➡️ Let’s get started

sudo systemctl restart pellcored
journalctl -fu pellcored -o cat

➡️ Log Command

sudo journalctl -fu pellcored -o cat

➡️ Create wallet

Warning

Don’t forget to backup the wallet words!

pellcored keys add wallet-name --keyring-backend=test

➡️ Import wallet

pellcored keys add wallet-name --recover --keyring-backend=test

➡️ Create Validator

Reminder

You can’t create a validator without Sync. You must have to catch the latest block.

rm -rf /root/validator.json

➡️ Complete deletion

cd $HOME
sudo systemctl stop pellcored
sudo systemctl disable pellcored
sudo rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/pellcored.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/pellcored
sudo rm -f $(which pellcored)
sudo rm -rf $HOME/.pellcored
sed -i "/PELL_PORT_/d" $HOME/.bash_profile

➡️ Block check

local_height=$(curl -s localhost:${PELL_PORT}657/status | jq -r .result.sync_info.latest_block_height); network_height=$(curl -s https://pell-testnet-rpc.mictonode.com/status | jq -r .result.sync_info.latest_block_height); blocks_left=$((network_height - local_height)); echo "Your node height: $local_height"; echo "Network height: $network_height"; echo "Blocks left: $blocks_left"

Your node height - the current block of your node
Network height - the last block of the network
Blocks left - how many blocks your node has left to sync.
