Setup Rubix Node

Nodes in Rubix mine tokens by utilizing credits earned by validating transactions in the network.

When a new node joins the network, it will have 0 credits and 0 tokens to start with. Over the time common pool will pick the node to validate transactions coming to the network. For every transaction that is validated, the node will earn 1 credit. Credits are non transferable and are only used to mine a new RBT token.

Number of credits required by a node to mine a RBT token is determined by current level of the network. For example, if the network is at level 3, a node will need 32 credits to mine a token. If the network is at level 4, a node will need 64 credits to mine a RBT token. Credits required to mine a token doubles every time the network level increases.

To know more about level and credits, please read the Whitepaper.

Any computer or personal laptop with 8GB of RAM and a decent internet connection can seamlessly run Rubix for token transfers / become validator / mining.

Kindly Install the pre-requisites in your machines.

1. To set up a Rubix Wallet, first download the latest rubix compatible ipfs release from IPFS Kubo releases IPFS Releases. The latest version of IPFS Kubo supported by Rubix is v18.0

2. To set up a Rubix Wallet, download the Rubix executable from Rubix releases Latest Releases and untar.

3. Once untar is done, copy extract the ipfs archive and move the ipfs file to that of rubixgoplatform. Provide r/w access to the executable by running

chmod +x rubixgoplatform

We recommend you run rubixgoplatform as screen/daemon/nohop etc.

1. Run the executable as follows.

./rubixgoplatform run -p <name of node> -n 0 -s -testnet

Please note in the above command if -port flag not given default port of 20000 will be run for that node.

2. To create a dID, run the following command

./rubixgoplatform createdid -fp

Input the password for you node (Note: This password is necessary for trnx.)

3. To view the did

./rubixgoplatform getalldid

4. To add RBT balance (Test Token)

./rubixgoplatform generatetestrbt -did <did> -numTokens <no. of token> -port

5. To setup a node as quorum (This will enact your node as quorums)

./rubixgoplatform setupquorum -did <did> -port <port>

6. To add the quorumlist to the sender node

./rubixgoplatform addquorum -port <port> -quorumList quorumlist.json

below is the quorum list you can use

[
    {
        "type": 2,
        "address": "Quorum1DID"
    },
    {
        "type": 2,
        "address": "Quorum2DID"
    },
    {
        "type": 2,
        "address": "Quorum3DID"
    },
    {
        "type": 2,
        "address": "Quorum4DID"
    },
    {
        "type": 2,
        "address": "Quorum5DID"
    },
    {
        "type": 2,
        "address": "Quorum6DID"
    },
    {
        "type": 2,
        "address": "Quorum7DID"
    }
]
