-## Participating in VKAX Test Net
-Ubuntu is an open source operating system which is easy to use for end users, but still powerful and stable enough to be used as a full time server. 
-
-<br/>
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> Failure to follow instructions may result in an incorrect build! The order of commands is important, please ensure you review each step.
-<br/>
-
-### Getting Ubuntu 
-To participate in the VKAX Test Net you will need to get a [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/) system operational - either locally or with a cloud service. 
-
-Ubuntu is very powerful and lightweight, meaning you can run an entire operating system with only 1 cpu core and less than 1 gig of ram.
-
-Some local examples include, a rasberry pi, old hardware like a laptop or an unused pc - or even from within your main PC using [virtualbox](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+install+ubuntu+on+virtual+box) or [vmware workstation](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+install+ubuntu+on+vmware+workstation). 
-
-If you do not have any hardware resources available or you want to run multiple nodes, there is a [**list of services which offer free trials or an always free option**](https://linktr.ee/setvin) for each individual.
-
-<br/>
-
-### Install Dependencies
-Before proceeding to do anything, we must first install the relevant dependencies. **Copy and paste** the following code into a terminal console on Ubuntu 
-(Press the **button on the right** of the code block, or press **CTRL + C** to copy and then **CTRL + V** to paste) 
-```
-sudo apt-get install curl build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config python3 bsdmainutils bison nohang &&
-sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
-```
-<br/>
-
-### Create VKAX User
-Run the below commands in a terminal console one at a time. We will need to create a new **User** to run the daemon. 
-(You can give it any password or press **enter** to skip.)
-```
-sudo adduser vkax-test
-```
-**Login** as the VKAX user
-```
-sudo su vkax-test
-```
-<br/>
-
-### Make the Daemon (Node)
-After installing the prerequisites and becoming the vkax-test user, we can **build the daemon from source**
-```
-cd &&
-git clone https://github.com/realsetvin/vkax &&
-cd vkax/depends/ &&
-chmod +x conf* &&
-make &&
-cd .. &&
-./autogen.sh &&
-./configure --disable-tests –disable-bench --without-gui --prefix=$PWD/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/ &&
-make
-```
-<br/>
-
-**Clean** up the build files
-```
-mkdkir /.vkax/
-mv ~/vkax/src/vkax-cli ~/vkax/src/vkaxd /.vkax/
-rm -r ~/vkax/
-```
-<br/>
-
-**Exit** as the vkax-test user
-```
-exit
-```
-<br/>
-<br/>
-
-
-### Starting the Daemon
-Using **`systemd`** we can create a service which starts the VKAX daemon on boot, and restarts it after a crash
-<br/>
-<br/>
-
-Become a "**Super User**"
-```
-sudo su
-```
-
-**Create** and **Enable** the systemd service
-```
-sudo touch /etc/systemd/system/vkax-test.service
-sudo echo -e "[Unit]\nDescription=vkax test daemon control service\n\n[Service]\nType=forking\nRestart=on-failure\nRestartSec=50s\nExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 5\nWorkingDirectory=/home/vkax-test/.vkaxcore/\nExecStart=/home/vkax-test/.vkaxcore/vkaxd\nRemainAfterExit=yes\n\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target" >> /etc/systemd/system/vkax-test.service
-sudo systemctl enable vkax-test
-```
-<br/>
-
-**Reboot** for changes to take affect
-```
-sudo reboot
-```
-<br/>
-
-We can **Watch** the **Status** of our daemon at any time with the following command
-```
-watch systemctl status vkax-test
-```
