In this tutorial i recomended using Contabo (choose the NVME DISK!) and Vultr (SSD okay, but better NVME) for most of my testnet (also for some mainnet nodes).

Why i'm not recomend the SSD Disk? Sometimes you may got out of sync. I've test it on nvme disk and it's good (till now when i write this article).

========

Part 1. Make your custom vanity address

Go to https://nanoaddr.io/ insert any character / words you want. but please not more character are hard to find (need very looong time to wait). i'll use simple 1-4 word as it's just need a few minutes to find the address. Click generate to start search your vanity address.

After few minutes you may got some address with prefix or suffix you're searching.

1. words searched.

2. suffixx we got (or it may prefix)

3. download the seed key data

4. show qr code, you can scan this with your BIOTA wallet for importing this address.

Make sure you're backing up the address and seed data. we'll need it.

**The xrb_ will be replaced to paw_ if you're import the seed on Paw network (same as on nano (nano_) / banano (ban_) / raicoin (rai_) or any other nano forks).

Part 2. Paw Tribes Installation

Prepare your vps, and connect to your vps using putty or termius (or any other ssh client you like).

update vps first

sudo apt-get update

install dependencies

sudo apt-get install wget jq screen curl

get paw latest binary data

curl -s -L https://github.com/paw-digital/paw-node/releases/latest/download/linux-paw_node > paw_node

chmod +x paw_node

create paw dir

mkdir Paw

run paw binary once, then exit

./paw_node --daemon

use CTRL+C to exit paw binary

get default configuration

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pramonoutomo/pawNodeInstall/main/config_default.sh

bash config_default.sh

create new screen.

screen -S paw

download blockchain ledger

go to https://ledger.paw.digital/ , you may see database list, choose the latest version (it's updated daily)

we'll remove the old ledger (if there is any)

rm Paw/data.ldb

then get the ledger file from the paw website

curl -s -L https://ledger.paw.digital/data-<DATE_FILE_LEDGER>.ldb > Paw/data.ldb

**change the <DATE_FILE_LEDGER> with the latest ledger file date name

run Paw binary

./paw_node --daemon

use CTRL+A+D to exit screen but keep paw node running.

Import your seed to your nodes.

curl -g -d '{ "action": "wallet_create", "seed": "CHANGE_WITH_YOUR_SEED"}' 'localhost:9999'

Please change your CHANGE_WITH_YOUR_SEED to your own generated seed from Part 1.

=======

Part 3. Registering Your Tribes

Go to https://tribes.paw.digital , login with any social media account.

Connect new Paw Account. (you'll need to send 1 PAW to the address using the address you're registering.). So You need to import your seed from Part 1 to Biome (https://wallet.paw.digital) or Biota (mobile wallet). fill it with 1 PAW (only 1 PAW needed), then using that address to send 1 PAW to the requested address to connect your paw account.

After connected, you can click your address, and you'll redirected into links somekind like: https://tribes.paw.digital/account/paw_1youraddress_registered_here_to_the_tribes_website

Click on Edit account button, and fill all your paw tribes data, if you're sending rewards, you need to add rewards information on the forms.

Last step, change your tribes delegator to your own tribes address. and add more delegation USING OTHER WALLET.
you'll need delegation more than 0.01% of the total supply (3.4M PAW) to earn tribes rewards (it may change in the future, you can check here for details: https://paw.digital/rewards) .

And if you need automatic sending your rewards to all delegator you can DM me, i'll help you setting it up using wisetribe website :)
