I set up my masternode and it seems to be woriking correctly. It says active in the masternode list and a number that I assume is seconds of uptime is growing a little with every status update.
The masternode is a remote machine, created by following the official guide in bitsend forums
A few questions:
I don't see the masternode in the my "masternodes column" It's always empty. I have to go to the full public list and find it by IP. Why is that?
It seems one masternode gets paid 20 bsd everyblock. How does the winner masternode get picked and what is the expected time for a reward?
Does the controller node need to be online once the remote masternode gets started? I know the wallet.dat can be changed.
1 - after you add line to "masternode.conf" in local wallet it shoud appear im "My Masternodes" as configuration.
I dont know how did you start it, if you have not configured it correctly. But, if its showing as working masternode, maybe you started it locally(from remote server) with wallet.dat containing 25k BSD?
Can you point exactly which guide you have used?
2 - currently masternodes get paid about every 20 hours
3 - no, controller wallet does not need to run.
Be careful, don't share information about private keys, make sure you have set correct firewall rulles (must be described in a guide) and good passwords.
Achieve help only in public channels, its harder to full you in front of everyone.
This is the guide I used
https://bitsend.info/forums/index.php?topic=196.0It's been over 24 hours with no payment, eventhough the masternode still appears online. I can't figure out what's wrong
Yes the remote machine is properly firewalled
I should also mention that masternode debug command says the masternode was started remotely, on both the controller and the remote machine
I think I started it on the remote machine, but the collateral is on the controller and it did use the masternode output to start. It refused to start if the 25k transaction was locked on the controller.
Also, I'm starting to think the guide is not very accurate. It does not use the masternode.conf file on either machine and it uses masternode=1 on both
I also set up a third, independent node to see how the masternode appears from an unrelated node. It appears up still, with the controller down (so it's not needed as you said) and the time column updates correctly
