How to claim test token?

please join https://t.me/phalafaucet and send /drip [your testnet address]

Why is it showing insufficientblance when I verify my account?

Set on-chain Identity would need 10 test tokens. Please try to obtain more test tokens.

Why is the tutorial of Secret Price Guessing Game missing?

Secret Price Guessing Game is now paused for function improvement. We are developing a special address for Phala team member to check the detail of the private transfer amount (Which means, we can't identify the source of private transfer either). Please stay tuned with the change of pin message :)

Can I bond multiple testnet accounts with 1 tg username / ETH address?

Yes.

Full-node

How to set a full-node?

Please refer to our tutorial with a VPS or Ubuntu 18.04 computer.

What if I accidentally shut down my node?

Input ./phala-node --chain poc2 --name "node name | testname"

What should I do after it shows InvalidLestenMultiaddr?

Please upgrade your node runtime to poc2-3.0-alpha1 using

curl -sL https://github.com/Phala-Network/phala-blockchain/releases/download/poc2-3.0-alpha1/phala-node -o phala-node

rm -f ./phala-node
curl -sL https://github.com/Phala-Network/phala-blockchain/releases/download/poc2-3.0-alpha1/phala-node -o phala-node
./phala-node --chain poc2 --name "h4x | Fz6if35RXq2jgYeGELBXiTBnSdE8NqDkA3iah5dG3hBaWXd"

What's the difference between TEE, GK, and Node on Phala Dashboard?

  • Node: Full-node
  • TEE: Set Gatekeeper node up but waiting to be enrolled
  • GK: successfully enrolled Gatekeepers

Can I bond multiple nodes with one testnet accounts?

One node can only be bonded with one testnet account. If you are running 20 nodes, you have to create 20 testnet accounts and set on-chain identities for them all. :)

Gatekeeper

Is there any requirement to be a Gatekeeper?

Gatekeeper node IS VERY IMPORTANT to Phala Network. It has to run 24/7 with a stable and wide-bandwidth network environment, and has to keep upgraded with all Phala updates.

For now, you can only use Linux codes to operate your Gatekeeper node. Besides, you might get slashed and lose your PHA once you went offline or committed the wrong operation. We would not suggest you set up a Gatekeeper node unless you are familiar with Linux system. :)

To set up a Gatekeeper Node, you need:

Meet this error as below

Error while dialing /dns/telemetry.polkadot.io/tcp/443/x-parity-wss/%2Fsubmit%2F: Custom { kind: Other, error: Other(B(A(Transport(ResolveError { domain_name: "telemetry.polkadot.io", error: Custom { kind: Other, error: "failed to lookup address information: Temporary failure in name resolution" } })))) }

It could be caused by your unstable network. And It's only a warning which would not affect the node setting.

Meet libsgx_urts.so:

Please download the latest version of SGX driver at https://01.org/intel-softwareguard-extensions/downloads/intel-sgx-dcap-1.7-release

Is it necessary to run a Gatekeeper node with a static IP?

Nope. But there could be possibility of going offline if you are running with an intranet IP.

How many Gatekeeper nodes can I run on one device?

One SGX-abled device can only run ONE Gatekeeper node.
