🚨 Maintenance
Get validator info
Copy gaiad status 2>&1 | jq .ValidatorInfo
Get sync info

Check if validator key is correct
Copy [[ $(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
Copy curl -sS http://localhost:14957/net_info | jq -r '.result.peers[] | "\(.node_info.id)@\(.remote_ip):\(.node_info.listen_addr)"' | awk -F ':' '{print $1":"$(NF)}'
Set minimum gas price
Copy sed -i -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.005uatom\"/" $HOME /.gaia/config/app.toml
Enable prometheus
Copy sed -i -e "s/prometheus = false/prometheus = true/" $HOME /.gaia/config/config.toml
Reset chain data
Copy gaiad tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME /.gaia --keep-addr-book
