Genesis validators

If the network is already running; continue with the steps below. Otherwise follow the instructions here to create an gentx.

Create a validator

1. Init Chain and start your node

   > quicksilverd init <moniker-name> --chain-id=quicksilver-1

2. Create a local key pair Note: we recommend only using Ledger for mainnet! Key security is important!

   > ## create a new key:
   > quicksilverd keys add <key-name>
   > ## or use a ledger:
   > quicksilverd key add <key-name> --ledger     
   > ## or import an old key:
   > quicksilverd keys show <key-name> -a

3. Download genesis Fetch genesis.json into quicksilverd's config directory (default: ~/.quicksilverd)

   > curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ingenuity-build/mainnet/main/genesis/genesis.tar.gz > genesis.tar.gz
   > tar -C ~/.quicksilverd/config/ -xvf genesis.tar.gz

   Genesis sha256

    shasum -a 256 ~/.quicksilverd/config/genesis.json
    XXX  /home/<user>/.quicksilverd/config/genesis.json

4. Start your node and sync to the latest block

5. Create validator

   $ quicksilverd tx staking create-validator \
   --amount 50000000uqck \
   --commission-max-change-rate "0.1" \
   --commission-max-rate "0.20" \
   --commission-rate "0.1" \
   --min-self-delegation "1" \
   --details "a short description lives here" \
   --pubkey=$(quicksilverd tendermint show-validator) \
   --moniker <your_moniker> \
   --chain-id quicksilver-1 \
   --from <key-name>
