To all DECENT enthusiasts,
As a pioneer with Bitcoin the DECENT foundation was among my top picks for the coming years. On ICO release day I took all my BTC to participate in this great adventure. In the Crypto Currency World there are a few projects where I kept my eyes on. Another project from my home country I strongly encourage is Ethereum. And don't forget about the DAO. I have been an early CPU miner with Bitcoin and I used GPU on scrypt to contribute in Litecoin. Before Crypto Currency I used to compute for sience projects like Clean Water and Cancer Research and I hope the free computing ressources can be used for sience once again after all the Bitcoins have been mined.
If you found this page you already know about the importance of the DECENT system for our "free" market. So I encourage you to become a witness or seeder on DECENT.
If you are new to all of this and still want to play around you may hit me up and I'll point you to easier things for a start.

DECENT Mining/Validating/Witnessing Guide
I - SERVER SETUP
A dedicated server with Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is most recommend for 24/7 operation.
I suggest securing the system with a firewall, close the root and create a new user.
1. Create a new user
adduser bob
2. Elevate him
usermod -aG sudo bob
3. Generate a new keyset
ssh-keygen
4- Bind the new keys
ssh-copy-id bob@your_server_ip
Copy the keys to your local drive. You'll need them to connect.
5. Change the config file
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Change Line PasswordAuthentication no
6. Finish with
sudo systemctl reload sshd
7. Login with your ssh key, user and password
ssh bob@your_server_ip
II - PREREQUISITES
1. Grab your tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential autotools-dev automake autoconf libtool make cmake checkinstall realpath gcc g++ flex bison doxygen gettext git qt5-default libqt5svg5-dev libreadline-dev libcrypto++-dev libgmp-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libssl-dev libncurses5-dev libboost-all-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev python-dev libicu-dev libbz2-dev
2. Download and build Boost 1.60.0
mkdir -p ~/dev/DECENTfoundation/DECENT-Network-third-party
cd ~/dev/DECENTfoundation/DECENT-Network-third-party
rm -rf boost_1_60_0* boost-1.60.0*
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.60.0/boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
tar xvf boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
mkdir boost-1.60.0_prefix
cd boost_1_60_0
export BOOST_ROOT=$(realpath ../boost-1.60.0_prefix)
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=$BOOST_ROOT
./b2 install
cd ..
rm -rf boost_1_60_0 boost_1_60_0.tar.gz
III - INSTALLATION
1. Clone the repo
mkdir -p ~/dev/DECENTfoundation
cd ~/dev/DECENTfoundation
#via ssh $
git clone [email protected]:DECENTfoundation/DECENT-Network.git
#via url $
git clone https://github.com/DECENTfoundation/DECENT-Network.git
cd DECENT-Network
git submodule update --init --recursive
2. Build and install Decent
mkdir -p ~/dev/DECENTfoundation/DECENT-Network-build
cd ~/dev/DECENTfoundation/DECENT-Network-build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ~/dev/DECENTfoundation/DECENT-Network
cmake --build . --target all -- -j -l 3.0
cmake --build . --target install
IV - USE DECENT
You don't want your server to shut down the process when you lose connection or quit.
I use tmux. Though nohup is sufficient for infrequent access. Use it when you fire up decentd after miner setup.
nohup ./decentd &
disown
1. RUN decentd - On first run decentd will create .decent in the home directory.
~/dev/DECENTfoundation/DECENT-Network-build/artifacts/prefix/bin/decentd
Always close it with Ctrl+C
2. Get HELP
cd ~/dev/DECENTfoundation/DECENT-Network-build/artifacts/prefix/bin/
./decentd -h
3. RUN cli_wallet
~/dev/DECENTfoundation/DECENT-Network-build/artifacts/prefix/bin/cli_wallet
Always close it with Ctrl+D
4. USE cli_wallet
set_password xy
unlock xy
5. IMPORT your account
import_key decentgo_username your_private_key
6. CREATE 3 sets of keys for your new account
suggest_brain_key
write them down, don't use the ones below. ;)
1. new owner key
{
"brain_priv_key": "UNBUSH ROAR CHKALIK STRUE PLATTEN DEMOB COLETIT DECAYER SPERONE SPASMED ANATASE LAGGARD BESPETE AXOID SERAL CHEKI",
"wif_priv_key": "5J4brX9bydADigEtsXZhCZ1YLVXkq8frp4xcKAREQ3Gh3P2DE7e",
"pub_key": "DCT5VNJni7HypYi159qiwazZ1WZUt4p2v7NLQmFCJPDvjBpW2oG8a"
}
2. new active key
{
"brain_priv_key": "FUSION BLART JAIL FESTAL LAXNESS ROSTEL TITI VANADYL PUG BATATA KAIK ROSETY STUCCO TETE BEMUDDY WUDGE",
"wif_priv_key": "5HvsjRsokHSeeUdRkM88JgLzYJ6vnc2e35CzyZNRnmh1fvm91Jz",
"pub_key": "DCT7G7KeUnMPVKXN2y8M7BnyosLRE3LtSnNp7kbxtYd9xHiBoX6wd"
}
3. new public signing key
{
"brain_priv_key": "DECESS LABBA PLAN DEHUSK FISTY MOSSER SPURTER SCORIAE INDART UNDYE MASTER STEIGH SAFROLE FLURR THAPSIA JOB",
"wif_priv_key": "5JgMsecySgt2BQsmmEE9QnwAGuudC9fGeZJhreyPatcu2TVY9bs",
"pub_key": "DCT6D7TLeVJmPQWR73XHvEhTVHzTDoG6oTSUyvfGa58nuc5wL96UH"
}
7. CREATE your new account, the public_key starts with DCT
register_account new_username public_key1 public_key2 decentgo_username true
8. SEND some DCT to your new account
transfer decentgo_username target_username 3.00 DCT "memo" true
9. IMPORT the new account
import_key new_username your_private_key2
10. Close the Wallet and edit the config.ini inside /root/.decent/data/decentd/
private-key = ["DCTX","5Y"]
11. Launch again and create your miner
create_miner username "proposal URL" true
12. Change your signing key to 3rd keypair from suggest_brain_key
update_miner username "proposal URL" public_key3 true
13. Edit the config.ini again inside /root/.decent/data/decentd/
enable-stale-production = true
miner-id = "1.4.X"
Your Server is now ready to run a DECENT witness.
Be aware that you should not close your daemon at any time.
V - USEFUL COMMANDS
get_brain_key_info
dump_private_keys
get_account texxi
get_miner texxi
list_my_accounts
list_account_balances username
set_desired_miner_count username 99
