Tokenomics of the Nibiru Chain.
Where 60% is kept for the community.

Let’s get and configure our VPS server:

A VPS, which I previously described, allows us to run our node in a Virtual Server. I’m sure you are familiar with what the word “Virtual” means; after all, what we are doing is on our laptop but not really on our laptop, if you think about it. So how do we get one? Running a node requires some really complicated procedures and even a complicated computer system.
go to: https://cutt.ly/p0zdTYb and then tap “SIGN UP” using your email address at the top.
when choosing a password, don’t use any special characters if not it won’t work, use only numbers and letters (Capital and small letters) after that choose “private individual”
and choose a card as the payment option, you can get a USD card from chippercashapp.
Or, if you have a Master Card, you can just use that. You can also use Paypal. I used a card. After entering your card information, just continue. Your page should then look like the one in the image below.
Now tap on this link: https://cutt.ly/p0zdTYb and select “CLOUD VPS S” now to be 100 transparent with you guys this is my affiliate link, you can decide whether to use it or not, I would really appreciate it if you use it though. Thank you in advance.
Next, choose CLOUD VPS S and choose 1 month and choose “European union.”
Scroll down and choose “400GB SSD” and “UBUNTU 22.04.”
Now here’s a part to pay attention to, scroll down and click on “GENERATE PASSWORD” now copy the password and save it on your note pad, don’t lose this password, please.
Now don’t touch any other thing just tap on “NEXT”
On the next page, tap on “ORDER & PAY” on the next page you will see a payment processing message and you will be debited about $16.98 from your card if everything went well, next thing check your email.
And you should have received your first email with a receipt of our payment immediately, open it and you can track your order from there, now you have to wait about 20 Mins at most for the second email which will come with your login details, after that open the second email.
And you will see the IP address given to you. Now that’s the most important thing on that email, now anywhere on this tutorial I ask you to use an IP address just know I’m talking about these numbers, your own will definitely be different from mine, so keep yours safe.

Now, let’s start to earn some points.

Let's run Nibiru Node!

Now let’s jump to running the Nibiru Node in your new VPS, which requires us to open putty.
open your downloads and click on “open file”
now remember the IP address of your VPS that we got my double clicking on our VPS? yes copy and paste it on the “Hostname” area and tap on open, if you get that warning sign just tap on “accept.”
Your username is “root,” so enter that and press the enter key when prompted. When prompted for a password, remember the one that was sent to your email; copy it, paste it where prompted, and then press the enter key.
Now if you waste time, it will bring up an error like the one below meaning it has logged you out no matter your progress in some cases, so you really need to be fast, it might not bring up something like this, but it will just show you inactive at the top of your screen, so you have to close the PuTTY app and open it again.
Now let me explain something for you, the remaining tutorial will be me giving you the code commands, all you need to do is copy and paste at the appropriate time, you can only paste code command when your VPS server allows it. As soon as you see something like “root@on……:” you can write otherwise you have to wait, if you don’t see something like this probably when you run a command, don’t try and write anything just wait, I repeat just wait., this applies to all the tutorial below.
now to paste code command all you have to do is to copy them from here and to paste any code command that you have already copied above, just right-click where you want to paste the code command on your VPS. JUST RIGHT CLICK ON THE PLACE YOU WANT TO PASTE IT AND IT WILL JUST APPEAR THERE.
Let’s move on; just copy and paste the code commands as I instruct you to do so to avoid problems.
If I were you, I would split my screen in half, with this medium article on one side and your putty open on the other, making it simple for you to copy and paste.

1. Paste this code in your putty or termius.

wget -q -O nibiru.sh https://api.nodes.guru/nibiru.sh && chmod +x nibiru.sh && sudo /bin/bash nibiru.sh

After pasting the command, it will prompt you to provide your validator name, you may use your own name as the validator name and press enter.
The procedure will take about 5 minutes to finish, and once you see the image below, you can move on.

2. Now paste this in your terminal

source $HOME/.bash_profile

It won’t do anything, all it does is take you directly to another line, and that is perfectly fine.

3. Create wallet for our node.

nibid keys add wallet

It will ask for your wallet password after you’ve pasted this, so be sure to write it down. It will then create a wallet for you. Copy everything it gives you in return and store it securely in a notepad.
Ensure the safety of your wallet by copying and pasting all relevant information.

4. Checking if our node is synchronized or not.

curl -s localhost:26657/status | jq .result.sync_info.catching_up

You need to wait for a while, for about 30 to 40 minutes, if it returns “TRUE,” which means that your node is not yet synchronized.
Run the aforementioned command once more after some time has passed, and “FALSE” will be returned. If “True” is still returned, wait a while before trying again.

5. Transfer Funds from keplr to our node address.

• Remember, we saved our wallet info, this is your node Nibiru address, copy it.

• Go to keplr wallet,
• Click on send button.

• In the Recipient address, put address from your node, and in amount 8 and click on “Send”.

• Click on “Approve”.

Once the transaction has been approved, let’s see if we have the nibi token in our node or not.

6. Checking balance.

nibid q bank balances YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS

Change “YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS” with the node address that we previously saved.
For example: this is my wallet address.

nibid q bank balances nibi1akcs6v4tje6det3x3n4tp3q38ehpu4pfja0kvk

In the image above, take note of where I’m pointing; this represents the amount we transferred from Keplr to our node wallet.

7. Get valoper address

nibid keys show wallet --bech val -a

You will need to enter the password you entered for your wallet address, which I advised you to keep in mind.
You’ll receive your valoper address after entering your password, keep this confidential.

8. Create our validator

nibid tx staking create-validator \
--amount=1000000unibi \
--pubkey=$(nibid tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker="$VALIDATOR" \
--chain-id=nibiru-itn-1 \
--commission-rate="0.1" \
--commission-max-rate="0.10" \
--commission-max-change-rate="0.01" \
--min-self-delegation="1000000" \
--fees=10000unibi \
--from=wallet \
-y

You will need to enter the password you entered for your wallet address, which I advised you to keep in mind.
After successfully entering your password, you will see something similar to the image below.

9. Delegate more tokens to your valoper address.

Before copying this command, please replace “YOUR_VALOPER_ADDRESS” with your valoper address that we saved earlier.

nibid tx staking delegate YOUR_VALOPER_ADDRESS 6980000unibi --from wallet --chain-id nibiru-itn-1 --fees 5000unibi

For instance, mine look like this:

nibid tx staking delegate nibivaloper1akcs6v4tje6det3x3n4tp3q38ehpu4pfmxpdct 6980000unibi --from wallet --chain-id nibiru-itn-1 --fees 5000unibi

You will need to enter the password you entered for your wallet address, which I advised you to keep in mind.
When prompted with the “Y/N” question after entering the password, type “Y” and press Enter.
This is what you will see after pressing Y and Enter.

10. Checking if you successfully delegated or not

• Go to any browser of your choice.
• paste this: https://nibiru.exploreme.pro/validator/YOUR_VALOPER_ADDRESS
• Please replace “YOUR_VALOPER_ADDRESS” with your valoper address.

The amount you delegated is shown here.

11. Let’s get validator role in discord

• Go here: discord link here.
• paste this: https://nibiru.exploreme.pro/validator/YOUR_VALOPER_ADDRESS
• Please replace “YOUR_VALOPER_ADDRESS” with your valoper address.

See the image below for reference:

• Paste your link like this and send it to discord, after some time you’ll be rewarded with validator role.
