LikeCoin Public Testnet

Instructions on how to set up LikeCoin Testnet node and create validator. This is my version of official guide (https://docs.like.co/validator/likecoin-chain-node/setup-a-node) with some extra steps which allow you to set up a node in a step-by-step mode.

  1. Update and upgrade packages:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade --yes
  1. Install make and git:
sudo apt install make git
  1. Clone LikeCoin repository from GitHub:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/likecoin/likecoin-chain.git --branch release/v1.x --single-branch
  1. Fill variables with appropriate data. Replace <moniker> with your node name:
export MONIKER='<moniker>'
export GENESIS_URL='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/likecoin/testnets/master/likecoin-public-testnet-5/genesis.json'
export LIKED_SEED_NODES='[email protected]:26656,[email protected]:26656'
  1. Execute setup script:
cd ~/likecoin-chain
make -C deploy setup-node
  1. Activate service file and run it:
cd ~/likecoin-chain
make -C deploy initialize-systemctl
make -C deploy start-node
  1. Check your sync status. Wait until you get "catching_up": false (this might take some time).
curl -s localhost:26657/status
  1. Optionally, you can also check your service logs:
journalctl -u liked.service -f
  1. Add an operator key. Enter the password with at least 8 characters (you will use it to sign all transactions). Important: write mnemonic phrase in a safe place:
~/liked keys add <key_name> --keyring-backend file
  1. Join the LikeCoin Discord server https://discord.gg/likecoin and request token in #faucet-testnet channel using /faucet <address>
  2. Create validator:
~/liked tx staking create-validator \
--amount=500000000000nanoekil \
--pubkey=$(~/liked tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker=<moniker> \
--commission-rate="0.10" \
--commission-max-rate="0.50" \
--commission-max-change-rate="0.05" \
--min-self-delegation="500000000000" \
--chain-id="likecoin-public-testnet-5" \
--from=<key_name> \
--keyring-backend=file \
--gas 200000 \
--fees 1000000000nanoekil
  1. Make sure you appeared in Testnet Explorer: https://likecoin-public-testnet-5.netlify.app/validators
