To prevent any negative impact on the node's reputation, it's advisable to wait until the end of the Epoch (~24h) before shutting down the node when opting out. The same applies to nodes that have opted-in but are currently offline.

To learn more, read the Lightning-CLI section for command opt.

tip

Shutting down a Node after an Epoch can be tedious, given the remaining time an Epoch can take to end. Doing it prematurely, will cause reputation penalties, e.g. shutting down before the participation state change to offline. Therefore, a shutdown utility is available in the Tools menu option of get.fleek.network.

To access it, execute the command:

curl https://get.fleek.network | bash

Restart

sudo systemctl restart lightning
