Here is how you install dig on Testnet-3 and setup as a validator.

Remember, replace "validator_name" by your desired name in these following steps.

Clone the repo and install

git clone https://github.com/notional-labs/dig
cd dig/cmd/digd
go install .
export PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin
export GOPATH=~/go

Set up the dig account

If you don't have a validator yet

digd keys add validator_name
digd init validator_name --chain-id dig-testnet-3

If you have a validator, and want to migrate to your new node

# To prevent double signing, you should stop the validator node.
digd keys add validator_name --recover
# You will be prompted to type your mnemonic key

# Then, copy content of file `~/.dig/config/priv_validator_key.json` from old machine to new machine, same location.

Start digging

digd init validator_name -o --chain-id dig-testnet-3

wget -O ~/.dig/config/genesis.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notional-labs/dig/master/networks/testnet-3/genesis.json

digd keys show validator_name
# This will show detail of your account. Keep them in safe place.

digd start --p2p.persistent_peers [email protected]:26656,[email protected]:2090

For validators

If you want to check if you are validator or not, run this

digd keys show validator_name --bech val

If it contains "digvaloper", then you are. If not:

digd tx staking create-validator --moniker=validator_name --from=validator_name --pubkey="$(digd tendermint show-validator)" --amount="1000000udig" --commission-max-rate="0.10" --commission-max-change-rate="0.05" --commission-rate="0.05" --fees 40000udig --gas 40000 --min-self-delegation 1 --chain-id dig-testnet-3

# You can change the params if you like

You can check your balance with:

digd q bank balances $(digd keys show validator_name -a)

If you want to delegate:

digd tx staking delegate $(digd keys show validator_name --bech val -a) 50000udig --chain-id dig-testnet-3 --from $(digd keys show validator_name -a)

# You can change the params if you like

Receive rewards:

digd tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(digd keys show --bech=val -a validator_name) --from validator_name --fees 40000udig --gas 40000

Receive rewards and commission:

digd tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(digd keys show --bech=val -a validator_name) --from validator_name --commission --fees 40000udig --gas 40000

Check your validator status with:

digd status

if your validator is jailed, try unjailing it with this:

digd tx slashing unjail --from=$(digd keys show validator_name -a) --chain-id dig-testnet-3 --fees 40000udig --gas 40000
# There is some reasons when your account is jailed, and Jacob are going to change in the next build

For RPi users, if you want dig to run in background, create dig.service at /etc/systemd/system/ and edit like this. The parameters are depend on each user, so you can modify to fit your need.

[Unit]

After=network.target

[Service]

Type=simple

User=root

WorkingDirectory=/root

ExecStart=/root/go/bin/digd start --p2p.persistent_peers [email protected]:26656,[email protected]:2090

Restart=on-failure

StartLimitInterval=0

RestartSec=3

LimitNOFILE=65535

After that, get dig to work by running:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable dig
systemctl start dig

You can check if it is running or not by:

journalctl -u dig -f | grep height

This is a guide based on actual install of dig, so some minor errors on the others is inevitable. If you have some problems, create an issue or ask a question in Discord. Thank you!
