The coin is still in POW (Proof of Work) phase, no staking yet. It will go to POS (Proof of Stake) phase in 2.5 days. After block 10.080.

hi,
i keep having staking problems.
the coins are now in the wallet for 2 days. The wallet is synced... the wallet has been encrypted... is current in open for staking.

But it keeps showing me the staking is not activated.
in the config file this is written:

Staking=1
listen=1
txindex=1
rpcuser=*yourusername*
rpcpassword=*yourpassword*
rpcport=51473
port=51572
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
addnode=1.122.212.160
addnode=74.118.192.18
addnode=85.214.125.248
addnode=84.200.16.124
addnode=81.169.251.126
addnode=82.211.30.118
...

is there a slack page? or could any1 give any advice?
have already set up several wallets and they all started staking after 24hours. but this 1 is not getting to "staking is active"
(and the wallet is up and running for 36hours without shutting down)

thnx for the advice

1) It will take some time before your masternode turns 'active'. When you 'start' a masternode from the gui, you actually just register it with the network. Funny detail is: you'll get masternode rewards from that moment on. But without an actual masternode, that registration will time out in about an hour and payments will stop. The masternode needs to ping the system to tell its alive. Also the 'last active' stats are dependent on those pings. It will take some time for the masternode to start pinging (don't know why) and also for the stats to update. Finally the 'lastpaid' will be set whenever your masternode was selected for a reward. But you won't get actual rewards until block 10,081.

On a successful registration from your controlling wallet, your masternodes debug.log should show "CActiveMasternode::EnableHotColdMasterNode() - Enabled! You may shut down the cold daemon". After a while, you should see it ping: " CActiveMasternode::SendMasternodePing()" in the same logfile.

2) Yes, when you 'start' (register) the masternode, the wallet automatically locks the 10M coins to prevent them from being spent (which is great btw, not all wallets do that).
To check that your coins are locked, you can enable 'coin control' (Settings menu, Options, Wallet) and then on the 'Send' page, use 'Inputs...' to see your inputs (basically thats the individual coins you received). Your 10M input should have a lock symbol next to it.

i used gpu rx 580, what's tool for mining?   

Hi I would appriciate, if you could provide a mobile wallet, paper wallet and brain wallet. Many thanks in advance.

Ok, sorry for that.

2 more questions. In the PC wallet, it says enabled, yet time active does not run. It stays at 0. In the debugconsole under masternodelist mine is visible as enabled but also this shows :
activetime" : 0,
        "lastpaid" : 0

While others have values there ( it is running for about 30 or 40 minutes now. Is this normal or i missed something?

Second question, i have more than the 10.000.000 required for the MN, if i wish to send something from the pc wallet, does it automatically use the balance not used for the MN (is it locked?) or do i need to use the debug console (sendto/from) from now on?

You're welcome.

@Hangterisaan please don't quote the complete guide. I might edit my own post to fix things, but I won't be able to edit your copy of it. Also it clutters up the thread.
So please use 'edit' and remove (parts of) it, just like Fattox2 did. Thank you.

Really appreciate it, will set mine up tomorrow hopefully!

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

COLX Masternode installation guide (summary)

For security, you should create a hot/cold setup with TWO wallets:
   - One wallet for the masternode (24/7, so either a VPS or a server in your home). This will be the masternode. IT WILL CONTAIN NO FUNDS!
   - One wallet on your pc. THIS WILL CONTAIN THE FUNDS. You can use it to start the masternode server and then close this wallet.

First install the masternode wallet.
   - It must use the default port: 51572 (and ususally 51573 for RPC);
   - Write down the IP address, you'll need it later;
   - Open ports, NAT, firewall if you need to;
   - Start it. On linux: colxd --deamon
   - Synchonize the blockchain.
   - Stop it to make adjustments later. On linux: colx-cli stop
   - The masternode wallet will stay empty at all times!

Then install your PC wallet:
   - This is just a regular install of the wallet with a GUI
   - Synchonize the blockchain.
Transfer the funds to your PC wallet:
   - Create a new receiving account (File, Receiving Addresses, New), call it 'Masternode 01' or whatever you like.
   - Transfer exactly 10,000,000 to that account (must be one 10,000,000 payment, not mulitple small amounts).
Check your payment:
   - In the console (Tools Menu, Debug Console), use 'masternode outputs'.
   - For valid 10,000,000 payments, it will give you a transaction_id and a transaction_index (usually 0 or 1).
   - Copy/paste these values to textfile, you will need them later.
Create a unique number for your masternode:
   - In the console, use 'masternode genkey'
   - Save it to the textfile, you will need it later.
Enter your masternode details in your PC wallet:
   - Click Tools, Open Masternode Configuration File (or open masternodes.conf)
   - On one line, enter: some name without spaces like MN01 (space) masternode IP:port (space) generated_key (space) transaction_id (space) transaction_index
   - Save the file and restart (I think)

Configure your masternode wallet: edit ColossusCoinXT.conf:
   - Add masternode=1
   - Add masternodeprivkey={the key you generated}
   - (re)start it. On linux: colx-cli stop / colxd --deamon
   - The debug.log should say that the masternode is waiting to be started (from the PC wallet).

Activate the masternode from your PC wallet:
   - Go to page 'Masternodes'
   - Click 'update status' to see
   - Use any of the start buttons to register the masternode with the network.
   - IF IT COMPLAINS ABOUT TXID: Use the console instead: 'masternode start-alias MN01'

Check your masternode wallet:
   - The debug.log should say 'Enabled!'.
   - It will start Pinging the masternode system to keep its registration alive.

YOU CAN NOW CLOSE THE PC WALLET!
   - If you open it, your masternode payments will appear (after block 10.080).

Hello, I'm new to the crypto community.  I think I will make this my first coin.  Any idea how many coins would be earned by setting up a masternode with 10,000,000 COLX?

Can someone please share a setup guide for Masternodes? I tried to work it out from other MN guides (such as PIVX), but can't seem to get it running.

Many thanks!

Great!:) but when will appear circulation and market cap? after end swap?

Where do i type this? Do i need to change the colx.conf file? Do i need to send coins to the private key? How can i remove them after if i want?

So unclear this stuff. Looked on how it is done on PIVX but this is some heavy stuff. Not close to the 3 lines you typed. Def not trying to be disrespectful but really need some more info. ;-)

The start alias button does not work for me btw. Can not push it.

Added to OP

They cv2 will be burned via novaexchange. If not, what is the difference ? I bought CV2 for 1sat, I swapped them and I get half of my coins worth now 3 sat. So my coins now worth more than before, so personally I dont' care if they burn it or not. If cv2 will be delisted from exchanges and it wouldn't be possible to sell it, I also don't care what they will do with cv2.
