How to stake Electra coin in Linux

Hello guys,

today I would write short article for advanced users, how to stake Electra coin (basically any POS coin) in linux, ubuntu in VPS.

First, install Electra to your server (be sure you got pre-requisites):

git clone https://github.com/electra01/Electra.git
cd Electra/src
make -f makefile.unix 
sudo cp ./Electrad /usr/local/bin
Electrad -deamon

Then we need to create config file, as Electra neeed:

nano  ~/.Electra/Electra.conf

contents:
rpcuser=WriteHereYourUserName
rpcpassword=WriteHereYourPassword
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1

We need to start daemon, co we can encrypt wallet:

Electrad -daemon

It is good, if we encrypt our wallet with strong password, Electra will quit, so we start it again

Electrad encryptwallet "strongpassword"
Electrad -daemon

Next step is to create deposit address and transfer Electra coin there:

Electrad getaccountaddress 0

we have to wait for blockchain synced, we can get latest block in some block explorer, I used https://cryptobe.com/chain/Electra, to see which block is syncing we can type and look for "blocks" info:

Electrad getinfo

To be sure, transaction was successful and synced type:

Electrad listtransactions

Ok, we have some coins now in wallet, let's stake them by unlocking wallet for stake only:

Electrad walletpassphrase "strongpassword" 999999999

To check if we are staking the coins, (they need to be 'Mature', which means, they have to be in wallet at least for 24 hours):

Electrad getstakinginfo

Two important info is:

    "enabled" : true,
    "staking" : true,

Now you should get your mined coins to your wallet, check with

Electrad listtransactions

Some more information can be found in official staking guide:

Happy staking
