These are the COMPLETE (will be tomorrow) steps in setting up a STaTiC Node with Windows: (
currently being UPDATED and posted to hold top spot on this page)
1.) Download XtraBYtes Wallet (this is a temporary link https://ufile.io/w6xup: a.) Save in its own directory (ie. D:\XBY ) [
Make whatever path you want, but this example uses this sequence.]
b.) Run wallet and allow the blockchain to sync [
You can still copy your address for later steps while syncing.]
c.) Transfer spendable coins to this wallet if you have extra for your own security [
Do Not Send STaTiC Node Coins here if buying the exact amounts because each transfer has a fee of 100 XBY.]
This will be your MAIN wallet that you can hold spendable coins in.
2.) Creating Deposit Wallet: a.) Open cmd window [Start button > Type cmd in Search Programs and Files (click enter)]
b.) Type the following commands: d: (click enter) cd d:\XBY (click enter) dir (click enter) [
Notice that at this point you can see the directories in the XBY folder and next we will add your new directory.]
c.) Type the following commands: mkdir staticnode (click enter) dir (click enter) [
Notice that you can now see a new directory called "staticnode".]
d.) Type the following commands: w6xupxtrabytes-qt.exe -datadir=staticnode (click enter) [
Now a new version of the XtraBYtes wallet will start and this will be empty (assuming you have coins in your original "spendable" wallet)
and therefore it is a completely different wallet.]
NOTICE - DO NOT CLOSE CMD WINDOW [
Unless you want to type all the commands again later.]
3. Creating STaTiC Node Wallet: a.) Open cmd window [Start button > Type cmd in Search Programs and Files (click enter)]
b.) Type the following commands: d: (click enter) cd d:\XBY (click enter) dir (click enter) [
This dir command is not actually required, it is just to show what is happening]
c.) Type the following commands: mkdir staticnodeS (click enter) dir (click enter) [
Again, this is NOT required... dir only shows the directory and does not have any other purpose. HOWEVER, please notice the name of the directory now... this is the STaTiC directory staticnode(S) and it correlates with the Deposit directory staticnode (you can name these whatever you wish, but this seems logical and easy to follow, so we did it this way for new users.)]
d.) Type the following commands: w6xupxtrabytes-qt.exe -datadir=staticnodeS (click enter) [
Now a new version of the XtraBYtes wallet will start and this will be empty (this will ALWAYS be empty because the S at the end of the file identifies it as your actual STaTiC wallet)
so again, it is a completely different wallet.]
I cannot keep my eyes open any longer... I will finish this when I wake up:For those more experienced - you need to send 1,000,100 coins to your deposit address.
Also, anyone wanting to know exactly how many XBY they are earning from the STaTiC system should create a separate earning wallet which will be the spendable wallet address you enter in the STaTiC registration section. This will keep them separate from your other coins you have bought that are in excess of the STaTiC required amount.
More instructions will come as we learn and Borzalom is already identifying some shortcuts and safety features to make this smoother.
NOTE: This is ONLY a TEST SYSTEM... the wallet works, but the STaTiC registration system cannot be completed. So, test it and play with it....

very good ,I plan buy many xby to join STaTiC Node
