Knowledge Node Tutorial

This is your chance to enable your otherwise idle computer to make money for you.

You don’t need high-performance equipment to deploy a Knowledge Node. Your home computer is more than enough.

A Knowledge Node consists of two programs:

1. A daemon process that synchronizes all the latest blocks and transactions in the EpiK Protocol network.

2. A miner that stores files to get mining power and awaits to mint new blocks.

One daemon can serve many miners. As such, you can build one daemon and launch many (Knowledge Nodes) to increase your ROI.

To avoid having your private key being leaked after your Knowledge Node is deployed, you can set the Knowledge Node's Coinbase to another account. That account will receive all the rewards of the Knowledge Node without you having to worry about your private key falling into the wrong hands.

Tips

If you need someone to help you deploy a Knowledge Node, you can ask them to set the Knowledge Node's Coinbase to your wallet address instead of handing over your private key to them.

After the Knowledge Nodes are deployed, you can use the Coinbase feature to manage all Knowledge Nodes in your EPK Wallet.

You can go to the Node tab to manage all Knowledge Nodes related to your current account.

• Locking: all your locking rewards that will start unlocking after seven days and will be unlocked linearly over the course of the next seven days.

• Unlocked: all your unlocked rewards that can be claimed immediately.

• Total Power: the total mining power of all your Knowledge Nodes.

• Total Pledge: the total collateral of all your Knowledge Nodes, namely, the safety and data collaterals.

• Node Pledge: the total safety collateral of all your knowledge nodes.

• Access Pledge: the total data collateral of all your knowledge nodes.

Node Data

You can manage safety collateral of your knowledge nodes in this part.

• Node Count: the total number of all your knowledge nodes.

• Activated Node: the total number of all your knowledge nodes whose mining power is greater than zero.

• Power Deficient: the total number of all your knowledge nodes whose mining power is less than the maximum.

• Wrong Node: the total number of all your knowledge nodes whose safety collateral is not enough.

• Total Pledge: the total number of your knowledge nodes with enough safety collateral.

• My Pledge: the total number of all your knowledge nodes whose safety collateral is staked by yourself.

Access

Here you can manage data collateral of your knowledge nodes in this part.

• Total Access Pledge: the total data collateral of all your knowledge nodes, including pledging, unlocking, and unlocked $AIEPK.

• Pledging: the total pledging data collateral

• Locking: the total data collateral that you request to withdraw

• Remaining Height: the remaining blocks util your locking $AIEPK becomes unlocked

• Unlocked: the total unlocked $AIEPK that you can claim immediately
