Stake pool creation help

Staking & Delegation Operate a Stake Pool
1

Hi all,

Thanks for your previous help,

I need a little clarification as it does not entirely make it clear.

I am at the final steps with the BP node, which is now only talking to my Relay node.

Although with the attached photo steps? are the 3 top options to be done on my Airgapped machine or BP node and remove the keys? Doesn’t quiet make it obvious enough.

Here is a link of the site if anyone wants to see more detail.

Thanks.

Also a confirmation on whether I am supposed to have my BP node syncing and running prior to these steps? This particular tutorial does not touch on that from what I see so far.

Yes, wait for the BP to be synced first

Hi!

you can follow the official guide how to create and run a block producer node:
https://docs.cardano.org/projects/cardano-node/en/latest/stake-pool-operations/start_your_nodes.html

That’s for the reply,

I cannot start the BP if I have not generated all the keys.

Can someone please paste me the correct way to do this on an air gapped machine, so I can generate the keys from my fully synced relay server

Thank you

Also on my relay node, this is the 3rd attempt at creating it from scratch,

I can never get the node to full sync, At Epoc 207 I get these errors and it will not move any further.

Thank you, I will get to that as soon as they sync, has been a pain staking 24 hours.

I have hit a bit of a problem @ epoch 263

Here is a screen shot of my graphana graph.

the system has seemed to come to a stop…

this is on AWS t2.Medium, I have just ticked unlimited CPU credits incase this was my issue, But it does not seem to be… Was working so smoothly and now has come to a stop according to my logs.

Here is a screen shot of the graph.

And here is a copy of my log follow.

This is on my relay node, and due to this stopping my block node has obviously stopped syncing as well as it is syncing to only this node.

9

how much RAM have the servers?

10

8g…

Thanks Alex,

I found the issue, It was the CPU Credits, just took 15 minutes to kick over.

Does anyone have any tips once the BP & Relay are live, what best instance type previously people have used for a cost effective solution. ? On AWS as i would want to migrate.

I recommend VPN M SSD plan, only 10$

the cheapest VPS, witht 3 DC in SUA GERMANY and SINGAPORE

12

Thanks Alex,

I will take a look, As i can barely log into my SSH session, Has died almost its running so slow now.

13

It seems the server is out of resources

14

Ok i fixed this issue, Now i have just transferred ADA to my node, Is there a rough time it takes to see this?

15

Nope, if the node is synced u should see the funds

Check the address on cardanoscan.io u should see the funds there

16

Funds are there,

Finally my node is up and functioning and registered.

Small issue, I have accidently registered it @ 15% margin.

this is supposed to be 1.5

Although now when I refollow the steps i receive a negative funds error,

Do I need to pay the 340 again to change this?

17

nodes name is Mistral

18

Nope, u will need to send the new pool certificate but thhis time the pool registration will be 0

19

Thank you i will update this in the morning as it is now 2am here in Australia, I noticed you were from romania in another post, Lovely part of the world. I go every year. my wifes family is based near Deva.

Anyway i will let you know how i go.
