# Steps to run a new validator on porcini

* Create a new account on portal (validator account)

https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fporcini.au.rootnet.app%2Fws#/accounts
Save the private key

* Bond the account. Use same controller account. Before bonding make sure that providers in System.account storage is not 0. Fund the validator account with enough ROOT and XRP token to change the provider to 1.


* Execute validate extrinsic

* Use this branch and generate a node key

 subkey generate-node-key

Expected result like this

12D3KooWGkph2NTuDCBgYg7Es5aLH1mPaNj9znCGYkShUZfxxxxx
9eaf5cc1630cdd6269e7546288c35164a8ae3efe13a7d032ec5xxxxxxxxxxxxx

* Start your node

export NODE_NAME=validator-6 # can be any string, this will show on the Telemetry

export NODE_KEY=9eaf5cc1630cdd6269e7546288c35164a8ae3efe13a7d032ec5xxxxxxxxxxxxx # copy from the previous cmd result

docker-compose up

this will start the node at endpoint - ws://127.0.0.1:9904/

* Open polkadot apps at this endpoint and get the rotatekeys

* Open another tab and connect it to porcini and execute this extrinsic from the validator account using the rotate key from above.

* Check if you see the node on telemetry - https://telemetry.rootnet.app/#list/0x83959f7f4262762f7599c2fa48b418b7e102f92c81fab9e6ef22ab379abdb72f

* To add logs modify docker comose in
