🚨 Maintenance
Get validator info
gaiad status 2>&1 | jq .ValidatorInfo
Get sync info
gaiad status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo
Get node peer
echo $(gaiad comet show-node-id)'@'$(curl -4s ifconfig.me)':'$(cat $HOME/.gaia/config/config.toml | sed -n '/Address to listen for incoming connection/{n;p;}' | sed 's/.*://; s/".*//')
Check if validator key is correct
[[ $(gaiad q staking validator $(gaiad keys show wallet --bech val -a) -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(gaiad status | jq -r .ValidatorInfo.PubKey.value) ]] && echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[32mTrue\e[0m\n" || echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[31mFalse\e[0m\n"
Get live peers
curl -sS http://localhost:13457/net_info | jq -r '.result.peers[] | "\(.node_info.id)@\(.remote_ip):\(.node_info.listen_addr)"' | awk -F ':' '{print $1":"$(NF)}'
Set minimum gas price
sed -i -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.005uatom\"/" $HOME/.gaia/config/app.toml
Enable prometheus

Reset chain data
gaiad comet unsafe-reset-all --keep-addr-book --home $HOME/.gaia --keep-addr-book
Remove node
Please, before proceeding with the next step! All chain data will be lost! Make sure you have backed up your priv_validator_key.json!
