Trying to set up Dell Poweredge r720

I followed all the steps in the guide (used bootable USB) but after I booted I don’t seem to be farming anything. Is there something I am supposed to do to set up the PCIE SSD’s? Here are some pictures of my setup and also a picture of what I get on my screen.

You’re setup and screen looks just fine. This is what you’re supposed to see. Farming payout to your wallet of the current month (till the last day of that month) is usually between 5th and 8th of the following month. It only shows up in your wallet.

So is this what I should be seeing for 3x 2gb SSDs, 384GB RAM, Processors: 2x (2.7 GHz) 12-Core Intel Xeon? Sorry I am brand new to this just wanna make sure I did everything correctly.

Looks fine. It just shows what zeroOS is reserving. In the Dashboard looking up your farm you should see all your specs as well, but it looks fine.

PS. Glad you’re part of it now :wink:

Indeed you appear to have setup your node correctly ill explain a bit more though for thoroughness, your node is now generating rewards automatically, those rewards are dispersed around the 7th of each month because this is still a manual process due to blockchain limitations, from my understanding, this is one of the major discussions around bridging to other chains.

the reason your nodes appear to be doing nothing is because it is. your node is now apart of a larger network of nodes that anyone can deploy on demand vms on, at any time. so until that happens this is what you will see. but your earning rewards as long as you have that screen. You can press (alt+f2) to view the console to look for any possible errors and the best verification tool is to go to play.grid.tf and manually deploy a small vm. if it works properly you know your golden. (alt+f3 returns to main screen, Alt+f1 is the boot console)

I and @FLnelson cover alot of this in the videos here,

I still have no received my payout for September. Did they not happen, or am I set up wrong?

I have been online since I started this thread last month. I am wondering if I have something set up wrong. So if I remember correctly when I set it up I created my first wallet/farm on polkadot and then decided to cancel that and create one using the connect app. I am not sure if during this process I messed something up. I now have 2 farms that I can look up. Granted the first one is offline and just there. (Can I delete this somehow? Or do I even need to?) Here are some pictures that hopefully will help.

This picture is my 2 farms. The first is the inactive one and the second is the one I created using the ThreeFoldConnect app.





This is my wallet that is connected to my active farm.


When I click receive the Stellar address matches the payout on ThreefoldJayMix1




Here is my polkadot from chrome. This wallet is from the first inactive farm. Should I also have the wallet I created on the ThreefoldConnect app on here?

When I use TFDashboard website it says it is active. Both in portal and when I look up the node on system tab. Says active 4 weeks 1 day.

Thank you anyone for taking the time to read this. Wasn’t sure if I should create a new post or just use my old one. Will try this first. Happy farming!

Everything looks good based on what you showed and described. Minting payouts are just running behind this month due to some enhancements we’re implementing and running through some extra testing.

The wallets not matching across your app and Polkadot extension is normal. These are separate, unless you actively import wallets from one into another.

Perfect. Just the answer I was looking for!

Thank you
