How shall I replace the current address with a previous address?

First and foremost, please note that the addresses used for running a light node and participating in the Alpha Testnet Campaign can be independent. It is not necessary to unify them.

If you still wish to replace the current address with a previous address or Keplr wallet address, please follow these steps:

1. Delete the selected key

$HOME/nubit-node/bin/nkey delete my_nubit_key -f --node.type light --p2p.network nubit-alphatestnet-1

Replace my_nubit_key with the actual name of the key you wish to delete. We recommend exporting your key and saving it securely before deleting it, so you can restore it later if needed.

1. Import the new key

Make sure the name is my_nubit_key, otherwise, you will fail!

$HOME/nubit-node/bin/nkey add my_nubit_key --recover --keyring-backend test --node.type light --p2p.network nubit-alphatestnet-1

1. List your keys

$HOME/nubit-node/bin/nkey list --p2p.network nubit-alphatestnet-1 --node.type light

List the current keys. Note that when running a light node, only the first key will be used.
