RecordsKeeper Mainnet
For Mainnet when your node gets connected, you will receive the permissions to connect, send and receive. To get the permissions to mine at you node follow the steps mentioned below:
Step 1: Look for your default XRK address from the command given below, which will display your node’s wallet address. This address is your “default XRK address” or “public address” of the Recordskeeper Blockchain in which you will receive XRK coins. To check the address, run the following command:

Addition Steps and Information
You can retrieve your private key from the node. To retrieve private key for your node address run this command:
./rk-cli recordskeeper dumpprivkey {default_XRK_address} #(for Mac Users)
Note
Please store this private key safely, losing this will result in loss of XRK coins.
After completing the above process, you can check for your node’s information (best block and synced block) by running following commands:
rk-cli recordskeeper getblockchaininfo #(for best block)
./rk-cli recordskeeper getblockchaininfo #(for Mac Users)
Your node will sync up to the best block, and then only your node can start mining and your balance will get updated with the mined XRK coins.
If you have already created a wallet address and you want to add it as your miner address then run this command from the command line terminal:
./rk-cli recordskeeper importaddress {address} #(for Mac Users)
./rk-cli recordskeeper importprivkey {private_key} #(for Mac Users)
Then you can follow the above steps to get the mining permissions for the imported address.
