OPERATOR AUTHORIZATION
Bind the operator without putting its private key on the server.
The browser wallet proves control of the operator identity. The node stores the public binding/proof; the wallet private key stays client-side.
First binding
On first launch, bin/pbe-node creates a one-time setup code. The browser wallet signs a binding proof and sends only its public address/public key and proof to the node.
Windows CMD
cd /d D:\xampp\htdocs\paybyte.org
D:\xampp\php\php.exe bin\pbe-node --config config\config.phpThe daemon prints setup instructions until an operator wallet is bound through the Paybyte wallet flow.
Hosted-node privacy
Public node status does not publish the operator wallet address, its balance, or local producer identity. Management state is returned only after the bound wallet signs the appropriate operator challenge.
Key boundaryThe machine producer key and the operator/reward wallet are separate cryptographic domains. Do not copy the wallet private key into node configuration just to enable block production.
