Having some issues running a master node. I've had to reconfigure three times now. Each time, the master node has stopped and whatever payouts it earned have disappeared from the wallet. So I set it up again and watched the logs, I see the following when I start the master node (I have replaced the IP and other sensitive data with X's for privacy):
CActiveMasternode::ManageStatus() - Checking inbound connection to 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:30137'
CActiveMasternode::ManageStatus() - Is capable master node!
CActiveMasternode::Register() - Adding to masternode list service: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:30137 - vin: CTxIn(COutPoint(XXXXXXXX, 1), scriptSig=)
CActiveMasternode::Register() - SendDarkSendElectionEntry vin = CTxIn(COutPoint(XXXXXXX, 1), scriptSig=)
connected to self at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:34438, disconnecting
Misbehaving: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (0 -> 1)
ProcessMessage(dsee, 253 bytes) FAILED
What concerns me is the "Misbehaving" line near the end. I'll see if I can spot any issues in the logs if it fails again, but honestly this has been pretty rough overall. I have earned thousands of SLING with the previous two node configs and then the coins disappear from my wallet some time later after the master node stops running. The actual wallet doesn't die or anything, it just stops being a master node.
Help please?
Your post doesn't make much sense:
1) You can't have earned "thousands" from running a masternode. There's a maximum of 863 coins per day for all masternodes to earn, overall. That means per day earnings on a masternode are in the low hundreds of coins at most, with 1-10 masternodes on the network, and we haven't seen more than that so far. I think you're confused by the way masternode payments show up in the wallet; they show as "mined" transactions, with the total value of the block. However, you only earn ~0.89579 SLING per POS block your masternode is involved with (67% of a minted stake of 1.337 SLING).
2) You wouldn't lose coins from a masternode stopping running. Coins are always tied to the private key for the address, which is in kept your wallet...
The usual reason for a masternode to stop running would be that you moved some of the coins from the collateral address.
