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

In any case don't forget to backup your ~/.sei/config/* folder and be sure you have 12 word seed phrase to recover your wallet

There will be 2 separate chains:
one for devnet
and one for incentivized testnet

Total of 266872 tSSCs were farmed and distributed to 13k+ unique reward addresses

We have farmed only 24.6 tSSCs in total :) How About you guys?

List of Addresses that successfully farmed at least 0.1 tSSC during Gemini Phase 1:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hpZTFPYAqUQBS6jmtZUPKzD8QWiLbgGBG--kGznsaRo/edit?usp=sharing

Full announcement can be found on forum: https://forum.subspace.network/t/266-872-4-tssc-farmed-during-gemini-phase-1/500

As a reminder, team is allocating 0.3% of the total token supply at mainnet launch to Gemini Phase 1.
The reward distribution will be proportional to the amount of tSSC credits earned during this phase and will not be a 1:1 conversion ratio for mainnet tokens.

Stay tuned for the upcoming announcement regarding Gemini Phase 2

Sei have started faucet channel. Now you can get 1 SEI to register your validator.

I highly recommend use the same wallet that you used for gentx generation

To top up your wallet navigate to #atlantic-1-faucet channel and use command below:

!faucet <YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS>

After that go and create your validator

#sei

For any validators not currently upgraded to v0.4.2 on killerqueen-1, please do so now! There are up to 300 points available for those signing in the first 50 blocks on this upgrade!
