Getting Started with Node

Run essentials (all by default: watcher,pricefeed,rmote)

pnpm start <watcher,pricefeed,remote>

Run each one seperate

pnpm run <watcher|pricefeed|remote>
```

There are 4 CLI commands you can run. If you want to use a specific RPC_NODE, then you can use it as optional argument.

Active a specific signing-key

```
pnpm run enable <SIGNING_KEY> <OPTIONAL_RPC_NODE>
```

Disable your witness directly

```
pnpm run disable <OPTIONAL_RPC_NODE>
```

Change your witness parameters

```
pnpm run update <OPTIONAL_RPC_NODE>
```

Rotate between signing-keys (in config)

```
pnpm run rotate <OPTIONAL_RPC_NODE>
```


#### Config Explanation

- WITNESS: Add you witness username.

- SIGNING_KEYS: Add **all** your signing keys here as pairs. As of HF20, you can now also update your witness with your current private signing key. This is also necessary for updating new properties.

```
 [{ "public": "STM7..", "private": "5JS.." }, { "public": "STM5..", "private": "5PD.." }, { .. }]
```

- Private Key (Optional): As of HF20, the private active key is optional and/or only needed if the witness is disabled and you want to enable it again.
