@Alexd1985 - Yes, I am using CNTools.
And if u go in cntools - wallet - show what is the error?
Also did u created the wallet first?
Alex, I am not sure in relation to what you need to know wallet creation time-line ? However what i could remember, i created pool first then the wallet.
Neverthless, ./cntools.sh shows below warning first. afterwards when i go into into wallet->show option, attached screen displays.
** WARNING **
Pool SWEETPOOL in need of KES key rotation
Keys expired! : 1d 03:05:02 ago
press any key to proceed …
to remediate above warning , i ran below command and restarted the node. and now that warning about KES rotation is gone away.
./rotatePoolKeys.sh SWEETPOOL
sudo systemctl restart cnode
Afterwards rotate keys, output of ./gLiveView.sh also changed a bit (at bottom, KES Current/remaining, Expiration, Block [Leader, Adopted, Invalid] fields were no present in earlier screenshot).
However, Biggest Change is that now Node is showing as a Core. Earlier it was showing as Relay. Not sure what root-cause changed it.

@Alexd1985 - w.r.t. this guide instruction, “after all nodes are 100% synced, it’s time to connect to each other!”, by looking at above screenshot of Core Node, How to know if Core Node is 100% synched ? Similarly, what is current status of my Relay Node as per below screenshot ?

Add ur relay inside topology file (Producer) and add your Producer inside the topology_Updater.sh scrip to custom peers (relay)
Then for Relay:
- run ./deploy-as-systemd.sh press Y for topology updater and restart the node
Producer
- after u added the Relay IP + port inside the topology file restart the node
@Alexd1985 - Does that mean, both nodes already synched 100% ?
no, there are not synced… we are in epoch 187
Does current total epoch on testnet i.e. 187 matches with mainnet ? Or is this number currently different on mainnet ?
Is it okay to connect core and relay together even before synching not completed ? I hope it does not cause any other issue ?
you can’t… the connection will not be accepted
good question… I think testnet it’s working on epoch 153… you can try to connect the nodes eachother
nodes connected together below pasted are latest screenshots. I hope all okay ?




Perfect now u should wait for other nodes to connect your relay; u must wait for the topology updater to run 4 times (3 hours)
After connecting nodes together, tried test ada transfer into my wallet address on the Core Node and now some other error.

Where do u see the error?
i tried this command on Core (BP) Node’s command prompt (terminal).
But, what are u trying to do?
i need some test Adas into my wallet. Trying to utilise Testnet Faucet for same purpose. However Front-end GUI of Testnet Faucet seems broken right now. I also raised “Fix Documentation” defect on github (refer below forum topic i initiated).
Do you think above command is not for that purpose ?
I don’t know how it’s working but u will need a huge amount of ADA for testnet… so open another topic and ask someone to send ~1M ADA to your testnet address
cntools - wallet - show (to find your testnet address)
Oh, i thought default 1000 (expected to be sent by Faucet) will be enough to join the network as a Stake-Pool ?
Will these ~1M tAda be required by my Stake-Pool to have a fair chance (probability) of producing any Cardano Blocks ?
Yes, with 1M u should create blocks
