🚨 Maintenance
Get validator info
story status 2>&1 | jq .ValidatorInfo
Get sync info
story status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo
Get node peer
echo $(story tendermint show-node-id)'@'$(curl -s ifconfig.me)':'$(cat $HOME/.story/config/config.toml | sed -n '/Address to listen for incoming connection/{n;p;}' | sed 's/.*://; s/".*//')
Check if validator key is correct
[[ $(story q staking validator $(story keys show wallet --bech val -a) -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(story 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.story\"/" $HOME/.story/config/app.toml
