Two Ethereum wallets are required to run an Ethernity node: a data processor wallet and a result processor wallet.
If you have not done so already, clone the repostiory

ethkey is a tool written in rust coming from the openetherum project. The compiled binary contains modifications that print the checksummed address which is required for configuration.

The value of address is attributed to the ADDRESS variable inside the config file, like this:
ADDRESS=0x451bD91c141aBa49cD2Be184e647dFfd3Dc3B80C
The secret represents the private key and is attributed to the PRIVATE_KEY variable inside the config file, like this:
PRIVATE_KEY=c7ac47a71c2ff61771ee632dc40206e8ea32e6ea183ad1547281476a4d503ce5

Repeating step 2, but this time the value of address is attributed to the RESULT_ADDRESS variable inside the config file, like this:
RESULT_ADDRESS=0x08Bf8b0110D6e39a1099A928336c16D96c42aFe1
The secret represents the private key and is attributed to the RESULT_PRIVATE_KEY variable inside the config file, like this:
RESULT_PRIVATE_KEY=2d2a0b6f41e1ac78321f3acfb721099ca4968a91c4282c47b9318655fdbd5ced
Run the following commands to create the 'config' file with your generated values:
cat << EOF > configADDRESS=0x451bD91c141aBa49cD2Be184e647dFfd3Dc3B80CPRIVATE_KEY=c7ac47a71c2ff61771ee632dc40206e8ea32e6ea183ad1547281476a4d503ce5RESULT_ADDRESS=0x08Bf8b0110D6e39a1099A928336c16D96c42aFe1RESULT_PRIVATE_KEY=2d2a0b6f41e1ac78321f3acfb721099ca4968a91c4282c47b9318655fdbd5cedEOF
The keypairs you are generating represent the identity of your node and you are fully responsible to keep it safe. Do not share this information, or store it unencrypted outside the node configuration.
Various options exist to fund the wallets, depending on the network the Ethernity NODE runs on.
The testnet is using bloxberg as blockchain infrastructure. The bloxberg faucet can be found at:
​https://faucet.bloxberg.org​
Just enter your wallet address (including 0x in front) in the form, fill the captcha and you will receive 0.2 bergs. 0.2 bergs is enough to run a few million transactions.
Do the same for both the ADDRESS and the RESULT_ADDRESS.
