November BetaNet Compensation Applet Instructions

This applet will allow you to sign the contract to receive 4,000xx in compensation for running your node in the first half of November 2021. Only nodes with > 60% uptime between ProtoNet and MainNet are eligible. If you are eligible you will receive an email.

MainNet Nodes

Per the November Payments announcement, you need to register a new wallet to receive your November payments in

Next week, the process for operators to move their nodes over to the new wallet will be done. You will be moving your node to this new wallet, which will free your current wallet to nominate any node while maintaining the Team Multiplier – thereby ensuring your coins can take the most advantage of nominating on the xx network.

Step 1 – Generate a new wallet

Please use the Quantum Ready Wallet Generator to make a new wallet. Make sure to keep it safe, this will be the wallet your node will be validating from.

Step 2 – Sign the contract for the new wallet

Using the November Payment Applet (download below) use your BetaNet Keys to sign the contract and commit to your new wallet. 

You will need to use this wallet with the new MainNet Transition Program Commitment applet next week.

That is it. The team will get your coins over the next week and start the next phase of the process soon.

CanaryNet Nodes

Using the Form

To fill out this form, you need the credentials for your BetaNet node (key, public certificate, and IDF). Per previous instructions, the team expects node operators to have these in a secure location. To find these, refer to Finding Betanet Node Credentials on the wiki. If you do not have them already, download them to the machine from which you are running the app.

1. First, select your Node’s public certificate. It will be a .crt or .cert file.
2. Select your Node’s private key. It will be a .key file.
3. Select your Node’s identity file (IDF). It will be a .json file.
4. Enter the wallet to receive payment. If you are a MainNet node, this will be a new wallet. If you are a CanaryNet node, this will be an existing or new wallet.
5. Review the contract and press the checkmark to accept the conditions. Note that you can view the entire contract on a separate page or print it for your records.
6. Press the “Submit” button and wait for the confirmation message. This may take a few moments.

If you do not have your BetaNet Keys, the team cannot help you.
