Hi there guys, relatively new to SPO’ing so still getting my head around the ins and outs. We’ve run RAIN now for a number of EPOCHs (3 months), and this epoch it looks like we may have finally been elected as a slot leader. Obviously excited to make our first block…
How best to interpret the following screen shot, assuming the block leader election is for this current epoch.
Waiting for a slot to produce a block in the remaining 1day left in epoch?
OR
Produced a block on not on chain (for some reason - perhaps a competitiion block was assigned?)
Is there a definition of what ‘Adopted’ means. Also the pool tools don’t show a block produced, however my Grafana dashboard does show a forged block (cardano_node_metrics_Forge_forged_int) ???
Last question:
IN the above BP screenshot - you can see 6 inbound connections (2 are my relays) and 4 have just shown up… is this normal?
Thanks @laplasz and @Alexd1985 . Thanks for the commands, and confirming I have not run the topologyUpdater on the node, and the topology.json on the BP only has my relays. Will lock down the ports and reboot as suggested. Appreciate.
I’ve read through the articles with reference to the block not appearing on the explorer… are there common reasons as to why this would have occurred that I can check for? I’ll look through the logs now, and try to make sense of what’s occurred. (A little bit disappointing for us, after waiting a few months for this!) So I’m very keen to get an understanding of what happened here.
OK thanks so much - yes this seems like a key tool I omitted in my initial setup. Restarting node, with the additional services now, and performing the sync. Hopefully the above can be helpful for someone else!
@Alexd1985 thanks again for your help! Perhaps a false alarm?? After a refresh/update of the scripts… it all shows as if the block has never been elected a leader… lol. Although the initial screen shot of gLiveView did show some metrics whereas now…

Hello. I am considering run NODE on Cardano instead of harvesting ETHEREUM as I was planning originally. WHat i need for that and what skills i need to have achieve to maintain the node to prevent issues?
K.
What about system requirements of my machine, rewards and ADA requirements and such? How often machine ca be rebooted and does it need run as server or I can work on it too.
Can u send links to some articles i could read? I was about to harvest ethereum but when I got some gpus we realized that distributor of energy could have issues with 10 power consumption sufficient for 10 flats not talking the electric network here is in Al not Cu so it can fire up easily if I for example run oven too and coffee can at same time

Hi Karlaz, start reading the basics about stake pools and operating them at docs.cardano.org.
I would suggest then to read guild-operators guid and use there scripts (cntools). These work great together with cncli scripts. Finally I found coincashew’s and pool247.eu’s guild very useful to setup a node. I suggest reading them all before choosing your preferred path.
