# How to join CyberWay for those who are interested in being validators ?

## Quick Reference Guide

If you want to register on the CyberWay network as a validator, you should follow these steps.

## Machine performance requirements

First of all, you need to prepare your machine, which should satisfy the characteristics:

* Disk space amount - (at least) 80 GB;
* RAM memory - 8 GB (16 - recommended)
* CPU High Clock Speed 4+ Cores  

One of the following operating systems should be installed on your machine :

* Ubuntu (versions recommended: 16.04 or 18.04);
* MacOS Darwin 10.12 (or later);
* Centos 7;
* Fedora 25 (or advanced);
* Mint 18.

Also, the following software must be installed on the machine :

* docker;
* docker-compose.  

## Actions to be taken

**Step\_1** Create a workspace and execute the commands:

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/cyberway/cyberway.launch
$ cd cyberway.launch
$ sudo ./start_light.sh
```

Check that

* the configuration file has been moved to `/etc/cyberway/config.ini` 
* the contents of Golos application directory has been moved to `/var/lib/cyberway`.  

**Step\_2**\
Specify yours’ account name and both public and private keys in the configuration file `config.ini`. You can specify the keys that you received during registration, or generate new ones by executing

```bash
$ cleos wallet create_key
```

Edit variables in the `config.ini` file:

```
signature-provider=<GLS7  … >=KEY:5j****
producer-name=<account name>
```

Run the commands:

```bash
$ sudo dockerexec -ti nodeosd /bin/bash
$ cleos wallet create --to-console
$ cleos wallet import --private-key <active-key>
```

**Step\_3**\
The validator candidate stake must be at least 50 000.0000 CYBER tokens. To set the minimum stake, run the command:

```bash
$ cleos push action cyber.stake setminstaked '{"account" : "<account name>", "token_code" : "CYBER", "min_own_staked" : 500000000}' -p <account name>
```

The parameter `min_own_staked` is a minimum amount of CYBER tokens required to become a validator.

**Step\_4** Activate your keys:

```bash
$ cleos push action cyber.stake setkey '{"account":"<account name>", "token_code":"CYBER", "signing_key":"<  … >"}' -p <account name>
```

**Step\_5**\
If the user has not previously been a validator in the blockchain, then he/she needs to set zero proxy level:

```bash
$ cleos push action cyber.stake setproxylvl '{"account" : "<account name>", "token_code" : "CYBER", "level" : 0}' -p <account name>
```

Нaving successfully completed the above steps you become a candidate for validators.
