Straightedge GenTxs

This document includes instructions for validators who intend to participate in the launch of the Straightedge testnet. Please note:

  1. You must have a genesis allocation in the Straightedge mainnet, meaning you must have participated in the Edgeware Lockdrop according to the modified Straightedge rules.
  2. This process is intended for technically inclined people who have participated in other cosmos-sdk based blockchain launches. Experience running production IT systems is strongly recommended.
  3. STR staked during genesis will be at risk of 5% slashing if your validator double signs. If you accidentally misconfigure your validator setup, this can easily happen, and slashed STR are not expected to be recoverable by any means. Additionally, if you double-sign, your validator will be tombstoned and you will be required to change operator and signing keys.
  4. You will be creating public key accounts that are restored via their mnemonic. It is vital that you securely backup and store your mnemonic for any accounts that are created during this process. Failure to do so can result in the irrecoverable loss of all STR tokens.

Prepare Software

  1. Install strd branch master
Requires Go 1.13+ and gcc
git clone https://github.com/heystraightedge/straightedge
cd straightedge
make install
strd init <your-validator-moniker>
  1. Replace generated genesis file with pregenesis.json
cd ~/.strd/config
rm genesis.json
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/heystraightedge/testnet/master/pregenesis.json -o genesis.json
  1. Recover your lockdrop account key into the Straightedge CLI Wallet
strcli keys add <your-key-name> --algo sr25519 --recover
<insert-mnemonic-here>
  1. Check your balance in the genesis allocation
grep -A 6 <your-address> genesis.json
  1. Get your consensus pubkey
strd tendermint show-validator
  1. Sign a genesis transaction
strd gentx \
  --amount <amount>astr \
  --min-self-delegation <min_self_delegation> \
  --commission-rate <commission_rate> \
  --commission-max-rate <commission_max_rate> \
  --commission-max-change-rate <commission_max_change_rate> \
  --pubkey <consensus_pubkey> \
  --name <key_name>

NOTE: If you would like to override the memo field use the --ip and --node-id flags for the strd gentx command above.

This will produce a file in the ~/.strd/config/gentx/ folder that has a name with the format gentx-<node_id>.json.

  1. Rename the gentx file to gentx-<validator-moniker>.json
  2. Fork and clone this repo and copy you gentx file into the gentx folder
git clone https://github.com/<your-github-handle>/testnet
cp ~/.strd/config/gentx/<validator-moniker>-gentx.json mainet/gentxs
git add ./gentxs
git commit -m "added <validator-moniker> gentx"
git push
  1. Open a PR to this repo with your gentx
  2. Submit by January 12, 2020 at 12:00pm UTC.
