Steps to Run a Full Node

Download gsys_mainnet.json and static-nodes.json from https://github.com/Gchainvalidators/poa-chain

wget  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gchainvalidators/poa-chain/master/gsys_mainnet.json
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gchainvalidators/poa-chain/master/static-nodes.json
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gchainvalidators/poa-chain/master/geth

Make node folder

mkdir node

Initialize the Node 

./geth --datadir ./node init gsys_mainnet.json

Copy the static-nodes.json to node/geth

Run the Nodes

./geth --datadir node --syncmode 'full' --gcmode=archive --port 40605 --http --http.port 3545 --http.api 'personal,eth,net,web3,personal,admin,miner,txpool,debug' --bootnodes enode://c8ecb64c00a1e94eb47a997d62a14f07cc0dd6dac41a1b3a062a383b978dd87ab639c64db07c00d70e9a9c8af2c204e9220b349dc684394f44044f51def904ce@103.42.59.71:0?discport=40606 --networkid 16507 --allow-insecure-unlock
