now ... how do I know I'm on the correct chain?
In the console, type the commands "getinfo", and "getcheckpoint". Compare the block height of both commands, they should be the same or nearly the same.
Or compare your blocks with the blocks from the explorer.
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/hbn/If you staking block are the same as in the explorer, you are on the right chain.

So if I type getinfo and see "blocks" : 5667899
and type getcheckpoint and see "height" : 5667899,
and go to
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/hbn/ and see block height 5667899
I'm good! So ... any news on Cryptopia exchange
Or H2C pool coming back online?
