Also, I'm trying to run Windows masternode. I created a new empty wallet, sent 1000 DRK into it, encrypted it, and added these in the .conf:
connect=23.23.186.131
masternode=1
Then started the wallet, typed "masternode start mypasswordhere".
After these steps, should it be a masternode? Because I don't think it is, it doesn't show up in the list of masternodes.
When I type "masternode debug" in the debug window, it says "Missing masternode input, try running masternode create".
When I type "masternode create" it says "Not implemented yet".
I'm not sure if it's that easy. I would love to know the answer to this. I'm trying to run a couple on windows myself. Have you tried an amazon AWS micro instance?
