But this seems to be the easiest. - First connect MM, and fill in sign up details. Enter this code: SOLE-X0XX for 5% discount - After that, Click on dashboard, Select Nubit and make the payment using CopperX/NowPayment. Both options allow you pay using crypto - After successful payment click go back to mintair and click on "Active Nodes". Click on Show Config and Backup your Private Key & Mnemonic (Seed Phrase). After copy your Node public key and return to Nubit Alpha page (Tagged/Message Above) and paste in step 3 of phase 2 (Wait for 15mins after making payment before doing this) - Farcaster node is also up for running btw, But theirs costs $50/m. I found a cheaper way to do it using ~$10 also (Will post later) N.B: You only need to pay for 1 month, As you only need to run it at least until July 24th ## Publication Information - [Danny0x](https://paragraph.com/@solex0x/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@solex0x/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@solex0x): Subscribe to updates ## Optional - [Collect as NFT](https://paragraph.com/@solex0x/nubit-alpha-testnet): Support the author by collecting this post - [View Collectors](https://paragraph.com/@solex0x/nubit-alpha-testnet/collectors): See who has collected this post
