  --amount 800000uslf \
  --node https://rpc.selfchain.io:26657/ \
  --pubkey $(selfchaind tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker "" \ #Validator name, displayed in explorers.
  --identity "" \ #Use your KeyBase ID. If you don't have one, leave it empty.
  --website "" \ #Any details about your validator.
  --details "" \ #Your website/github etc 
  --chain-id "self-1" \
  --commission-rate "0.05" \
  --commission-max-rate "0.20" \
  --commission-max-change-rate "0.01" \

You can leave the text after # unchanged - it's a commented hint that won't affect validator creation.

◽ Replace the following values with your own: WALLET - usually it's 'wallet', or your wallet's name. MONIKER - any convenient name for your validator, displayed in the explorer. IDENTITY - validator's avatar, displayed in the explorer. Create a KeyBase ID following the instructions or leave it empty, and it will default to a standard one. DETAILS - details about your validator, also displayed in the explorer.

Replace all necessary values indicated above with the $ sign to successfully create your validator. ◽ Example:

selfchaind tx staking create-validator \
  --amount "1000000uself" \
  --pubkey $(selfchaind tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker "Oliver" \ 
  --identity "" \
