Reviewing the On-Chain Root Node List

First, this guide will walk you through reviewing the root node list on the blockchain. Then, it will demonstrate how to compare this on-chain version with the active root node list.

  1. Connect to your root node server. How you do this might differ depending on your setup. For instance, Mac users can use the “terminal” application to set up an SSH connection to their server instance, while Windows users can use PuTTy or Powershell. You could also use your server hosting provider's management system to access your server console. If you experience problems during this step, contact a core team member.
  2. Go to the /rootnode directory. To accomplish this task, copy and paste the following command into your console and press enter to execute it:
cd mainnet-public-tools/rootnode
  1. Access the q-client console by executing this command (you might need to add sudo before that, depending on what rights your current user has):
docker-compose exec rootnode geth attach data/geth.ipc
  1. See the current on-chain root node list by executing this command:
gov.onchainRootList()

Comparing the On-Chain and Active Root Node List

  1. Follow steps 1-3 under "See Active On-Chain List"
  2. See the difference between the on-chain and the active root node list by executing this command:
gov.diffRootList("active", "onchain")
