Nice ! Like your long term view.
One question … does validators also get staking rewards ?
Validators do get the same rewards as a delegator plus the commision from anyone who delegates to them.

Correct explanation. For anyone else who would like a more detailed explanation, do refer to the medium article mentioned above.
Great outlook. @Blanko @wolfpack64 @Superbit123, if you have any doubts with regards to why we are implementing the 21 days lockout period, you may refer to this medium article: Function X Mainnet launch | How to participate the governance as a delegator | Pundi AI. Essentially what we do not want is people gaming the system or bad actors, which is why we put such measures in place. This ensures the security of our system.

Didn’t had time to check carefully, docker is sync, but fxcore seems is not OK, and commands are not working
did you run:
curl localhost:26657/status
seems like your fxcore is running and its also synced up
If are running in docker … you will not be able execute fxcored commands on your local system. Either u need to issue that command to docker container or you can call apis to that container on specified port.
My test node is up in aws cloud. Took around 10 hrs to sync .4 M blocks.
Now going through setting up validator. It’s little confusing … might take some time.
If i have the needed amount of FX to become a validator but i don’t have the hardware, is there any way to become a validator? Is there like a third-party hardware provider?
Yes thats the problem. tried directly to docker but gives me permissions errors
i will take a look into it
this thread is for Testnet validator setup. if you are referring to mainnet, you may delegate your FX to one of the validators, kindly refer to this link Function X Mainnet launch | How to participate the governance as a delegator | Pundi AI
I am trying get some test fx and the tutorial mentioned in the medium article does not work.
https://functionx.gitbook.io/home/resourcess/testnet-fxwallet
I installed the fx wallet beta version from the link but it seems it does not have any FX-TEST asset. What am I missing ?
yes, faucet is not working
I apreciate some fx in this address fx1jrreap4qnpek3c98v22sgzkeg2s983mgtut8fa thank you
have you solved it? I’m the same
What we put in name? And the Decimals are confusing 
fxcored tx staking create-validator
–chain-id=fxcore
–gas=“auto”
–gas-adjustment=1.2
–gas-prices=“6000000000000FX”
–from=ClaudioXBarros
–amount=1000000000000000000000FX
–pubkey=$(fxcored tendermint show-validator)
–moniker=“ClaudioXBarros "
–commission-rate=“0.02”
–commission-max-rate=“0.2”
–commission-max-change-rate=“0.01”
–min-self-delegation=“1000000000000000000”
–moniker=“ClaudioxBarros”
–website=”@ClaudioxBarros"
–details=“To infinity and beyond!”
From is like this? And amount for 1000fx as example?
Problem is golang. Try to install again
if you have your gitbook opened and havent yet refreshed it, kindly do so, I have amended some of the instructions so that it is clearer. the “from” is the same as <_name> when you first created your account. do you have that <_name>?
i have just given you some test FX.
Under settings have you configured your network for f(x)core to Testnet?
