- Genesis data from forkano network
- Scripts to deploy and run a node and (optional) a stake pool
- docker installed
- Storage: 3 GB free for image and data
- RAM: 2 GB at least for proper running
- Internet connection
- Optional: 1 (ONE) port forwarding for incoming connections
Clone this repository and be noticed!: this is experimental, only for educational purposes
git clone https://github.com/forkanonetwork/genesis.git
cd genesis
./00-init.shThis could take some time, docker image (~2.5 GB) needs to be downloaded the first time!
If things go well (means you're lucky) you'll see this kind of output:

That's your node syncing with Forkano mainnet!
Now you must wait for this to finish in order to register a new stake pool. Refer to gLiveView Section in order to monitor your node and know when it finishes syncing.
In the meantime you can donate some BTC, USDT or ADA to this project! Check Contributing section for donation addresses!
After you've donated some (or not, as you wish, remember the educational purposes) you can check the status of your node by opening a second terminal and then run
cd genesis
./02-gLiveView-forkano_node.shHopefully, you will see the following panel:
Once the "Syncing" reaches "100%" you'll be able to perform the next optional operations
-
- MANDATORY: you must forward a port directly to the machine running the docker container in order to receive incoming connections from other Forkano Nodes. If you don't allow access from the other nodes, you'll be able to operate normally but you won't receive rewards for producing blocks!
- Your node could receive delegators!
- Your node will earn rewards in CAP (the Forkano main native asset) for producing blocks!
- You will have to provide your node's forkano wallet address in order to receive initial funds from us, by filling THIS FORM (MANDATORY!)
- You must keep an eye on your node ir order to assure propperly funtioning
- You will need to rotate the KES keys (script is provided, don't worry)
But, how can I see my forkano wallet address?
You can quit gLiveView pressing 'q' key or open a new terminal
Then enter the Forkano container running the node
./03-join-forkano_node.sh
- You will be inside the container running the node, then
cd ~
./forkano_init/scripts/01-pools/01-check-balance.shThis script will show your pool address, and will check the current balance Once you have funds in that address you can continue with next step
# (yes... you MUST edit POOL_ vars before running, lines ~52-58)
# You'll access MC Editor, find those lines and edit according to your needs
# Press F2 to save and F10 to exit when done
mcedit ./forkano_init/scripts/01-pools/02-register-new-pool.sh
# Now run
./forkano_init/scripts/01-pools/02-register-new-pool.sh If this script finishes with no error now you are able to run the pool by daemonizing the docker container
Kill/exit/end every docker container and run from inside the genesis dir
./01-run-forkano_node_daemon.sh./03-join-forkano_node.sh./02-tail-forkano_node.sh (this will tail logs from inside the daemonized container)
./02-tail-local.sh (this will tail logs from your local data directory)Once your pool is registered, you can check the status by running ./forkano_init/scripts/01-pools/03-query-pool-details.sh script inside the container image
And again, you can check KES status, Block producing status, and everything else with gLiveView!

It's up to you where/how do you keep your keys safe!
Your private keys could be stored in a cold environment and then deleted from your node
