A command prompt will open. Input your wallet address and press Enter. The installation will take about 20 seconds. You will see logs of the deployment results.
Make sure to use your whitelisted wallet address to ensure node deployment success and avoid missing out on SXP.
If you see logs scrolling continuously, your node is running successfully.
You can find the node ID in the watchdog-run\run\oninstance5/peerinfo file by opening it with a text editor.
To stop the node, simply close all active command prompt windows.
To update your WatchDog node to a new version, follow these steps:
Stop the node.
Download the latest installation file: Obtain the latest file from the download link and unzip it.
Replace the executable: Replace the watchdog_p2p.exe file in the original folder with the latest one.
Maintain the original directory: If you run the node from a new directory other than the original one, it will create a new node ID. Points will be accrued with this new ID, but previous points will remain valid under the original node ID.
Run the node: Double-click the start-watchdog.bat file and enter your wallet address.
After finishing the installation, interact with our auto-reply bot on the SendingMe app to check your node's stats. SendingMe is an all-in-one web3 instant messaging app built on top of SendingNetwork. Refer to Check Node Stats with Auto-Reply Bot in SendingMe for instructions on utilizing the bot to monitor your node's performance.
