  --pubkey  $(blockxd tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker $NODENAME \
  --chain-id $BLOCKX_CHAIN_ID\

Check your validator key

[[ $(blockxd q staking validator $BLOCKX_VALOPER_ADDRESS -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(blockxd status | jq -r .ValidatorInfo.PubKey.value) ]] && echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[32mTrue\e[0m\n" || echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[31mFalse\e[0m\n"

Get list of validators

blockxd q staking validators -oj --limit=3000 | jq '.validators[] | select(.status=="BOND_STATUS_BONDED")' | jq -r '(.tokens|tonumber/pow(10; 6)|floor|tostring) + " \t " + .description.moniker' | sort -gr | nl
