Prerequisites: You need to have git installed on your machine:

* Go to the link https://github.com/bengtlofgren/JoinNetwork
* Clone the repo by calling
`git clone https://github.com/bengtlofgren/JoinNetwork.git`
* `cd JoinNetwork`
* Run `./join-network.sh`

### STOP! If you are on a mac

sudo spctl --master-disable

This allows us to ignore the 'unverified developer' prompt

## Answering the script’s prompts

Enter the chain-id : `internal-devnet-69a.634a44e7fe`
Do you have the namada binaries installed? : `n`
What version?: `0.19.0`
Would you like to add these binaries to path permanently?: `y`
Enter your password when prompted (not a virus I promise)
Do you have a custom base directory you would like to use?: `n`
Are you a genesis validator?: `n`
Cometbft binaries not found, would you like to install them? : `y`

## Installing namada - checking version

It is always best practice to check that the version you have installed on path is the correct one:

Run: namada --version

Expected output: `v0.19.0` ✅

Namada full-node directory structure

Namada full-node configuration files are located in:
Linux:

`~/.local/share/namada`

Mac

`~/Library/Application Support/Namada`

Here you can find the $CHAIN-ID folder with this specific configuration

## Implicit vs. Established account

Implicit
* Derived from a keypair
* Subject to a fixed validation logic
* Must reveal the public key to allow signature verification

Established
* Must be created on-chain (init-account transaction)
* Address is unknown until transaction is executed
* Can set a custom validation logic

## Get some funds from the faucet! (do this several times, you'll need funds in order to perform actions!

`namada client transfer --source faucet --target YOUR-EST-ALIAS --token nam --amount 1000 --signer YOUR-EST-ALIAS`

Check your updated balance:

`namada client balance --owner YOUR-EST-ALIAS --token nam`

## Lets stake some nam!

Check the list of validators

`namada client bonded-stake`

Choose one validator address and bond some nam

`namada client bond --source YOUR-EST-ALIAS --validator VALIDATOR-ADDRESS --amount 1000`

Query your delegation

`namada client bonds --owner YOUR-EST-ALIAS`

## Seeing your MASP (Shielded) keys in the wallet:

`namada wallet masp list-keys`

Generate a payment address

`namada wallet masp gen-addr --alias YOUR-PA-MASP-ALIAS --key alice-masp`

Verify in the wallet

`namada wallet masp list-addrs`

## Shield some tokens!

Run the following

`namada client transfer --source alice --token nam --amount 70 --target YOUR-PA-MASP-ALIAS --signer alice`

Check the updated transparent balance

`namada client balance --owner alice --token nam `

Shielded Transfers

`namada client balance --owner YOUR-MASP-PAYMENT-ADDRESS --token nam`

## Send some tokens to a partner

`namada client transfer --source alice-masp --token nam --amount 15 --target TARGET --signer alice`

## Governance - Query proposals

Let’s check if there are any active proposals:

`namada client query-proposal`

We can check what a specific proposal is about

`namada client query-proposal --proposal-id 0`

Let’s try to vote it!

`namada client vote-proposal --proposal-id 0 --vote yay / nay --signer YOUR-EST-ALIAS`
