sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
rm "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
go version

    Install binary

    cd $HOME
mkdir -p /root/go/bin/
wget https://ss-t.self.nodestake.top/selfchaind
chmod +x selfchaind
mv selfchaind /root/go/bin/

    Initialize Node

    Please change <MONIKER> To your own Moniker.

    selfchaind init $MONIKER --chain-id self-dev-1
selfchaind config chain-id self-dev-1
selfchaind config keyring-backend test

    Download Genesis file and addrbook

    • Genesis
    wget -O $HOME/.selfchain/config/genesis.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hotcrosscom/selfchain-genesis/main/networks/devnet/genesis.json

    Configure Seeds and Peers

    SEEDS=""
sed -i -e "s|^seeds *=.*|seeds = \"$SEEDS\"|" $HOME/.selfchain/config/config.toml
peers="94a7baabb2bcc00c7b47cbaa58adf4f433df9599@157.230.119.165:26656,d3b5b6ca39c8c62152abbeac4669816166d96831@165.22.24.236:26656,35f478c534e2d58dc2c4acdf3eb22eeb6f23357f@165.232.125.66:26656"

sed -i -e "s|^minimum-gas-prices *=.*|minimum-gas-prices = \"0.005uself\"|" $HOME/.selfchain/config/app.toml

    config pruning

    pruning="custom"
pruning_keep_recent="100"
pruning_keep_every="0"
pruning_interval="10"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.selfchain/config/app.toml

    create service file and start node

    Create service file Create a selfchaind.service file in the /etc/systemd/system folder with the following code. You can change USER with your Linux user name. You need sudo previlege to do this step.

    sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/selfchaind.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=selfchain
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which selfchaind) start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
    • Enable Service and Start Node
    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable selfchaind
sudo systemctl restart selfchaind
sudo journalctl -u selfchaind -f -o cat
