How to point `cored` to a specific network?

By default, cored binary points to the local node (localhost:26657).

To point it to a specific node you should use two flags – --node and --chain-id.

For example status for the specific node can be retrieved this way:

cored status --node={NODE_URL_WITH_PORT} --chain-id={CHAIN_ID}

NODE_URL_WITH_PORT and CHAIN_ID can be found at network variables page.

How to fix `account not found` error?

If you see the next message:

Error: rpc error:
  code = NotFound desc = rpc error:
    code = NotFound desc = account testcore1q07ldrjnr8xtsy3rz82yxqcdrffu3uw3daslrw not found:
      key not found

Two reasons might cause this issue:

Your account probably has zero balance, and it is not visible on the network. You should fund it before using it.
RPC node you used to send the request is not fully synced, use another RPC node or wait for sync completion.

How to fix `key not found` error?

If you see the next message:

Error: testcore1f2dyj8dhdv62ytrkuvn832ezzjdcpg2jhrtzvy.info: key not found

Probably, your RPC_URL and/or chain-id belong to different networks. Also, this error often occurs when you have added your account into a specific keyring (i.e. --keyring-backend=test) and you forget to specify that keyring in the CLI command.
