Hi, everyone!
Last week some technical updates have been introduced to the testnet. We issue a new set of instructions on the testnet participation. The Gravity Team takes a serious view on information support of the project. If you have any questions which are not presented in the instructions, please leave them in the comments.
Instructions in the Set
- Update Gravity Protocol node
- Resync Gravity Protocol node
- Edit the blockchain configuration
- Find our account’s private keys
- Vote for Gravity Protocol witnesses
- Comittee Memember Registration Tutorial
- Vote for Gravity Protocol Committee Members
- Gravity protocol’s proxy
- Change a node in the Gravity Protocol wallet
- Backup copy of a bin-file
- Brainkey backup copy of your Gravity wallet
Update Gravity Protocol node
See the video version here (https://youtu.be/BaKoaAdxAAA).
- First, we’ll go to the node’s directory
cd gravity-testnet-dockersudo docker-compose down- Then we’ll receive the update from github
git pull origin
- And new versions of packages from Dockerhub
sudo docker-compose pull- Now we’ll run the node in daemon mode
sudo docker-compose up -d- If you prefer, you can display current sync status on the screen
sudo docker-compose logs — tail 10 -f- To hide the logs, press Ctrl+Z.
Resync Gravity Protocol node
See the video version here (https://youtu.be/KTYfwmQFJRE).
- First we’ll go to the node’s directory
cd gravity-testnet-docker sudo docker-compose down sudo docker-compose up -d- If you prefer, you can display current sync status on the screen
sudo docker-compose logs — tail 10 -f- To hide the logs, press Ctrl+Z.
Edit the blockchain configuration
See the video version here (https://youtu.be/TIMKLSJ12Ow).
- First we’ll go to the node’s directory and open cli-wallet when the node is launched.
- Then we’ll unlock the wallet. And now we’ll get to work.
- We’ll get current configuration values. We’ll make a proposal to change the maximum asset feed publishers.
- Now we’ll get the number of proposal id.
- And we’ll vote.
- Now we’ll close the cli-wallet using Ctrl+C
- As you can see, we’ve created a configuration change proposal and voted for it.
Find our account’s private keys
See the video version here (https://youtu.be/HX7_gpkaZEY).
- First, we’ll open the “Keys” tab.
- Then we’ll enter the password to bin-file.
- After that, we’ll press “Show keys”.
- There are two owner keys and two active keys. Each pair has one public key. Your public key starts with ZGV, and your private key starts with “5”.
*Just left-click on one of them to copy.
Vote for Gravity Protocol witnesses
See the video version here (https://youtu.be/HV96DtzwWj8).
- First, go to the “Voting” tab on the left.
- Here we see a list of accounts who want to become witnesses. As you can see, some of them are active now, some are not.
- There are some links in the “About” column. They mostly lead to articles, where people describe why they want to become a witness.
- We can select up to 30 accounts we want to support. Our voting power is not affected by the amount of accounts we choose to support.
- After the selections have been made, we’ll click “Vote”.
- After that, we’ll enter the password to the bin-file.
- And we’ll press “Vote” again.
- So we’ve successfully supported our selected witnesses.
Vote for Gravity Protocol Committee Members
See the video version here (https://youtu.be/IDIjn_a7MZE).
- Go to the “Voting” tab on the left.
- Then select the “Committee” tab above.
- Here we see a list of accounts who want to become committee members. Some of them are active now, some are not.
- There are some links in the “About” column. They mostly lead to articles, where people describe why they want to become a committee member.
- We can select up to 30 accounts we want to support. Our voting power is not affected by the amount of accounts we choose to support.
- After the selections have been made, we’ll click “Vote”.
- Now enter the password to the bin-file.
- We’ll click “Vote” again.
- So we’ve successfully supported our selected committee members.
Gravity protocol’s proxy
See the video version here (https://youtu.be/u-okNqm6c-w).
- First, we’ll open the “Voting” tab.
- Here we see tabs containing witnesses and committee members.
- If for example, we don’t have much time to figure out which of them are worth our support, and which are not…
the proxys are here to help us. - Proxy is an account to which we can delegate our voting power. However, it doesn’t have access to our wallet or our tokens.
- All we have to do now is select an account to which we’ll delegate the vote.
- After that, we’ll insert the chosen account’s ID to a “Set proxy” line and press “Delegate”.
- Here is where we’ll fill in our bin-file password and press “Yes, I agree”.
- Please note: after setting the proxy you won’t be able to vote personally.
- If instead you decide that you want to vote in person, you can always press “Cancel proxy”. And then press “Yes, I agree”.
Change a node in the Gravity Protocol wallet
See the video version here (https://youtu.be/2HHhLsOjwKU).
- By default, the set node will be the one with the lowest ping. But if for whatever reason it doesn’t suit you, you can always change it.
- You can access the selection of nodes in two ways.
- The first way is to press the block number and then “Advanced settings”.
- The second way is to press “Settings” and go to the nodes tab. Here we need to turn off automatic node selection.
- After that, we’ll press the “Switch node” button in front of the node we’ve chosen.
- In the future it will be possible to add random nodes here as well.
Backup copy of a bin-file
See the video version here (https://youtu.be/Oi9bblgzpk0).
- To make it, we’ll first go to “Settings”.
- Then we’ll select the “Backup” tab and press “Create backup now”.
- Here we’ll enter the bin-file password and press “Download”.
- As you can see, a backup file has been saved to the download folder.
- Now we’ll need to move it to a more secure place. That’s it!
Brainkey backup copy of your Gravity wallet
See the video version here (https://youtu.be/yZiqWC6U5UU).
- You may need this backup if for some reason you only have a bin-file.
- First, we’ll go to “Settings”.
- Then we’ll select the “Backup” tab.
- Here we’ll enter the bin-file password below the “Brainkey” sign.
- And then we’ll press “Show”.
- After that we’ll copy the Brainkey to a safe file.
