Topic: [*] 8BIT [Dark Masternodes][Anon][Roadmap Stage 4] - page 39. (Read 379550 times)

can someone upload up to date blockchain data somewhere?

I will. This guide will assume you have already built and installed 8bitd for a user on Ubuntu 16.04, and that your blockchain is already synced. If you have not achieved these yet, refer to the guide on pg 263 of this thread.

Start 8bitd:

Allow it some time to once again fully sync. Meanwhile, generate a new bitcoin address under account name "mn"

Send EXACTLY 112 8bit to this address. If you are sending from Cryptopia, you will need to send 113 8bit, as they have a 1 8bit/tx fee.

Now for the masternode setup.
1. Set a static ip for our computer. There are more than enough Ubuntu guides on this out there, so do a search. Remember the local ip chosen for the computer because it will be needed in a moment. You will need to restart networking or simply reboot after changing the  /etc/network/interfaces file for static ip.

2. Make sure the ports you want 8bit to work through are open between the internet and your computer. If you have a router between your machine and the internet you will need to forward the port through your router. You may do this by logging into your router configuration page, by typing your router's local ip address into any web browser connected to the network. For example, I typed "192.168.0.1", some may be "10.0.0.1", etc. (you can run "ifconfig" in terminal to find the "Default Gateway" ip address, same thing). Log in. If you've never logged in before do a search engine search to find the default login credentials specific to your router, mine were username "admin" password "admin", for example. Now that you are in the router config, look for the "Forwarding" or "Port Forwarding" tab/section, and add a new rule to pass the port you choose on to your wallet computer. For the sake of this guide I will choose port 9991. You want to enter your port number into both service port and external port (unless you know what you are doing, I am just simplifying here), and then you want to provide the local ip address of the computer that will be running the masternode. Now open a second port to enable rpc, here I will use port 2222. So you may have forwarded 2 ports of your computer. Make sure to enable these settings in the configuration before exiting. Phewph, that's that.

3. you want to open the actual ports on your Ubuntu machine now, using ufw:
(if you want rpc)

4. Go to whatsmyip.com and get your public ip address if you do not already know it. Write it down.

5. Go back to the terminal and type:
Copy the masternode private key, we'll need it shortly.

6. Now we need to edit the 8bit config file to enable the masternode service:

You want all the following either added or uncommented in your config file:

Change the information specific to your needs (public ip, ports, mnprivkey, etc). Save and exit the editor.

7. Now we're going to stop 8bitd:
Give it a few moments to stop and then start it up again:

If you get an error, you probably just did not give it enough time to close fully before restarting.

Let the wallet sync, check if the 112 8bit has arrived yet, and to see if you are fully synced:

The 112 8bit need 16 confirmations in order to successfully start the masternode, you can check on the block explorer or by using the command:

8. Once the 112 8bit have arrived and are confirmed by at least 16 nodes, only one command remains:


There you go.

You ought to see the following output:
or, oddly, sometimes:

Pat yourself on the back.

How much do you earn with masternodes? Is there a profitability calculator?

are there any plans to get listed on other exchanges?

the website looks like selly.gg but cool.
And it will on sale on which exchange website ?

can anyone please post a tutorial on how to setup masternode on ubuntu ?

So I'm interested in setting up a MN for this crypto but my only choice is to run it on a ubuntu wallet and not a windows one currently?

Perhaps when one 8bit is worth $8 YoBit will put in more effort. Source is readily available in more than one location of this thread, we have a fully functional block explorer, etc. You could send them the link to these, but I'll defer to drays' comment in this regard; action there is doubtful. Again, perhaps at $8/8bit.

The Windows wallet does not work, you won't be able to sync the current chain. Linux is required at this point. If you don't know it, it is easy (and imo important) to learn. Ubuntu 16.04 is advised. Read back through the recent pages of this thread to find some answers and instructions. A lot of people use vps, a lot of people run their own machines. There are detailed instructions sufficient to get you started near the top of this very page, you may begin there if you would like.

Tonight I finished setting up an 8x masternode system... I was able to do it with only 8 GB of RAM + 4 GB swap. About 80% of the RAM is used on average and about 50% of the swap space is used on average, leaving just about enough wriggle-room in the system to not drive me crazy with the slows. It's running on a server board with high RAM capacity, so I'm looking to add more memory sticks here in the future and continue on. I have learned a good amount along the way... fun stuff this 8bit. Next I'll be automating the startup process so that each masternode starts on its own at login.

8Bit was sneaked on list of hosted masternodes - Welcome to Node-VPS

anyone have the link for the windows wallet download??

Yobit tells exactly the same regarding hundreds of offline wallets on their exchange, even the ones which updated the code just days ago. If you could care to check that, you would find thie same message posted in many coin threads here on BCT. Thats just a standard false "info" they throw out to their customers to shut them up.

In fact, Yobit is not a crypto exchange, it is just traders playground, where they play with virtual "assets" having no connection to real bothckchain. Without working wallet, its much easier to do pumps and dumps, which are the main purpose of that exchange. Thats the real reason your coins are stuck there, and will remain stuck forever, most probably, as Yobit is not interested in fixing things.

I don't think this could work. Your several instances will all try to update the same blockchain databases, and will eventually corrupt them.

Why do developers not in a hurry to fix the problems of the wallet?
Already for many months I can not work with this coin on the YoBit exchange! 

YoBit support answer me next:

Question to developers:
When wallet will be ok?

Awe man... I looked at it this morning, I think both, I recall I accidentally drank 3 screwdrivers on the plane. New phone on top of that + sum knows fun as another mentioned.  

Anyways... back to business, another Monday  .

guys...geeks dont drink, they snort

alcohole is bad mmmkay

how much have you drunk?

The supply is not limited currently, but as supply grows, the inflation wil become less and less percentage-wise, as the mining rate is constant.

Is it your phone's spellchecker.. or too much whiskey?
