Sei are planning to increase the active validator set to 50 nodes.

All validators are suggested to run optimization noscript and restart their seid process

wget -qO optimize-configs.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sei-protocol/testnet/main/sei-testnet-2/optimize-configs.sh
sudo chmod +x optimize-configs.sh && ./optimize-configs.sh
sudo systemctl restart seid

Note that this noscript significantly lowers conesnsus times, so it is ok to miss a few blocks here and there as long as you're not consistently missing blocks.

Hi peeps! As telegram has limited capabilities we are opening our official Discord Server

We have created separate channels for each testnet project that we are participating in. So now we can structure our communication better.

We will post all announcements in channels and duplicate it here in telegram

Please try to help each other and be respectful. Lets make this community better and grow together

And thanks for your support 🙏 ❤️

Hi community! We want to introduce ourselves. kjnodes were funded at the beginning of 2022 and we already have grown so much since then. We are young but very ambitious DevOps engineers from Latvia with more than 10 years experience working in IT industry. Crypto enthusiasts and node operators in various crypto ecosystems. Currently we are focused on building our own validator portfolio and develop our own community of crypto enthusiasts like us. We hope that our guides and instructions helped you in some way to learn more. As you may know we are also running validators and operating nodes in mainnets (Agoric, NYM and tomorrow Kujira). Nowadays its very hard to compete with other validators as validator seats are very limited. More and more people are joining in every day to grab their peace of cake.

So we would like to ask you for some help. If you want to support us and help us grow please consider delegating some tokens to our mainnet validators as a thank you for our hard work:

#nym

We will be very grateful for every single delegation and keep working even harder to grow our community!

Thank you very much ❤️

Block height can be watched here:
https://quicksilver.explorers.guru/block/98000

To perform binary upgrade, follow steps bellow that are written in our guide:
https://github.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/blob/main/quicksilver/killerqueen-tasks/we_are_the_champions.md

If you are experiencing this error when trying to register your node:
NodeChecker Error: 859: unexpected token at 'Failed to evaluate TPS: Error from within the transaction emitter: Request failed: RestError { code: 400, message: "invalid transaction: INVALID_AUTH_KEY", aptos_ledger_version: None }

Please run following noscript to fix it (your validator node will have to resync from scratch):
wget -qO fix_auth_error.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/main/aptos/testnet/fix_auth_error.sh && chmod +x fix_auth_error.sh && ./fix_auth_error.sh

Or consider reinstalling your validator node from scratch.

And if you have issues with default 80 port you can change it to 8080 by using commands:

cd ~/$WORKSPACE
wget -qO docker-compose.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/main/aptos/testnet/docker-compose.yaml
docker compose down
docker compose up -d

All solutions to your Aptos issues will be added here:
