- I submitted the wrong BSC address. Can I fix it? Hi, simply resubmit with the right BSC address and you should be fine. Can someone help me ? “rust nightly not installed, please install it” Please install all the prerequisites. Please try the following sudo apt update # may prompt for location information sudo apt install -y cmake pkg-config libssl-dev git build-essential clang libclang-dev curl Hi guys, why can't I connect to [https://console.porta.network/#/accounts](https://console.porta.network/#/accounts) via Polkadot? infinity loading Try clearing your cache and refreshing. I see in the Porta Docs need a domain, can I use a subdomain? Yes, you can. Is the reward given once a week after completing the form? Yes, but you must also run a Porta node as a validator. Can I deploy a node and become a validator on Testnet? Yes, we already have that setup. You can add your own validator by going through our get started guild here [https://docs.porta.network/developer-guide/getting-started](https://docs.porta.network/developer-guide/getting-started) What are the hardware requirements to run a node? (This is my proposed question: Shane) The minimum requirement is 2 GB of RAM and 80GB+ of storage in order to run a node. Is there any documentation for connecting a WebSocket with Polkadot? (I don't think we need to add this to FAQs) We don't have any Polkadot connection (изменено)
- [10:17]How will our nodes connect to the explorer? Once the node is added to the network it will automatically connect to [https://console.porta.network/#/explorer](https://console.porta.network/#/explorer). In the node setup manual, what does "disconnect from Porta's node" mean? It means that you must leave that page and go to the polkadot.js.org website for the rest of the documentation. Is this Testnet going on now incentivized? Yes, it is. How can we connect our node to a WebSocket? Tutorial 7 can be used to run a node on your local PC, it's intention is to familiarise developers with the process. To learn how to run a Porta node on a cloud VPS, please refer to Tutorial 8. The link can be found here: https://docs.porta.network/developer-guide/getting-started/8.-setup-remote-validator-node-on-digital-ocean-vps Digital Ocean have an offer: $100 credit for 60 days. So, this is a perfect opportunity to do the tutorial (изменено)8. Setup validator node on Digital Ocean VPSA step-by-step guide explaining how to configure a validator node by setting a VPS on Digital Ocean
- Yvonne Kagondu — 11.09.2021Tutorials You will find 8 tutorials here to Get Started: [https://docs.porta.network/developer-guide/getting-started](https://docs.porta.network/developer-guide/getting-started) There are now over 50 tutorials on the site showing what is possible with the Porta blockchain. If you have any questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to ask Hello. I have a problem registering a domain. When I try to connect my domain, I get an error. What to do? The error on restart usually indicates a problem with the default file. It would be best to look closely for differences between the code provided in the tutorial and the code in your default file. If the haven't already, mentions of portadev.co.uk should be changed to your domain on the following lines server name ... ssl_certificate ssl_certificate_key
- [10:34]How long will the Testnet be running? We are considering running the testnet continuously as a canary network (similar to what Kusama is to Polkadot). What does this journal mean? Block number is the same as the block number displayed on the Porta Console, but it is not synced yet? Once the block number in your console matches the block number displayed on the blockchain, your node is synchronised. How can I create a KIAN wallet? KIAN is on the BSC blockchain so you would need to create an ERC20/BEP20 compatible wallet. MetaMask would be your best choice for this you can get download details from their website here - [https://metamask.io/](https://metamask.io/) Once installed create a wallet. Then you need to connect to the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) follow this setup walkthrough here [https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/connecting-metamask-to-binance-smart-chain](https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/connecting-metamask-to-binance-smart-chain) Then you can buy your tokens from one of the exchanges where we are listed and transfer the tokens to your wallet. You can find the list on our website near the bottom of the main page [https://porta.network/](https://porta.network/) Who sends the Porta test coins? Just post your address in 🔷padlock-chat. Is it normal that validators' scores are going up and back down all the time? Yes, the scores a reset every Era. Hi, I was on the validators list, but now I am on the waiting list, why did this happen? It was likely the result of a connectivity issue, but these have now been solved. But the blockchain is also rotating nodes in and out in order to optimise the performance of the network, it is possible that your node was not performing correctly and was swapped for another node.
- [10:34]What's the command for start the node? Command to start node is this ./target/release/porta --chain chain-spec-padlock.json -d data/[Validator name] --name [Validator name] --ws-external --rpc-external --rpc-cors all --rpc-methods=unsafe If you have an active/waiting validator then you are best to chill the node. You do this on Developer > Extrinsics > Pallet: Staking | Function: Chill Balance low error. The error relates to balance being too low. Either you have less than 5 coins in that account or the incurred fee will take the account below the existential amount of 100. Fees use 'free balance', so if you have all your tokens bonded for staking then you won't have the free balance necessary to do a transaction. How to check if a node is set up correctly? You can see if your node is in one of the lists either validating or waiting by using the console [https://console.porta.network/#](https://console.porta.network/#) for validator go to Network > Staking > Overview and enter your stash address in the filter box. For waiting list Network > Staking > Waiting and enter your stash address in the filter box.
- Yvonne Kagondu — 08.10.2021How do i migrate my node from one server to another? You chill the node in Develop > Extrinsics > Pallet: Staking > Function: Chill() You can then setup your node on another server, rotateKeys(), set session keys and validate How to set up a node There are three approaches to setting up a validator node. 1. Tutorial for running a node on a local machine or a server with GUI: https://docs.porta.network/developer-guide/getting-started/7.-setup-a-validator-node 2. Tutorial for running a node on a cloud server: https://docs.porta.network/developer-guide/getting-started/8.-setup-remote-validator-node-on-digital-ocean-vps 3. Tutorial for running a node on a cloud server: https://nodes.guru/porta/setup-guide/en Validator has stopped This is a list of checks and recommendations that can be performed to investigate the issue: - Check your node is running on server - Check your stash account has bonded funds to a controller account - Check your controller account has 200+ tokens - Check your reward account has 100+ tokens - RotateKeys(), add session keys and validate - If the above does not solve the problem, try deleting the data folder and sync the node to the network again. - If the above does not solve the problem, try creating a new stash, controller and reward account and linking that you your node. - If still not working, scrap the node and rebuild it.
Can't find my node on https://console.porta.network/ Please check for it in the waiting list
