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
