echo $(penumbra_cometbft tendermint show-node-id)'@'$(curl -s ifconfig.me)':'$(cat .penumbra/testnet_data/node0/cometbft/config/config.toml | sed -n '/Address to listen for incoming connection/{n;p;}' | sed 's/.*://; s/".*//')

Check if validator key is correct

[[ $(penumbra_cometbft q staking validator $(penumbra_cometbft keys show wallet --bech val -a) -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(penumbra_cometbft 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"
