Cosmos Validator

To participate in gaia-7000 you will need to follow these steps:

1. Fill out the validator signup form. You will need to create a genesis transaction with the gaiad init gen-tx command. Full instructions on the form. We will be collecting transactions until 9AM PST Monday, 16 July. To generate this transaction use the 0.21.0 release
2. Monday morning Pacific Standard Time we will begin the Validator Ceremony. Validators will have 12 hours during which they must come online and begin signing otherwise they will be either removed from the genesis block, or slashed when the network starts.

We will have a blog post detailing the changes between gaia-6002 and gaia-7000 up sometime later today. You can also always go check out the Release Notes to see what changed in the latest release.

Priceless organized job.

Awesome. Looking forward to gaia-7000

Great! Looking forward to the ceremony!

Cool.
Submitted my answer.

Submitted my genesis file.

and just in case this happen installing v0.21.0 (happen to me.)

make install error

"
make install
go install -tags netgo -ldflags “-X github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/version.GitCommit=06216c1” ./cmd/gaia/cmd/gaiad
#- github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/vendor/github.com/brejski/hid
exec: “gcc”: executable file not found in $PATH
Makefile:40: recipe for target ‘install’ failed
make: *** [install] Error 2
"
just need
apt-get install build-essential

then run
make install

and works, thanks to @zaki and @nuevax for the help.

I sent a wrong json file. Can I refill?

I’m feeling optimistic to see this new method of genesis file creation being implemented, as well as clearly communicated in this forum and not Riot chat

Thanks. I had the same error, ran your updated instructions and everything worked after that _/|_

I submitted my genesis file.

@jack I ran 'gaiad unsafe_reset_all" before running the gentx command. You may want to add that step to the form.

I think you can remove the .gaiad directory entirely before gen-tx as the old priv_validator.json and config are different, and the chain data will be new.

Do you Become Bacon like Validator for Cosmos in Gaia-7000 = Invitation here!...

Your lucky day today hum ;) Follow the Official link here To participate in gaia-7000 you will need to follow… by melea

good job @melea-trust !!

Should suggest those who are upgrading from previous testnets to delete both .gaiad and .gaiacli to avoid generating any error while gen-tx. May need to give some explanations on this as they got stuck after seeing the errors.

That’s why, I prefer to use docker which is easily get a clean version.

I am not sure if there should be some documents explaining the fundamental knowledge about the structure. Validators even don’t know the .gaiacli exists and don’t know what to do when they see an error message. Just telling about the steps to solve a case by case issue might not be an ultimate solution.

does the unsafe_reset_all command delete .gaiad and .gaiacli?

No, unsafe_reset_all reset doesn’t delete them. If it delete the directories, then you will lost all your keys and config which is a problem for reset.

I have a three questions about generated json

1. Can I delete my ip here, or change it to “0.0.0.0” if I want to stay private?
2. I saw, that in previous testnets people wrote here “power”:“1000”. Can I do the same now?
3. Why the name is empty? What should I write here if my moniker is “HELLOWORLD.COM Validator”?
   Thanks!

1. Keep the IP you have is fine.
2. You don’t have to change it.
3. You can keep it empty. The moniker is already in the “app_gen_tx” section.

So basically you keep the generated json intact and submit the content will be fine.

Could someone post here a sample of the contents of the gentx json file from Gaia7000 v 0.21.0? Would be nice to have a visual for confirmation.

NVM, I just found this: Upgrading `priv_validator.json`

Please note the priv_validator.json is different from the gentx json you have to submit. And you should not submit the priv_validator.json as there is the private key of your validator node inside.

What should I do now if I wrote “power”:“1000” instead of “100”? Could you fix it by yourself before collecting transactions? I can’t change it now, because the signup form does not allow me to sent fixed json.

Nobs mistakes… sorry

I wrote cosmocloud instead of coscloud in the form just now … Could somebody help me?
The json is composed with coscloud

Thanks in advance.

I sent it again… sorry for the inconvenience

i add to my guide, like you suggest
