yes 1.31.0

1608

I have to make the second relay I will try to install the 1.30.1 and run the update.

1609

no, just run the 1.31.0
type free -m and show me the output

1610

$ free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 30100 5448 24531 0 120 24344
Swap: 2047 0 2047

1611

ok, more than enough :slight_smile:

1612

SOCKET="/opt/cardano/cnode/sockets/node0.socket"

save the file and restart the node
sudo systemctl restart cnode
wait for the node to start and check again in glive

Did not work…

1613

Now even tthis is not working!
cardano-cli query tip --mainnet

cardano-cli: Network.Socket.connect: <socket: 11>: does not exist (No such file or directory)

1614

Did you ever run this guide and install 1.31.0?

1615

of course…

try sudo systemctl status cnode

1616

Hey Alex,

I have just imported my Daedalus wallet through CNTOOLS and I have even sent 2 ADA to the address provided.

My question is regarding whether or not to register my wallet, as shown in the image below:

What is this register for?

1618

For delegation… I think it will do it automatically… is this a new wallet? You go to cntools wallet show and check the address (addr1…) then go to your wallet check if the address is present there… then send the ADA (in your wallet) to that wallet…

U restored in cntools the first wallet address only from the wallet

1619

It’s a new wallet. I bred in Daedalus and imported with seeds. Before, the balance was zero, and after importing into cntools I sent 2 ADA for testing, and it worked.

Okay, I’m going to proceed with creating the Stake Pool and registering.

Thank you very much.

Hey Alex…

The print is indicating that I will be leader of 3 slots in the next epoch, right? But still no guarantee of producing blocks? Is there anything I can/have to do or is it just a matter of waiting? Are the numbers good?

Hi,

Yes, 3 blocks were assigned to you…

  • did u installed chrony?
  • check if the producer has IN/OUT peers
  • check if the producers has tx processed
1622

IN/OUT pairs should be 3 each. I’m going to check one of the Relays.

Total TX is at Zero

I’m setting up Chrony today.

Any tips on total tx?

1623

Perhaps tx=0 because the TraceMempool is set to false on configuration file (due to insuffiecient RAM)

1624

I got it. So tx will always be 0 because TraceMempool is set to false? In fact I checked and TraceMempool is false in both Relays and Producer.

My producer has 32GB of RAM. Do you advise me to set it as true only on the producer? or regardless of that, will i be able to produce blocks?

1625

If the producer has 32G of RAM yes, set the TraceMempool to true, save the file and restart the node

check again on glive

Hey I was just reading through the guild operators and saw this :

######################################

User Variables - Change as desired

Common variables set in env file

######################################

#CPU_CORES=2 # Number of CPU cores cardano-node process has access to (please don’t set higher than physical core count, 2-4 recommended)

I don’t see this in the env file are do you know where I can go to change these defaults?
