# Baldur to Heimdall

If you were running a validator node on the Baldur testnet, and need to move it to the new heimdall testnet, follow the steps below;

In the odin-testnet-public-tools/ folder, update your repo by running

```
git pull
```

Start the node with the atart script.  It will download the new docker image, start it, and even sets up port forwarding rules on the host for you.

```
cd node && ./start.sh
```

Verify the node is running.  This command, and the next one, assume you have already set the odin alias.

```
odin status
```

Import your wallet and set the keyring password

```
odin keys add NAME_OF_YOUR_WALLET --recover  
```

You will nees to run a create validator transaction.  Check to make sure your variables are still populated.  If they are not, or are incorrext, update them now;

```
echo $ADDRESS && echo $MONIKER && echo $CHAIN  
```

Set your STAKE variable with your desired amount of loki.

```
export STAKE=10000000loki
```

Pass the variables on to your docker container;

```
docker exec -e STAKE=$STAKE -e ADDRESS=$ADDRESS -e MONIKER=$MONIKER -e CHAIN=$CHAIN -it node /bin/bash
```

Finally, you will run your create validator transaction;

```
bandd tx staking create-validator \
--amount $STAKE \
--commission-max-change-rate 0.01 \
--commission-max-rate 0.2 \
--commission-rate 0.1 \
--from $ADDRESS \
--min-self-delegation 1 \
--moniker $MONIKER \
--pubkey $(bandd tendermint show-validator) \
--chain-id $CHAIN \
--node http://34.77.171.169:26657
```

You should now be able to see your node in odin web, or with query commands.
