This page provides detail for what is required to setup a mining node on the Creditcoin network.
This page provides detail for what is required to setup a mining node on the Creditcoin network.
- 1.In order to receive mining rewards you will need an account on the Creditcoin network. Each account has an address and a balance associated with it. The account is backed by a keypair. You can use an existing ECDSA keypair (e.g. from pre-Creditcoin 2.0) or you can generate a new keypair. You can use subkey to retrieve the account address from an existing private key (e.g. from pre-Creditcoin 2.0) or to generate a new keypair.
- Using an existing ECDSA keypair:
- Your private key should be formatted as hex and start with
0x, for example0x3351b11eca7b5c78c0f55c681d9a2e8a0630bcc7a95a35a4a87615c916771774- Note: if your existing private key starts with
00, remove the leading00first.
- Run
docker run -it docker.io/parity/subkey inspect --scheme Ecdsa <private key>which will display the account information fot the keypair. For example:Secret Key URI `0x3351b11eca7b5c78c0f55c681d9a2e8a0630bcc7a95a35a4a87615c916771774` is account:Secret seed: 0x3351b11eca7b5c78c0f55c681d9a2e8a0630bcc7a95a35a4a87615c916771774Public key (hex): 0x02abf7befd96f80ce3a27772e7903f45a930c54ede2f0b9e052bfb21e90e0a4b40Account ID: 0xe37a568057962e95990cbba46c68f8d5b0d0d614abc8bc9f4e46af3e7aa8880cPublic key (SS58): KW6p8XTkd6pLhTnwfSfr3hUcVSKTQhJHZxTVD8RrpfUhUTrvnSS58 Address: 5HCy4x9b5mW28EYheGn14bWidQkhab5VMiNakia7i4VfxTKs - Copy the
SS58 Addressfor later use
- Generate a new keypair
- Run
docker run -it docker.io/parity/subkey:latest generate. This will generate a new keypair and print the account information, for example:Secret phrase: toss frown run relief book lift aunt guard reduce shell genuine alarmNetwork ID: substrateSecret seed: 0x5ad92bddf82eae47f5c9cc77a749fd175d9d80aadeab6555e3126a087f5eb5f1Public key (hex): 0x03084078b5d3633f53ceb103199332aaf86e7ebc1b2975e697dd5dc8653692b7b9Account ID: 0x7bbf1daa8ccb9aedccade233879f299a5485fbd0922d9458b19a5dbfde71da3cPublic key (SS58): KW8u8Y1GgAGWtTfU5o92imPsYVkowfbsKE7hosQHwJ2E7gF9hSS58 Address: 5ErxX8PgVYVE3WbCkSs9mvioFHVrsc4uXFwkF3G9Pyv4FC2w - Store your secret phrase (a 12-word mnemonic) in a secure location. We won’t use this phrase directly, but you’ll need it to access the account or recover your private key.

- 2.Start mining node
- Make make sure that your port 30333 is accessible by external connections
- Obtain your public IP address
- Run (remove comment lines first)docker run -p 30333:30333 -v <your local data path>:/data gluwa/creditcoin:2.0.0-beta-5 \# running a mining node--validator \# (optional) REPLACE <nodename> with a name for your node, to make it easier to identify--name <nodename> \# allow prometheus metrics to be scraped--prometheus-external \# (optional) opt in to telemetry--telemetry-url "wss://telemetry.polkadot.io/submit/ 0" \# node to connect to on boot, in order to join the network--bootnodes "/dns4/bootnode.creditcoin.network/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWAEgDL126EUFxFfdQKiUhmx3BJPdszQHu9PsYsLCuavhb" "/dns4/bootnode2.creditcoin.network/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWSQye3uN3bZQRRC4oZbpiAZXkP2o5UZh6S8pqyh24bF3k" "/dns4/bootnode3.creditcoin.network/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWFrsEZ2aSfiigAxs6ir2kU6en4BewotyCXPhrJ7T1AzjN" \# REPLACE <yourhostname or ip> with the public IP address or host name that your node can be reached at--public-addr "/dns4/<yourhostname or ip>/tcp/30333" \# we want to connect to the mainnet--chain mainnet \# REPLACE <SS58Address> with your mining public key/address to receive rewards at--mining-key <SS58Address> \# the base path to store the node's data--base-path /data \# the port to use for node-to-node communication--port 30333
