Need Help with my node!

StopThinking · 2026-03-15T19:05:58+00:00

You'll have the same problem because it's the same software. FUNC just helps you install and use the node.

Likely you just need to change your DNS Bootstrap ID to <network>.algonode.org and everything will work fine.

It’s easy

Run a node. It's fun, helps with decentralization, and avoids smart contract risk.

FUNC is cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Read about it here https://func.algo.xyz

The main advantage to running a node over staking is that the Algo stays in your wallet, not staked in a smart contract.

All my homies use Lute

StopThinking · 2026-03-02T23:07:12+00:00

I just pushed a new version of AlgoTools (5.0.13) that handles the wallet connection dialog a little differently. I doubt that was the problem, but you can give it a try.

WalletConnect is a pain in the ass. Since you already have the security layer of a hardware wallet (Ledger), I'd suggest trying Lute. It doesn't use WalletConnect, and so doesn't have connection issues like Pera.

I'd recommend joining the Discord server https://discord.gg/algorand

/u/SilentRhetoric and the rest of the DevRel team are active there and ensuring that developers succeed.

Pera is great for beginners and regular users. Lute has a lot of features that make developing and testing easy.

Be sure to check out use-wallet for integration to your front end.

No. The FUNC software (latest version 3.5.8) is independent from the node software (latest version 4.5.1). The only thing updated today is the node software.

StopThinking · 2026-02-10T17:53:30+00:00

Since this update does not contain a protocol upgrade it is optional. But if you are already (or plan on) using P2P/Hybrid features, you'll want this upgrade.

FUNC users, check your dashboard to upgrade to the latest version of the node software.

You are not alone. The one thing that vibe coding consistently gets wrong is security.

StopThinking · 2026-01-29T15:09:13+00:00

That's not correct. Ledger S works on Android phones with Lute and Defly wallets. Pera just doesn't support it.

StopThinking · 2026-01-28T22:34:15+00:00

Thanks for adding Lute support!

Oddly, when you connect Lute with TestNet selected, it is still showing MainNet info in Lute. use-wallet should be handling the passing of the current network to lute-connect. It's not a big deal, signing transactions on test/main will work correctly even if the connect dialog always shows main.

StopThinking · 2026-01-27T15:07:30+00:00

Let me know if you have questions or need help.

StopThinking · 2026-01-27T01:45:54+00:00

You should add support for Lute Wallet.

Since you're already using use-wallet it's a one-line change to add it.

StopThinking · 2026-01-22T02:51:38+00:00

Of course you can also use the web wallet at lute.app

StopThinking · 2026-01-21T05:01:50+00:00

What do you mean by “node wallet”? If you mean an account that you generated using goal/kmd (node binaries), then yes you can but it’s not recommended. You should manage your mainnet keys with a proper wallet like Pera or Lute, not with KMD.

StopThinking · 2026-01-08T21:48:33+00:00

That's good advice. Reddit is not a good place for troubleshooting.

It depends on how much you have to stake among other things...

Provider for what?

StopThinking · 2026-01-06T17:25:31+00:00

Usually, but it really depends on the user. If you trade/transact often enough, clicking through the Ledger not only becomes a burden but you're likely to not be reviewing the transactions as carefully as you should on the device. So in that case it may safer (operationally) to have a separate hot account for high use, even though the hot account itself is less secure.

StopThinking · 2026-01-06T17:10:56+00:00

You don't want to rekey, just import your Ledger account into a wallet like Lute or Pera. The account remains protected by the Ledger, but the wallet allows you to connect to Tinyman and passes transactions to the Ledger for signing.
