## 2. Check logs

```
goal node status -w 1000
```

## 5. Generate your participation keys

```
getaddress() {
  if [ "$addr" == "" ]; then echo -ne "\nNote: Completing this will remember your address until you log out. "; else echo -ne "\nNote: Using previously entered address. "; fi; echo -e "To forget the address, press Ctrl+C and enter the command:\n\tunset addr\n";
  count=0; while ! (echo "$addr" | grep -E "^[A-Z2-7]{58}$" > /dev/null); do
    if [ $count -gt 0 ]; then echo "Invalid address, please try again."; fi
    echo -ne "\nEnter your voi address: "; read addr;
    addr=$(echo "$addr" | sed 's/ *$//g'); count=$((count+1));
  done; echo "Using address: $addr"
}
getaddress &&\
echo -ne "\nEnter duration in rounds [press ENTER to accept default)]: " && read duration &&\
start=$(goal node status | grep "Last committed block:" | cut -d\  -f4) &&\
duration=${duration:-2000000} &&\
end=$((start + duration)) &&\
dilution=$(echo "sqrt($end - $start)" | bc) &&\
goal account addpartkey -a $addr --roundFirstValid $start --roundLastValid $end --keyDilution $dilution

```

After a few minutes, you should see:

## 6. Check your participation status

```
getaddress() {
  if [ "$addr" == "" ]; then echo -ne "\nNote: Completing this will remember your address until you log out. "; else echo -ne "\nNote: Using previously entered address. "; fi; echo -e "To forget the address, press Ctrl+C and enter the command:\n\tunset addr\n";
  count=0; while ! (echo "$addr" | grep -E "^[A-Z2-7]{58}$" > /dev/null); do
    if [ $count -gt 0 ]; then echo "Invalid address, please try again."; fi
    echo -ne "\nEnter your voi address: "; read addr;
    addr=$(echo "$addr" | sed 's/ *$//g'); count=$((count+1));
  done; echo "Using address: $addr"
}
getaddress &&\
goal account dump -a $addr | jq -r 'if (.onl == 1) then "You are online!" else "You are offline." end'

```

*If you are online (participating in consensus) this should output `You are online!`. Otherwise, it will output `You are offline.`*

## 7. Register to go online

```
getaddress() {
  if [ "$addr" == "" ]; then echo -ne "\nNote: Completing this will remember your address until you log out. "; else echo -ne "\nNote: Using previously entered address. "; fi; echo -e "To forget the address, press Ctrl+C and enter the command:\n\tunset addr\n";
  count=0; while ! (echo "$addr" | grep -E "^[A-Z2-7]{58}$" > /dev/null); do
    if [ $count -gt 0 ]; then echo "Invalid address, please try again."; fi
    echo -ne "\nEnter your voi address: "; read addr;
    addr=$(echo "$addr" | sed 's/ *$//g'); count=$((count+1));
  done; echo "Using address: $addr"
}
getaddress &&\
goal account changeonlinestatus -a $addr -o=1 &&\
sleep 1 &&\
goal account dump -a $addr | jq -r 'if (.onl == 1) then "You are online!" else "You are offline." end'

```

*You will see a prompt for your address (unless you entered it earlier) and your wallet password. After you enter it, you should see the following:*

## 8. Renew your participation keys

```
getaddress() {
  if [ "$addr" == "" ]; then echo -ne "\nNote: Completing this will remember your address until you log out. "; else echo -ne "\nNote: Using previously entered address. "; fi; echo -e "To forget the address, press Ctrl+C and enter the command:\n\tunset addr\n";
  count=0; while ! (echo "$addr" | grep -E "^[A-Z2-7]{58}$" > /dev/null); do
    if [ $count -gt 0 ]; then echo "Invalid address, please try again."; fi
    echo -ne "\nEnter your voi address: "; read addr;
    addr=$(echo "$addr" | sed 's/ *$//g'); count=$((count+1));
  done; echo "Using address: $addr"
}
getaddress &&\
echo -ne "\nEnter duration in rounds [press ENTER to accept default)]: " && read duration &&\
start=$(goal node status | grep "Last committed block:" | cut -d\  -f4) &&\
duration=${duration:-2000000} &&\
end=$((start + duration)) &&\
dilution=$(echo "sqrt($end - $start)" | bc) &&\
goal account renewpartkey -a $addr --roundLastValid $end --keyDilution $dilution
