Thanks for the reply. I think there's definitely something wrong on my end. After downloading the wallet and extracting it seems that all there is in there is the .exe file, and that won't do anything when I try to open it. Shouldn't there be other files in the folder along with the .exe file? It's as if the rest of the files were not downloaded, all that's visible is the .exe and that doesn't want to do anything. I deleted and redownloaded a couple times to see if would work. I hope this makes sense.
Odd - check everything on your end, so that the program is being allowed (maybe something is blocking it?)
When the .exe file is run, a bunch of other files are created - data files, database, other folders, etc. These are not things that you need to download first.
Hey, I've just set up my first MN. How do I know if I have set it up correctly? Thanks!
Hey! You should be able to check that your masternode (IP address) shows up in the master list on the MN tab. You should also see a message that says Masternode is Running. If this is the case, and your firewall settings are correct, you should be good. Keep an eye on it, because if it is removed from the list after around an hour, there may be a port issue. Otherwise, wait for a first reward payment for confirmation.
