Run avalon node as a leader

Once the avalon node sync completely, Now we can setup the leader node by executing the follwing command.

Generate leader key,

docker exec avalon node src/cli key > leader-key.json

Enter your newly generated leader public/private key here

Restart the avalon node,

./avalon.sh restart

Enable avalon node as a leader node,

docker exec avalon node src/cli enable-node YOUR_LEADER_PUB_KEY -M YOUR_USERNAME -K YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY

This transaction must be signed with your master key, or a custom key that allows this transaction. Once this step is done, you can head to the leader election page and vote yourself. If your leader key is properly associated to your account, you should see yourself uncrossed.

Once enough votes for your account come in, and you reach the top leaders, your node will start regularly mining blocks.
