World's IP Blockchain

**Innovative Blockchain Solution:** Story introduces a layer 1 blockchain that makes Intellectual Property (IP) "programmable," enabling more efficient licensing, remixing, and monetization of creative works. **Addressing IP Challenges:** The platform tackles existing IP issues, such as costly and time-consuming legal processes, and the challenges posed by the rapid proliferation of AI-generated content. **Key Components:** Story Network combines EVM compatibility with Cosmos SDK, employing a "Proof-of-Creativity" Protocol and Programmable IP License to automate and enforce IP rights on-chain. **Practical Application:** By using Story, creators can easily register and manage their IP, set licensing terms, and automatically distribute revenue from derivative works, making IP management more accessible and scalable. --- ###

___ ### ⚙️ Preparation:

Update System and Install Essential Packages

- **Update the package lists and install required tools:** *Make sure your system is up to date and has all the necessary dependencies installed.* ```bash sudo apt update sudo apt-get update sudo apt install curl git wget htop tmux build-essential jq make lz4 tree gcc unzip -y ```

Create Directories for Binaries

- **Create the required directories to store the Geth and Story binaries:** *Organize your binaries in a structured way to keep your environment clean.* ```bash mkdir -p $HOME/.story/geth/bin $HOME/.story/story/bin ```

### 🛠️ Installation of Binaries:

(geth) Execution Client Setup

- **Download and Install Geth Binary:** *Download the Geth binary, make it executable, and move it to the appropriate directory.* ```bash wget https://storage.crouton.digital/testnet/story/bin/geth chmod +x geth mv geth $HOME/.story/geth/bin/ $HOME/.story/geth/bin/geth version # Expected Output: # Version: 0.10.1-stable # Git Commit: b60a3ba8d47e60a6c78ca0570f7dac66e8976d93 # Git Commit Date: 20241119 ```

(story) Consensus Client Setup

- **Download and Install Story Binary:** *Download the Story binary, make it executable, and move it to the appropriate directory.* ```bash wget https://storage.crouton.digital/testnet/story/bin/story chmod +x story mv story $HOME/.story/story/bin/ $HOME/.story/story/bin/story version # Expected Output: # Version v0.13.0-stable # Git Commit daaa395 # Git Timestamp 2024-11-19T03:59:16Z ```

### 🗂️ Configuration:

Verify Directory Structure

- **Ensure that the binaries are correctly placed in the expected directories:** *Check the structure of the installed binaries to confirm they are in the right locations.* ```bash sudo tree $HOME/.story ``` Expected output: ``` $HOME/.story ├── geth │ └── bin │ └── geth └── story └── bin └── story ```

Add Binaries to PATH

- **Add the Geth and Story binaries to your system's PATH:** *Update the .bashrc file to include the paths to the Geth and Story binaries so they can be run from anywhere.* ```bash echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.story/geth/bin:$HOME/.story/story/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc ```

### 🚀 Launching Services:

Launch Geth Service

- **Set up the Geth node to run as a service with systemd:** *This will ensure that the Geth node runs in the background and starts automatically after system reboots.* ```bash sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/story-geth.service > /dev/null <

Initialize and Launch Story Service

- **Initialize the Story node with your desired network and moniker:** *Set up the initial configuration for your Story node.* ```bash story init --network odyssey --moniker {{ NODE_NAME::MONIKER }} ``` - **Download addrbook:** *An addrbook.json file helps your node connect to other peers in the network. If you experience peering issues, using a good addrbook.json can solve the problem.* ```bash wget -O $HOME/.story/story/config/addrbook.json https://storage.crouton.digital/testnet/story/files/addrbook.json ``` - **Set up the Story node to run as a service with systemd:** *This ensures that the Story node runs in the background and restarts automatically after reboots.* ```bash sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/story.service > /dev/null < ### ♻️ Recover:

Snapshot

``` sudo systemctl stop story story-geth cp $HOME/.story/story/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.story/story/priv_validator_state.json.backup rm -rf $HOME/.story/story/data rm -rf $HOME/.story/geth/odyssey/geth/chaindata curl https://storage.crouton.digital/testnet/story/snapshots/story_latest.tar.lz4 | lz4 -dc - | tar -xf - -C $HOME/.story mv $HOME/.story/story/priv_validator_state.json.backup $HOME/.story/story/data/priv_validator_state.json sudo systemctl start story-geth sudo systemctl start story sudo journalctl -u story -f ```

### ⬆️ Upgrade:

Upgrade story

``` cd $HOME rm -rf story git clone https://github.com/piplabs/story cd story git checkout v0.13.0 go build -o story ./client sudo mv $HOME/story/story $HOME/.story/story/bin/ sudo systemctl restart story && sudo journalctl -u story -f ```

Upgrade story-geth

``` cd $HOME wget https://story-geth-binaries.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/geth-public/geth-linux-amd64-0.9.3-b224fdf.tar.gz tar -xvzf geth-linux-amd64-0.9.3-b224fdf.tar.gz mv geth-linux-amd64-0.9.3-b224fdf/geth $HOME/.story/geth/bin/ rm -rf geth-linux-amd64-0.9.3-b224fdf geth-linux-amd64-0.9.3-b224fdf.tar.gz sudo systemctl restart story-geth ```

### 🗑️ Delete Node

Delete Node
