This is the PSYROB public testnet. Tokens and registrations on this network have no real-world value and will be reset when we launch a new version.
Registration
Register a miner for your NGO
NGOs that want to take part in the testnet need a registered miner address. This address will be used when the NGO stands for election and when it participates in finality. You can register one miner address for your organisation.
What the words on this page mean
- Miner address
- The wallet address your mining program sends its rewards to.
- Blue block
- A block that the network counts as valid and in order. Most blocks are blue. Only blue blocks count for registration.
- PSY
- The coin of this network. On the testnet it has no value.
- Network fee
- A small amount of PSY paid for every transaction. It is taken from the address that sends it.
- Wallet
- An app, such as MetaMask, that holds the private key of your address and signs transactions for you.
- Transaction
- A signed message that changes something on the network, such as a registration.
- Vouch
- To state, as a registered miner, that you trust an NGO. Five vouches are needed.
- Attested
- An NGO that five registered miners vouched for, with no open challenge. Only attested NGOs can stand in the election.
What you need before you start
- The wallet that will act as the NGO’s miner.
- That address must have already mined at least one blue block.
- A small amount of PSY in the address for the network fee.
- You should be the person authorised to act for the NGO.
Steps
- Connect the wallet that controls the NGO’s miner address.
- Enter the name of the NGO and a short description (optional but recommended).
- Check that the page shows the address and that it has mined blue blocks.
- Click “Register NGO miner”.
- Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
- Wait for the transaction to confirm. The page will show the NGO name and “Registered”.
After you register
Other registered community miners can now vouch for your NGO. Once five different miners have vouched, the NGO becomes attested and can stand in the election.
Before miners can vouch, the NGO also publishes its details (country, registration number and a dossier) on the Submit and mint page, from the same address.
Common questions
- Can one NGO have more than one miner address?
- No. One miner address per NGO on this testnet.
- What if we change the person who manages the wallet?
- You will need to use the same address. Make sure the NGO keeps control of the private key.
- Do we need to register before or after we start mining?
- You must mine at least one blue block before you can register.
