Guide to become witness
Go to https://github.com/SophiaTX/SophiaTX/releases and download latest version.
Start node for the first time with following command:
./sophiatxd
Now go to kill the daemon and go to witness_node_data_dir/ and edit config.ini
cd witness_node_data_dir/
And modify this properties:
plugin = condenser_api
plugin = network_broadcast_api
webserver-ws-endpoint = 0.0.0.0:9191
Now start cli_wallet, create new wallet file and key for witness
./cli_wallet
new >>> set_password YOUR_PASSWORD
locked >>> unlock YOUR_PASSWORD
unlocked >>> import_key YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY
unlocked >>> suggest_brain_key
Output should look like something like this
{
"brain_priv_key": "BLENT EPOCHA GREED OCQUE BHALU TAPE SMUT AVERAH BALAO SHARPEN BUSTARD ATHIRST PACTION WIDBIN NYMPHA BANK",
"wif_priv_key": "5J7ejuMu2ZkNWQ367X38wVvBWFzgbsjPvw6PLNtwsYEQrbhigT6",
"pub_key": "SPH6m3vR9ZfRiGCSmpdY8G6kaAjXxGYBxu6pRE99cFL95SEcxEWeh"
}
Now kill the daemon and modify config.ini Now you can reedit config.ini with following properties (you can remove rest of the plugins if you want to be just the witness)
plugin = witness
witness = "YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME"
private-key = 5J7ejuMu2ZkNWQ367X38wVvBWFzgbsjPvw6PLNtwsYEQrbhigT6 (just example)
enable-stale-production = false
required-participation = 35
And rerun the daemon with command
./sophiatxd
Now you need to vest tokens to you account and update yourself as witness
unlocked >>> transfer_to_vesting YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME "250000 SPHTX" true
unlocked >>> update_witness YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME "YOUR_URL" SPH6m3vR9ZfRiGCSmpdY8G6kaAjXxGYBxu6pRE99cFL95SEcxEWeh {"account_creation_fee":"0.05 SPHTX","maximum_block_size":50331648,"price_feeds":[]} true
Go to cli_wallet and execute command: get_witness YOUR_WITNESS_NAME and if you check the output, you should be able to you last confirmed block
Install the price feeder script: npm install -g sophiatx-price-feeder.
Once done, test it with:
feeder <YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME> <YOUR_MINING_KEY>, e.g. feeder <YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME> 5J7ejuMu2ZkNWQ367X38wVvBWFzgbsjPvw6PLNtwsYEQrbhigT6. Use your actual mining key, as entered into config.ini.
Once the script functionality is checked, run it regularly, at lease once per day. You can use e.g. crond service on Linux:
crontab
0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/feeder <YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME> <YOUR_MINING_KEY>
<ctrl-D>
