Upload gentx.json Copy the contents of the above command into a commit at https://github.com/ingenuity-build/mainnet in the gentx folder. Name the file with your validator moniker (figment.json, witval.json, etc.) so we can contact you in the event of a problem. If your gentx is invalid and your file is not appropriately named you may miss out on genesis!
