+Here is how you install dig on Testnet-3 and setup as a validator.
+
+Remember, replace "`validator_name`" by your desired name in these following steps.
+
+# Clone the repo and install
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/notional-labs/dig
+cd git
+go install ./...
+export PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin
+export GOPATH=~/go
+```
+
+# Set up the dig account
+
+If you don't have a validator yet
+```
+digd keys add validator_name
+digd init validator_name --chain-id dig-testnet-3
+```
+
+If you have a validator, and want to migrate to your new node
+```bash
+# To prevent double signing, you should stop the validator node.
+digd keys add validator_name --recover
+# You will be prompted to type your mnemonic key
+
+# Then, copy content of file `~/.dig/config/priv_validator_key.json` from old machine to new machine, same location.
+```
+
+# Start digging
+
+```bash
+digd init validator_name -o --chain-id dig-testnet-3
+
+wget -O ~/.dig/config/genesis.json https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/QmNMQysuxgQw3JWYyTBuHbw7HyRBbb4L7ShrX6GVRvR2ar
+
+digd keys show validator_name
+# This will show detail of your account. Keep them in safe place.
+
+digd start --p2p.persistent_peers [email protected]:26656,[email protected]:2090
+```
+# For validators
+If you want to check if you are validator or not, run this
+```
+digd keys show validator_name --bech val
+```
+
+If it contains `"digvaloper"`, then you are. If not:
+```bash
+digd tx staking create-validator --moniker=validator_name --from=validator_name --pubkey="$(digd tendermint show-validator)" --amount="1000000udig" --commission-max-rate="0.10" --commission-max-change-rate="0.05" --commission-rate="0.05" --fees 40000udig --gas 500000 --min-self-delegation 1 --chain-id dig-testnet-3
+
+# You can change the params if you like
+```
+You can check your balance with:
+```bash
+digd q bank balances $(digd keys show validator_name -a)
+```
+If you want to delegate:
+```bash
+digd tx staking delegate $(digd keys show validator_name --bech val -a) 50000udig --chain-id dig-testnet-3 --from $(digd keys show validator_name -a)
+
+# You can change the params if you like
+```
+
+Receive rewards:
+```bash
+digd tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(digd keys show --bech=val -a validator_name) --from validator_name --gas-prices 0.25udig
+```
+
+Receive rewards and commission:
+```bash
+digd tx distribution withdraw-rewards $(digd keys show --bech=val -a validator_name) --from validator_name --commission --gas-prices 0.25udig
+```
+
+Check your validator status with:
+```bash
+digd status
+```
+
+if your validator is jailed, try unjailing it with this:
+```bash
+digd tx slashing unjail --from=$(digd keys show validator_name -a) --chain-id dig-testnet-3 --gas-prices 50udig
+# There is some reasons when your account is jailed, and Jacob are going to change in the next build
+```
+
+For RPi users, if you want dig to run in background, create `dig.service` at `/etc/systemd/system/` and edit like this. The parameters are depend on each user, so you can modify to fit your need.

+You can check if it is running or not by:
+```bash
+journalctl -u dig -f | grep height
+```

+This is a guide based on actual install of dig, so some minor errors on the others is inevitable. If you have some problems, create an issue or ask a question in Discord. Thank you!
