Setting up vars

Your Nodename (validator) that will shows in explorer

NODENAME=<Your_Nodename_Moniker>

Save variables to system

echo "export NODENAME=$NODENAME" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
if [ ! $WALLET ]; then
	echo "export WALLET=wallet" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
fi
echo "export BLOCKX_CHAIN_ID=blockx_50-1" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Update packages

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Install dependencies

sudo apt install curl build-essential git wget jq make gcc tmux net-tools ccze -y

fi

Download and build binaries

cd $HOME
curl -LO https://github.com/defi-ventures/BCX-atlantis-testnet-2-node-compiled/releases/download/assets/blockxd
chmod +x blockxd
mv blockxd $HOME/go/bin/blockxd

Config app

blockxd config chain-id $BLOCKX_CHAIN_ID
blockxd config keyring-backend test

Init app

blockxd init $NODENAME --chain-id $BLOCKX_CHAIN_ID

Download configuration

cd $HOME
curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/konsortech/Node/main/Testnet/Blockx/genesis.json > $HOME/.blockxd/config/genesis.json
curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/konsortech/Node/main/Testnet/Blockx/addrbook.json > $HOME/.blockxd/config/addrbook.json

Set seeds and peers

sed -i 's/seeds = \"\"/seeds = \"[email protected]:26656,[email protected]:26656\"/g' $HOME/.blockxd/config/config.toml

Disable indexing

indexer="null"
sed -i -e "s/^indexer *=.*/indexer = \"$indexer\"/" $HOME/.blockxd/config/config.toml

Config pruning

pruning="custom"
pruning_keep_recent="100"
pruning_keep_every="0"
pruning_interval="10"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.blockxd/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.blockxd/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/.blockxd/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.blockxd/config/app.toml

Set minimum gas price

sed -i -e "s|^minimum-gas-prices *=.*|minimum-gas-prices = \"0abcx\"|" $HOME/.blockxd/config/app.toml

Create service

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/blockxd.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=BlockX
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which blockxd) start --home /root/.blockxd

Register and start service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable blockxd
sudo systemctl restart blockxd && sudo journalctl -u blockxd -f -o cat
