My node shows offline

Run these checks in order. They match the setup check on the micronodes site.

1. Does your node have a wallet?

The app creates it on first launch.

2. Does it have its free Utility NFT?

The app claims it for you once the wallet exists. No wallet means no NFT, so step 1 comes first.

3. Is it staying online?

An hour counts when your node is online for at least 45 minutes of it and your wallet holds its Utility NFT.

• Windows: "Keep node running" is on from the first start. Leave it on.
• Mac: leave the app running. It lives in the menu bar.
• Linux: without a desktop it runs headless. With a desktop, turn on "Start at login" in the dashboard.
• Chrome, Edge or Brave: your node runs while your browser is open.

Before you reinstall anything

Back up your wallet with "Back up wallet" (Windows) or "Back up / restore wallet" (Chrome), so a reinstall keeps the same node.
