For Windows Users

  1. Unzip the download

  2. Right-click on the app called node-launchpad and click Run as administrator

  3. Windows will warn you about an unrecognized app. Click More Info and then Run anyway

  4. The Node Launchpad will now open in a terminal window.

  5. Press O to go to the Options screen.

  6. Press Ctrl + B to join the Beta Rewards Program and enter your wallet address.

  7. You’ll be prompted to accept the Terms & Conditions for the Beta Rewards Progam. Have a read, and if you are happy to continue Press Y.

  8. Paste in your Wallet Address, and then Press Enter. If you don't have a wallet already have, you can follow our guide to Creating one with MetaMask. Note: This wallet is how you'll keep track of your earnings, and where we'll pay your rewards. So keep it safe.

  9. Now Press S to go back to the Status Screen.

  10. Then Press Ctrl + G to start some nodes.

  11. Press the up and down arrows to choose the number of nodes you want to start, then Press Enter to start them. We’d recommend you start just one or two to begin. Each will use 35GB of storage space, some memory, CPU, and some of your internet connection. Then add more as your resources allow.

  12. You’ll see the node(s) you’ve started appear in a list. They may take a few moments to start, but when they do they’ll turn green. They will be gathering data, then serving it to the Beta Network. If you’ve added several nodes, you can scroll the list with the up and down arrow keys.

  13. You’ll see the amount of storage space used, and the amount of Attos they have earned in the Device Status panel.

  14. Congratulations! Having earned your first Attos, you’re in line for some rewards! You'll be paid these rewards direct to your wallet address after the Autonomi Token Generation Event in January 2025.
