Run the Data Reporter

This section assumes that you have a node and validator running already.

1. Add these lines to the bottom of your .bashrc / .zshrc so that they are automatically loaded in new environments. (If you have a more advanced setup, add them to your start script or .service file) Replace the example REPORTERS_VALIDATOR_ADDRESS with your own 'telorvaloper' prefix address:

export WITHDRAW_FREQUENCY="21600"
export REPORTERS_VALIDATOR_ADDRESS="tellorvaloper1YOUR_TELLORVALOPER_ADDRESS"

1. Sign the create-reporter command. Create-reporter requires that you specify your commission rate and the minimum amount of tokens that others may use when selecting you.

• A commision-rate of 0.02 means that you get 2% of rewards from your selectors.

• A min-tokens-required value of 1000000 prevents spam by requiring that selectors have at least 1 TRB in their wallet. Now, run the command:

# layerd tx reporter create-reporter [commission-rate] [min-tokens-required] [flags]
./layerd tx reporter create-reporter 0.25 1000000 --from YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME --chain-id layertest-3 --fees 10loya --yes

1. Check if your reporter was created successfully:

./layerd query reporter reporters | grep YOUR_TELLOR_ADDRESS

If you see your address in the list, your reporter was created successfully.

Restart your node again, adding flags for turning on the integrated price daemon:

./layerd start --api.enable --api.swagger --price-daemon-enabled=true --panic-on-daemon-failure-enabled=false --key-name YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME --home ~/.layer

To see your report transactions, query the oracle module with the command:

./layerd query oracle get-reportsby-reporter YOUR_TELLOR_ADDRESS

If you see a list of reports, congratulations! You're now a tellor reporter.
