Desmos Incentives Testnets, October 2020 Upgrade

Hi belong is the way how you can connect to Desmos Network quickly

Before that if you still don’t have a server you can buy from Contabo, this one meet the specification needed, and also with the best price for a VM spec. in that class

First Act

Update & Upgrade the ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install tmux

Download the Script
$ wget -O install-desmos-fullnode https://raw.githubusercontent.com/desmos-labs/desmos/master/contrib/validators/automatic-fullnode-installer.sh
$ chmod +x ./install-desmos-fullnode

Execute the script

Change the moniker
$ sudo nano ~/.desmosd/config/config.toml
This is just a string that will allow you to identify the validator you are running locally. It can be anything you want.
# Example
moniker = "Sage_Knight"

Checking the Persistent Peers
Still on the same file, after fill the moniker, go down with ‘down_arrow’,
and Locate the persistent_peers = "" text at line 164. Update its value to a node address of a peer. The format of a node address must be <node_id>@<node_ip_address>:<port>
# Example
persistent_peers = "7fed5624ca577eb0333d3631b5e4f16ba1736979@54.180.98.75:26656"
Input the value like in the example

Save the file Ctrl+o + Enter and exit the text editor with Ctrl+x

Running the script
Once you are ready to run the script, just execute:
./install-desmos-fullnode <PARAMETERS>
# Example
./install-desmos-fullnode Sage_Knight

Check and Monitor the Desmos node status

Check status of the node
Make sure the network is "morpheus-10000"
$ desmoscli status
...
"network": "morpheus-10000"

Check the Service is run and active
$ systemctl status desmosd
If not run
$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ systemctl start desmosd

Check the version listed is update
$ desmosd version --long
If it still not show min. to version: 0.12.1
$ rm $GOBIN/desmoscli
$ rm $GOBIN/desmosd
$ alias desmosd =~/.desmosd/cosmovisor/current/bin/desmosd
$ alias desmoscli =~/.desmosd/cosmovisor/current/bin/desmoscli

Monitor the running node
$ tmux new-session -s desmos
$ tail -100f /var/log/syslog
For go outside the tmux press
Ctrl+b & d
For go see the block execute again in tmux
$ tmux attach

Create Validator

Creating your address
$desmoscli keys add <key_name>
# Example
$desmoscli keys add Sage_Knight

If you have create the address before, but forgot try
$desmoscli keys show <your-key-name> --address
# Example
$desmoscli keys show Sage_Knight --address

This will return the associated address such as
$desmos1gmu4uevcvwfcuu43yp27gcv4ngxuh9sxfpv3er

Request Faucet
Go to https://faucet.desmos.network/ and paste your just created address

Paste your address here and click Start for request some udaric

Check balance
$desmoscli query account <your_address>
# Example
$desmoscli query account desmos1gmu4uevcvwfcuu43yp27gcv4ngxuh9sxfpv3er

Get current Validator public key
$desmosd tendermint show-validator

Create your Validator
$desmoscli tx staking create-validator \
--amount="1000000udaric" \
--pubkey="$(desmosd tendermint show-validator)" \
--moniker="<Your moniker here>" \
--chain-id="<chain_id>" \
--commission-rate="0.10" \
--commission-max-rate="0.20" \
--commission-max-change-rate="0.01" \
--min-self-delegation="1" \
--gas="auto" \
--gas-adjustment="1.2" \
--gas-prices="0.025udaric" \
--from="<key_name>"

# Example
$desmoscli tx staking create-validator \
--amount="1000000udaric" \
--pubkey="desmosvalconspub1zcj..." \
--moniker="Sage_Knight" \
--chain-id="morpheus-10000" \
--commission-rate="0.10" \
--commission-max-rate="0.20" \
--commission-max-change-rate="0.05" \
--min-self-delegation="1" \
--gas="auto" \
--gas-adjustment="1.2" \
--gas-prices="0.025udaric" \
--from="Sage_Knight"

Edit the Validator description
$desmoscli tx staking edit-validator \
--moniker="choose a moniker" \
--website="https://desmos.network" \
--identity="6A0D65E29A4CBC8E" \
--details="To infinity and beyond!" \
--commission-rate="0.20" \
--chain-id="<chain_id>" \
--from="<key_name>"

View the Validator’s information
$ desmoscli query staking validator <account_desmos>

# Example
$desmoscli query staking validator desmosvaloper1…
*You’ll get this “desmosvaloper1…” info when about to create your validator

Confirm your validator is running
Your validator is active if the following command returns anything
$ desmoscli query tendermint-validator-set | grep "$(desmosd tendermint show-validator)"

That’s it
You should now see your validator in the Desmos explorers here
https://morpheus.desmos.network/validators
