MANO update 10/8/2018
Dear MANO Community,
this is an update regarding the “WATCHDOG_EXPIRED” status on MANO masternodes earlier today.
As some of you noticed, all masternodes started showing this new status after someone installed sentinel on their VPS.
For those who don’t know, sentinel is a piece of software that is required by some dash forks and its job is to check the node is online and updated.
MANO does not require sentinel to be installed for your masternode to get paid.
The “bug" is that when someone installs sentinel, all other nodes who don’t have it, show status “watchdog expired” instead of enabled.
You have nothing to worry about, you will still get payments regularly but until we release a new wallet update, the way for your node to show ENABLED again is to install sentinel for MANO.
In less than 3 hours we were able to identify the problem and port Sentinel from Dash to the MANO code and we have already updated all Masternodes hosted on MANO Host, changes are starting to show on the masternode tab of the wallet.
If you do not host your masternode on MANO host, we have created a script for you to install sentinel automatically:
Login to your VPS and paste the following line
wget -qO MANOsentinel
https://mano.cx/sh/MANOsentinel.sh && sudo bash MANOsentinel
It will update your VPS, install required packages, install MANO sentinel, deploy it and add a crontab to make sure it’s checked every minute.
If you host your masternode on another platform, contact their support, they should have no issues setting sentinel for you.
Also, if you have any issues at all, we're here for you.
