echelond config keyring-backend file
echelond init <validator_name> --chain-id echelon_3000-3
cd ~/.echelond/config 
sudo mv genesis.json gen.old 
sudo wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/echelonfoundation/ee862f58850fc1b5ee6a6fdccc3130d2/raw/55c2c4ea2fee8a9391d0dc55b2c272adb804054a/genesis.json
cd ~
Setup systemd 
Edit this file:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/echelond.service
Input the below into this file and save it!
[Unit]
Description=Echelon Node
After=network.target
​
[Service]
Type=simple
User=echelon
WorkingDirectory=/home/echelon/.echelond
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/echelond start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=4096
​
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
sudo systemctl start echelond
sudo systemctl status echelond
sudo systemctl enable echelond
Setup wallet (Write this down it is your wallet addy + mnemonic phrase ) 
echelond keys add <keyname> --keyring-backend=file
Check if funds arrived 
echelond query bank balances <echelon1address> --keyring-backend=file
Once funds are sent in, example below is using 1000000 ECH, replace with your validator name, and with your ECH address you just sent to.
Start validator 
echelond tx staking create-validator --amount=1000000000000000000000000aechelon --pubkey=$(echelond tendermint show-validator) --moniker="<validatorname>" --from=<echelon1address> --min-self-delegation="1" --commission-max-change-rate="0.01" --commission-max-rate="0.20" --commission-rate="0.05" --chain-id=echelon_3000-3 --keyring-backend=file
Other Notes
If keyring fails, recover it with
echelond keys add --recover
To watch echelond logs 
sudo journalctl -u echelond -f
