To become a validator configure your node correctly and sync the full chain

please read: Installation and full node Setup.

collect the node privatekey​

cat node/consensus/validator.key

it will return your private key like this 

/root/setpos/node (main) $ cat node/consensus/validator.key

Install the staking script​

git clone https://github.com/Mind-chain/mindstaker
cd mindstaker 
npm i --f

it will install the node.js dependencies

setup the env vars using .env​

# Define the values
JSONRPC_URL="https://rpc-msc.mindchain.info/"
PRIVATE_KEYS="PASTE_THE_COLLECTED_PRIVATE_KEY"
STAKING_CONTRACT_ADDRESS="0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001001"
MAX_VALIDATOR_COUNT="1000"
MIN_VALIDATOR_COUNT="4"

# Create or overwrite the .env file
echo "JSONRPC_URL=$JSONRPC_URL" > .env
echo "PRIVATE_KEYS=$PRIVATE_KEYS" >> .env
echo "STAKING_CONTRACT_ADDRESS=$STAKING_CONTRACT_ADDRESS" >> .env
echo "MAX_VALIDATOR_COUNT=$MAX_VALIDATOR_COUNT" >> .env
echo "MIN_VALIDATOR_COUNT=$MIN_VALIDATOR_COUNT" >> .env

# Print a message indicating success
echo "written to .env file"

Note the node adress to topup mind for staking​

 npm run getbalance

it will print balance,address and pivatekey like this :

setpos/mindstaker (main) $ npm run getbalance

> staking-contracts@0.0.1 getbalance
> hardhat run scripts/getbalance.ts

copy the address and topup minimum 10000 mind for staking

now again back to the terminal and check your balance by npm run getbalance

Stake your mind​

npm run stake

now check your status​

npm run info

it will return some logs like this

if everithing configured correctly your node will start block mining

you can check the mining logs by attaching the tmux session 

tmux attach-session -t mind-node

Unstake your MIND​

npm run unstake
