The Node Launchpad will now open in a terminal window.
If you intend to participate in the Beta Rewards Program Press O to go to the options screen, then Press Ctrl B.
Note: It’s optional! If you don’t want to participate and compete for rewards, you can still run a node and contribute. Just skip to Step 9. You can always join later.
You’ll be prompted to accept the Terms & Conditions. Have a read, and if you are happy to continue Press Y.
Now type in your Discord Username, and then Press Enter. Note: Your username may be different to your Display Name. Be careful, as this is how your earnings will be tracked. Careful, no typos!
Now Press S to go back to the Status Screen and then Press Ctrl G to start some nodes.
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.
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.
You’ll see the amount of storage space used, and the amount of Nanos they have earned in the Device Status panel.
If you are joining the Beta Rewards Program and have added your Username in Step 6, any Nanos you earn will be sent from your device to be tracked on the Leaderboard
Use the Discord Bot to see your place on the weekly leaderboard and track your progress. Just type
/rankin the Discord chat, and the Bot will reply. It can take several hours for the Discord Bot and the leaderboards to update, so be patient once you've earned some Nanos.s.Congratulations! Having earned your first Nanos, you’re in line for some rewards.
