Start Nodes

Notification

Please be aware that recommended way of starting a pool is to use Docker.

Initializing Keys

Each Node needs to have keys initialized

• ed25519 transport keys (used by ZMQ for Node-to-Node and Node-to-Client communication)

• BLS keys for BLS multi-signature and state proofs support

Note: Seed can be any randomly chosen 32 byte value. It does not have to be in the format 00..<name of the node>.
