help needed for Node Rewards problem.

Support
1

Hello . I am new to Autonomi and need help with an error message about the Node Rewards Program. I signed up for it when I established my first node but there seems to be a problem.

At antnode I see a message that says (in part)

URGENT. Running a node on an external hard drive on MacBook Air, system 15.2. Have some questions.

(A) Clicking on antnode gives following message

The application panicked (crashed).
–rewards-address not provided ( I have the address)
Backtrace omitted. Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display it.
Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=full to include source snippets.

Saving session…
…copying shared history…
…saving history…truncating history files…
…completed.

How to correct t this? I don’t know any Terminal coding.

When I was signing up, I followed instructions on the step-by-step guide to join Node Rewards Program. But something seems to have gone wrong.

(B). Entered my Metamask address. It has numbers, lower case letters, capital letters and n umbers. But when it shows up on the Terminal node launchpad, all letters are lower case. Is this a problem ?

Many thanks.

Welcome @BrkThru

You will be OK with your address.

The use of both uppercase and lowercase letters in the hexadecimal string you provided is a common convention, and it serves a specific purpose.

In hexadecimal encoding, the letters A-F can be used to represent the values 10-15. The convention is to use:

  • Uppercase letters (A-F) to represent the higher hexadecimal digits (10-15)
  • Lowercase letters (a-f) to represent the lower hexadecimal digits (10-15)

This helps to visually distinguish the different parts of the hexadecimal value and make it easier to read and understand. It’s a way to add some visual structure and differentiation within the string of hexadecimal characters.

or thats what Leo told me anyway :slight_smile:

Dont worry about it.

If the address contains both lower/upper-case then there is also a hash of the address to help prevent typing a invalid address.
