I have a config.ini file, my problem is that I think I have a node up and running but its not showing up as being 'active' node so there is something amiss. The Node is up and syncing actively each block so I am curious if my config file is off or something

What do you mean by active? Like not showing your version for the witness? That doesn’t populate until you produce your first block.

oh.. so this being blank for my node is normal then? well shoot lol I may have been stressing over nothing than :)

Yup! That number doesn’t populate until you produce your first block and when you upgrade your node version, it won’t update until you produce a block with the new code. Until then, get some more votes(more weight voting for you = producing blocks more often).

And you might want to setup a pricefeed.

yeah Price Feed was the next thing I was going to tackle once I sorted out why my version and such were not populating. But now that I know what I know.. price feed it is.

Thank you!

Yw! Best of luck on your witness journey.

My biggest struggle has been finding reliable up to date instructions and not just "hey this new thing came out so do this or that". but a full guide, which is partially what I want to write once I can know for sure I set my own node up properly haha Catch 22 and all :)
