Receiving validator tokens

[f1ashback]

Hello,

I was setting up a test node recently and it completed fine until the step with getting validator tokens as mentioned here. It's been a while already, but I haven't received any tokens still. It was mentioned after that:

When you receive our notification about joining the Validator Set, we will delegate some tokens to your validator account.

Should I still wait for some notification or they are sent auto? Or maybe someone can send the tokens as a workaround?
And then another question about this part:

After setting keys, please file a request with your validator account (sr25519) to join ParaState Testnet validator set (link TBD). You'll be added to the validator set once our admin approves your request.

Is there some form which needs to be filled or where do you file such a request?

Then later the node should show up here too, right?
What's the best way to check the node status and if it's working fine (some commands or webui for example)?

Thanks

Hi @f1ashback

After you set the keys, we will add it into our validator set, and you don't need to fill any form currently.
And we have a validator status webpage: https://status.parastate.io/ . You can find your account info once you become one of the validators.

Thanks. Maybe you how long does it usually take to get it approved? Is it days or weeks? Or how do I make sure that it's set up correctly? When I enter the key on the faucet page it shows an increased balance there, so I guess the key is recognized then.

A week or less.

If you set correctly, you can find it on the Substrate Event. Once you're on the validator set, you will see on the status.parastate.io

I've noticed that it's often showing this in the output too. First it imported some blocks, but now seems to stay idle? Is that a normal operation?

And another question, can you add the same account on multiple nodes?
