Dear Centrifuge Community, i hope you are all doing well, i am monitoring the crypto markets for a long time, but found all these promising, future crypto/defi web3.0 projects, i ve choosen centrifuge today in the morning, and bought and installed a validator node on OnFinality for 0.30$ an hour, what should i do know…wich rewards cfg tokens will i get for running the validator node, etc., i like this idea to be a part of something technically useful, wich right now not too much people know…like being an “early” adopter…so the question is, what i ve to do, after setting up my node and what to do, to let the validator work right? ---

Do you know what happens if somehow your validator node malfunctions while it’s in the active set? ---

Hi Centrikz. Congratulations for setting up a node. Now you should present your Validator node in the Validator discussion of the forum and tell the community a little bit about your node and how they can reach you in case of questions. Examples: Centrifuge chain address of your node Social media channels: Twitter, Telegram, Medium, Discord Other contact: Email-address or website ---

i think nothing well, tell me more, if you like, my friend. ---

and now what do you want, do you want to help, do you want me to avoid me using centrifuge? ---

No, @Ritskes wants to help you and provide you with information on running a node (and with its liabilities) [https://gov.centrifuge.io/t/slashing-percentages/2723](https://gov.centrifuge.io/t/slashing-percentages/2723) This questions will come from nominators who want to stake with your node ---

Wow, than i am sorry, i ve stopped my node running, because its not connected via polkadot ext.etc,etc…thanks to all your help guys…i think i will go through all the documentation before trying again. ---

You can still let your node running and monitor it how it behaves before you start with collecting nominations. Polkadot Telemetry is a good tracking site [https://telemetry.polkadot.io/#list/0x67dddf2673b69e5f875f6f25277495834398eafd67f492e09f3f3345e003d1b5](https://telemetry.polkadot.io/#list/0x67dddf2673b69e5f875f6f25277495834398eafd67f492e09f3f3345e003d1b5) ---

Everyone who want to use or be part of CFG community is welcome, more than welcome 🙂 It’s just that running a node comes with A LOT of responsibility, because if you don’t know what you’re doing running a node you might jeopardize people’s CFG stash and potentially the CFG chain/community. I apologize for sounding a bit harsh, it’s just something I think is very important.
