Here you are: User Dashboard → Dashboard section → Join BETA 2.0 Group

If you see a message License bought at: under Your wallet details, that means you have successfully purchased a software license for this wallet (check the attached screenshot).

Don’t forget about the 3×1 rule: 1 software license = 1 gateway = 1 wallet. You must have a separate wallet and separate software license for each gateway you want to onboard on the Crankk network.

Upcoming BETA 2.0

By Announcement, Beta, Crankk, News

Here is the announcement everyone has been waiting for!

The BETA 2.0 group will start on August 13th at 18:00 CEST. The purchase of a software license will be possible until the available 1000 places sell out.

The main idea of the BETA 2.0 group is to launch and test 7 new gateway models in addition to the ones already added to the Crankk network. You will still have the opportunity to onboard all currently supported gateways in the BETA 2.0 group, but the main focus should be on the new models.

Upcoming consensus staking

By Announcement, Crankk, News

Dear Crankksters,

We understand that many people are eager to learn about the upcoming consensus staking process. In this article, we will provide an overview of various aspects and offer background information to help you understand the reasoning behind its design.

Consensus nodes play a crucial role in initiating and closing beaconing/witnessing cycles, as well as dispensing rewards once the relevant information is available on the blockchain. This information is encrypted using the public key of the directing consensus node and decrypted using its corresponding private key.

During our ALPHA stage, the manual onboarding was running smoothly on our old server. The main goal of the BETA was to automate and test mass onboarding, but we rushed the process, which resulted in several important steps being missed on our new servers.
