echo $(centaurid tendermint show-node-id)'@'$(curl -s ifconfig.me)':'$(cat $HOME/.banksy/config/config.toml | sed -n '/Address to listen for incoming connection/{n;p;}' | sed 's/.*://; s/".*//')
Check if validator key is correct
[[ $(centaurid q staking validator $(centaurid keys show wallet --bech val -a) -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(centaurid status | jq -r .ValidatorInfo.PubKey.value) ]] && echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[32mTrue\e[0m\n" || echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[31mFalse\e[0m\n"
Get live peers
curl -sS http://localhost:26657/net_info | jq -r '.result.peers[] | "\(.node_info.id)@\(.remote_ip):\(.node_info.listen_addr)"' | awk -F ':' '{print $1":"$(NF)}'
Set minimum gas price
sed -i -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.banksy\"/" $HOME/.banksy/config/app.toml
Enable prometheus
sed -i -e "s/prometheus = false/prometheus = true/" $HOME/.banksy/config/config.toml
Reset chain data
