Nym Validator

The Nym Validator has several jobs:

use Tendermint (v0.33.0) to maintain a total global ordering of incoming transactions
rewards + stake slashing based quality of service measurements for mixnet nodes (aka "mixmining")
generate Coconut credentials and ensure they're not double spent
maintain a decentralized directory of all Nym nodes that have staked into the system

Some of these functions may be moved away to their own node types in the future, for example to increase scalability or performance. At the moment, we'd like to keep deployments simple, so they're all in the validator node.

Running the validator on your local machine

Download and install Tendermint 0.32.7
tendermint init sets up Tendermint for use
tendermint node runs Tendermint. You'll get errors until you run the Nym validator, this is normal :).
cp sample-configs/validator-config.toml.sample sample-configs/validator-config.toml
cargo run -- run --config ../sample-configs/validator-config.toml builds the Nym Validator and runs it
