I have the same problem, in my case it may be due to having two drives:
Have you checked if you have free space on your drive?
what does it mean when my node is “added” but not “running” ?
What I would say though is… if you intend to participate, and are waiting for an invite, just put your Discord Username from the start when you run nodes. Just so it’s all forwarding.
If you want to hold some back for data, maybe do that on separate machine for just now. We’ll be improving the experince for wallet handling too, so we should get all that ironed out.

Means the directories are set uo, but the node s/w is not yet started/running
Thank you for the reply. I probably have the same issue as you. I have 30GB ready to be used, but maybe the launchpad is not looking at that directory.

I have 30 nodes running on my Windows 11 PC. I was a bit confused as there is nothing in the instructions about starting with CTRL-S
- Hit CTRL-G and then the up arrow to get to 5 nodes. Hit enter.
- Hit CTRL-S to start them
- Hit CTRL-G and then the up arrow to get to 10 nodes. Hit enter
- Hit CTRL-S to start them
… rpt to fade
I see the same thing. I have an m.2 SSD on the Pi 5, but I only see 1GB in the launchpad… I cannot start any nodes this way.
One stupid question: if i close the launchpad window, will all my nodes just disappear forever? this cannot run in background without its own window?
interesting, so u cant start 10 nodes with one time hit?
It seems that more people have a similar problem, I wrote a request to Chriso, maybe we will have to wait and someone will explain what to do.
you can, i guess, but the recommendation is 5, so i stuck to that.
" * Press the up and down arrows to choose the number of nodes you want to start, then Press Enter to start them. We’d recommend you start no more than 5 to begin. Each will use 5GB of storage space, some memory, CPU, and some of your internet connection."
There are no stupid questions. At the bottom of Launchpad you have: Key Commands - [Ctrl+X] Stop all Nodes. Closing the window should not disable the nodes.
No, you can close the window, or quit the terminal, and they will keep on going in the background.
Then just open the launchpad again if you want to see their progress.

is ok to use SSD on this?
- how many memory, cpu, net usage, will take 5 nodes? Some examples from previous testnet? thx
oh thats awesome!
I was worried what happens if i accidently closed it.
Edit: I took a leap of faith and closed it. re-opend and all the nodes were there. nice job guys

We are several ppl to have the same issue I guess.
Then the other way it to use the safenode-manager utility to get things running. Running an update via safeup
safeup node-manager
and then
sudo env "PATH=$PATH" safenode-manager add --node-port 12000 --owner=_citan_
seems to have worked.

5 node - 250-500 and is dynamic but usually closer to 250
10GB disk for chunks and allow extra 30 for logs
cpu depends on device but not too much
about 250-600Kbps
it stayed like this overnight, so I think there is a problem somewhere. On my other machine, my nodes are running. Any idea where it could get stuck?
NO idea
One thing you can do is remove all the nodes (follow instructions in OP of this topic) and try again. Make sure there is plenty of disk space available (at least 5GB per node)
