Set Up Validators
Learn to set up Vince Chain validators
The following guide will help you in setting up a Vince Chain validator on any hardware that meets the Node requirement. The commands below apply to any Linux OS.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install git snap snapd gcc g++ make
sudo snap install go --channel=1.18/stable --classic
sudo adduser vincechain
sudo usermod -aG sudo vincechain
Duplicate and compile
vinced
, then run the following commands:git clone https://github.com/vincechainlabs/vincechain
cd vincechain
make install
sudo cp ~/go/bin/vinced /usr/local/bin/vinced
To setup vinced Genesis and Peers, try running the following commands:
cd ~
vinced config chain-id vincechain_1000-3
vinced config keyring-backend file
vinced init <validator_name> --chain-id vincechain_1000-3
cd ~/.vinced/config
sudo mv genesis.json gen.old
sudo wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/vincechainlabs/ee862f58850fc1b5ee6a6fdccc3130d2/raw/55c2c4ea2fee8a9391d0dc55b2c272adb804054a/genesis.json
cd ~
First, edit this file:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/vinced.service
Then enter the following commands into the edited file above and save it:
[Unit]
Description=Vince Chain Node
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=vincechain
WorkingDirectory=/home/vincechain/.vinced
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/echelond start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=4096
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then use the following commands to start, stop, restart, and view logs.
sudo systemctl start vinced
sudo systemctl status vinced
sudo systemctl enable vinced
Write down this command:
vinced keys add --keyring-backend=file
It's for your wallet address and mnemonic phrase.
Enter the following command:
vinced query bank balances --keyring-backend=file
Upon receiving the fund, you may replace your validator name with the receiver's VCE address.
The command line below used
1000000 VCE
(equivalent to 1000000000000000000000000 avince
or 10-18 vince
) as example:vinced tx staking create-validator --amount=1000000000000000000000000avince --pubkey=$(vinced tendermint show-validator) --moniker="<validatorname>" --from=<vincechain1address> --min-self-delegation="1" --commission-max-change-rate="0.01" --commission-max-rate="0.20" --commission-rate="0.05" --chain-id=vincechain_1000-3 --keyring-backend=file
If the keyring fails, you can recover it with:
vinced keys add --recover
You may watch
vinced
logs with the following command: sudo journalctl -u vinced -f
