Proxy Validator
Enrolling as a Proxy Validator is easy. Simply head over to the Validator page of the Coiin Console, and click Enroll Proxy Validator to start automatically signing of ongoing verification events on the network.
Independent Validator
To run your own Independent Validator, download the Raiinmaker Network Validator app for your desktop* or mobile OS from the Validator Nodes page. For desktop installations, once you’ve run the installer, copy the Public Key generated and paste that into the Public Key field on the Validator Nodes page and click Register.
Need to uninstall the Raiinmaker Network Validator app? Simply open the app and choose the Uninstall option. Be sure to deregister your independent node Public Key from your Coiin Console account on the Validator Nodes page.
*If running the validator on a Virtual Machine (VM) or if you wish to run the script manually, follow these Independent Validator setup instructions. Download the script and run it as a cronjob no more than every 30 minutes.
Add Identity Factors
Under the Account page in Coiin Console, you can add additional Identity Factors. These Factors improve your Reputation score on the network and increase your share of Coiin Rewards minted every lunar cycle.
