WARNING: Superseded -- please edit Node Provider NNS proposals instead!

If you have lost access to your Node Provider Principal, you will need to create a new one and update the NNS.

  1. Go through steps 1-4 on the Node Provider Onboarding page to install the necessary software and create a principal with a Ledger device and the NNS front-end dapp
    • There is no need to create a new Node Operator Key, so long as you still have access to your Node Operator private key/HSM (steps 5-7).
  2. Follow step 8 on the Node Provider Onboarding page to register the principal in the NNS.
    • Create a post on https://forum.dfinity.org/ AND also
    • Add the following explanation to the proposal summary to explain the following:
      • Identify yourself as an existing NP
      • Why you are registering a new principal? -- Please explain the situation with as many details as acceptable to you since you need to convince the community to vote for your proposal.
      • How can they verify that you are who you say you are?
      • Please add a link to the forum post in the proposal summary.
