Installation (full)

Usage examples (full)

New participation key

Initial state:

• No active participation key for the account on the node
• Account has some non zero balance (even 0.05 Algo is OK)
• Account private keys are not stored on the node (GOOD!)
• SSH access to the node :)

Let's generate new participation keys bundle for an account

# goal account addpartkey --address=7THLM2QWR2VOGCLIQGGASSTHV6GBZAB2OMYRCDEQ2K5PXP42YKIAUKLOHM --roundFirstValid=36876865 --roundLastValid=36976865
Please stand by while generating keys. This might take a few minutes...
Participation key generation successful. Participation ID: TB3UFX2DUXSA7W7CDMWRAR4QJRALTXLGA54NPI2SIGD63XPJXX6A

Example output

#> goal account changeonlinestatus -a 7THLM2QWR2VOGCLIQGGASSTHV6GBZAB2OMYRCDEQ2K5PXP42YKIAUKLOHM --online=0 -t - | algourl

TXN type support

algourl utility supports the following transactions

• only participation key registration/deregistration transactions
• unsigned raw MSGPack encoded files only

Ecosystem support

Generated URLs/QRs are ARC-0026 backward compatible but new standard that allows for non-pay transactions is yet to be published

FAQ

Q: Is it safe to use? Is it leaking keys ?

All information encoded into URL is public in nature (public keys) and safe for transport over untrusted medium (as all unsigned transactions are). Data in the URL/QR code contains no more information than written to the public ledger for everyone to see after any key registration transaction.
