Nodes & Mining Problems
,
#1

Hey everyone! New to the community. I followed the guides here: Web-UI for NKN mining nodes (Windows Edition) and here: Guide: NKN’s official mainnet token swap tool to install nkn node, generate node wallet, beneficiary wallet, convert my ERC NKN to Mainnet and transfer to node wallet. I am not sure if it is a delay with the transfer, but the swap tool says the Mainnet is sent, but I still have not been able to create ID on my node. I get this error: “Failed to create ID. Make sure node’s wallet address has enough balance for generate ID fee, or use another wallet to generate ID for this node’s public key”.

I heck the nodes balance on https://nscan.io/ and it says it is empty. Should I just wait? What am I missing? Its been about 45 minutes or so since the transfer and nknd is up and running in my windows command prompt. Does that have to be running for the network to handle the transfer? Am I missing something? I made the investment to get this far and I don’t want to dump the project…

You can check your node local wallet address on nscan.io, and check to see if there is any transactions. If everything works well, you should see:

  1. 10 NKN in: from the NKN swap
  2. Generate ID: uses the 10 NKN you have there

This is what it shows when I search the wallet address I got from wallet.json on nscan.io:

Was I supposed to send to the beneficiary wallet (the web one)? I sent to the node wallet address.

Should send to node wallet address

Okay, I sent to the node wallet address that was in wallet.json and (which was the same as what appeared when using nknc command to show wallet info. But i’m still getting these errors when running nknd:

Hi, I’d like to ask if you managed to resolve the problem? I’m, having the same issue…

You need 10 mainnet NKN in your node wallet, in order to generate ID and start mining. The background of this charge is detailed here:
