echo $(celestia-appd tendermint show-node-id)'@'$(curl -s ifconfig.me)':'$(cat $HOME/.celestia-app/config/config.toml | sed -n '/Address to listen for incoming connection/{n;p;}' | sed 's/.*://; s/".*//')

Check if validator key is correct

[[ $(celestia-appd q staking validator $(celestia-appd keys show wallet --bech val -a) -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(celestia-appd 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:11657/net_info | jq -r '.result.peers[] | "\(.node_info.id)@\(.remote_ip):\(.node_info.listen_addr)"' | awk -F ':' '{print $1":"$(NF)}'
