I am running Parity in a Virtual Machine. I have copied VM and trying to run both Parity's parallel in both Virtual Machines. Since their enode is same on both VMs, I cannot run both Parity in parallel. I guess their connection into same node collide.

[Q] I want to update on going Parity's enode. How could I do that, do I need to clean all Parity's memory?

Is there any way to run Parity nodes having same enode-id in parallel?

Please note that: I observe that Parity nodes having same enode-id connected with different account cannot connect into same Ethereum enode node.

Changing or removing the network key changes the enode address:

~/.local/share/io.parity.ethereum/network/key

You could increment the value by one or generate a new one or remove it and parity will take care of that.

  • Is there a way to manually change the key in order to generate a specific enode ID? I accidentally deleted the network key and need to restore my enode ID.

  • I think that's what the --identity flag does, try to play around with this. But you can also set the network key value to anything you like.

  • I will look at --identity but are you suggesting that the network key is the same as the enode ID? Because I do not think that is correct. (I think the enode ID is maybe the public key?)

  • Exactly, the enode is somehow public, while the network key is private.
