is there anyone who can point me to an understandable guide of the start-many setup?
i understand that this should now work properly?
although i haven't found a thread yet where this is well explained.
tx
It works perfectly, and is very easy. Instructions are in the download archive, look for /src/darkcoin.version-number/doc/masternode_conf.md
In short:
1. Import your existing privkeys into a new or an existing wallet. Preferably a new up to date wallet.
2. Make a textfile called masternode.conf, structure it according to the directions in masternode_conf.md
3. Unlock your wallet with 'walletpassphrase
thanks for the explanation!
i think i almost got it, though i have some follow up questions, because i keep having an error :
- the error is : options configuration file contains an invalid line 'the mn1 details' only use the key = value syntax (what am i doing wrong here) i used the alia,IP + port, mn privkey, collateral output tx id and index (they are all index 0)
- is it possible to have like 3 mn setup in your wallet for which you can use the start-many command and also have like 2 or 3 receiving addresses which are not meant for masternodes? or does this have to be a wallet with solely the private keys of the public addresses with 1K DRK each on it?
thanks in advance for your guidance
Check the formatting, make sure it's exactly as in the example, single whitespace between each entry, no spare lines/tabs/spaces.
And yes you can have a day-to-day address or whatever else in the same wallet, just make sure when you are sending funds that you select inputs from the day-to-day address (use coin control) so that you don't inadvertently break a Masternode by sending from one of the 1000DRK collateral lumps.
formatting is exactly the same
conf file looks like this currently:
mn1 54.201.192.114:9999 7sPNxbVThiJwCKusGNLqsopE7HAAJ5yZNBZKjfWNEgMpZdjiSA9
defe770ef1ee1977efc84b08d817502b65d18a22dbb8ec5e54681196044ffd6b 0
mn2 54.186.228.115:9999 7sMqM5HxamJRx3k6kLcHnLTuSLyeKDcHiL1nJ1CaFU6ZWJsbCMB
c466666faf0e87b90f4a805613bd349930fb5bc80188ee758e6f6937ba3cd383 0
is there anything more besides this that i need to add?
Are you actually using masternode.conf file? It seems like you are using darkcoin.conf instead.
Also you should not share the private keys on the forum, so better change them.
