How to stake Electra coin in Linux

Hello guys,

today I would write short article for advanced users, how to stake Electra coin (basically any POS coin) in linux, ubuntu in VPS.

• First, install Electra to your server (be sure you got pre-requisites):

git clone https://github.com/electra01/Electra.git
cd Electra/src
make -f makefile.unix 
sudo cp ./Electrad /usr/local/bin
Electrad -deamon

• Then we need to create config file, as Electra neeed:

nano  ~/.Electra/Electra.conf

contents:
rpcuser=WriteHereYourUserName
rpcpassword=WriteHereYourPassword

• We need to start daemon, co we can encrypt wallet:

Electrad -daemon

• It is good, if we encrypt our wallet with strong password, Electra will quit, so we start it again

Electrad encryptwallet "strongpassword"
Electrad -daemon

• Next step is to create deposit address and transfer Electra coin there:

Electrad getaccountaddress 0

• we have to wait for blockchain synced, we can get latest block in some block explorer, I used https://cryptobe.com/chain/Electra, to see which block is syncing we can type and look for "blocks" info:

Electrad getinfo

• To be sure, transaction was successful and synced type:

Electrad listtransactions

• Ok, we have some coins now in wallet, let's stake them by unlocking wallet for stake only:

Electrad walletpassphrase "strongpassword" 999999999

• To check if we are staking the coins, (they need to be 'Mature', which means, they have to be in wallet at least for 24 hours):

Electrad getstakinginfo

• Two important info is:

    "enabled" : true,
    "staking" : true,

• Now you should get your mined coins to your wallet, check with

Electrad listtransactions

Some more information can be found in official staking guide:
