to this section.

Current network:S2-testnet-2
Current version:v0.8.1

Useful commands

Check balance

sided q bank balances $(sided keys show wallet -a)

CHECK SERVICE LOGS

sudo journalctl -fu sided -o cat

RESTART SERVICE

sudo systemctl restart sided

GET VALIDATOR INFO

sided status 2>&1 | jq .ValidatorInfo

DELEGATE TOKENS TO YOURSELF

sided tx staking delegate Your_valpoer........ "100000000"uside --from Wallet_Name --gas 350000 --chain-id=S2-testnet-1 -y

REMOVE NODE Please, before proceeding with the next step! All chain data will be lost! Make sure you have backed up your priv_validator_key.json!

sudo systemctl stop sided
