I am really new at this and just about to stop trying setting up this Arctic Masternode in Vultr. If you are so inclined to answer some questions it would be appreciated, if not I understand.
When setting up server in "Vultr" all the Youtube videos say "pick a location" then use "Ubunto" I have a new computer running Windows 10, OS manufacture "Microsoft Corporation" System Manufacture, MSI.
When I read what "Ubunto" is, it says for a "Linux" system. I thought "linux" was completely different from Windows.
I followed this guy's instructions on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H9eEwgTuoA and everything worked up to the point of connecting the VPS using Putty.
When I get to mkdir ~/arcticcoin, it always say "no directory found".
I have tried that command line in many different forms and it still does not work.
Also this line I question, even though I never really got to it, "wget https://github.com/ArcticCore/arcticcoin/releases/download/v0.12.1.2/arcticcore-0.12.2-linux64.tar.gz" this says linux 64 when I have Windows 64.
Can you tell me where I went wrong?
Wiling to donate $50 of bitcoin to you if you help me set this up!
Thank you

Save the output of the last command, this is the you'll send your ARC to.
Send EXACTLY 1000 ARC this (`1000.01` from cryptopia)
Then list transaction:
arcticcoin-cli listtransactions
and get the `txid`

arcticcoin-cli goldminenode genkey

Then:
```
arcticcoind -daemon
arcticcoin-cli goldminenode outputs
=> {
"xxxx": "IDX"
}
```
Wait until your tx has 15 transactions (check with `arcticcoin-cli listtransactions`)
Note the "IDX" value and open the file `~/.arcticcore/goldminenode.conf`.
nano ~/.arcticcore/goldminenode.conf
Add the following line:
```
mn1:7209
```
Then `arcticcoin-cli goldminenode start`.
Check your goldmine is connected by doing:
```
arcticcoin-cli goldminenode list | grep
"TXID-IDX": "PRE_ENABLED"
```
After 20-30 min you should see:
```
arcticcoin-cli goldminenode list | grep
"AAAAA-B": "ENABLED"
```
