So, any vin greater than the current minimum is elegible to act as a Masternode, just check the box. Multiple MNs can thus be easily run from one machine, no static IP required, subject to bandwidth limitations.

Personally I would still rent a VPS.

My initial impression is that Spread Masternodes are a HUGE improvement in terms of ease of setup and administration vs. Darkcoin Masternodes. Which is great, until a bunch of Windows users get hacked and lose their Spread. And the service levels of a constantly fluctuating MN network (more so than Darkcoin as home users join/leave) remain to be seen. I don't see there being too many issues with this, but we'll have to see how well the network performance scales.

We'll need to make cold storage easily doable for people.

It's still very early, but I'm pretty damn excited at present.

Masternode payments will only start when there are 300 elected masternodes. We may need to lower this number for testnet because we may actually not reach that much.

Mr. Spread, I have a few questions:
1. Can I start MN on VPS, but keep coins on my local wallet?
2. When will launch in the minenet?

1. Yes, you can use mnsecret command to generate secret required to run masternode (it is only for running the masternode, it doesn't allow to spend its coins).
e.g.:

Code:

mnsecret e9fd4b14508dc514a1344c5ea29903a17e645304d247002f189910ac0a755f7e:0

where argument is output (you can copy it from masternodes page)
Then add

Code:

mnstart=...

to your spreadcoin.conf where ... will be your generated secret.

I'll provide a 500 SPR bounty to someone who writes up a guide for doing that in easy to understand and follow terms.

2. At least instant transactions must be finished before that.

Do I understand correctly that the instant transaction is not implemented in testnet?

My wallet crashed just before MN listing... I sent SPR to myself, waited for confirmations... MN didn't show yet... then wallet crashed, I restarted and there was the MN...

Yes, there may be still some bugs.

Other than that everything seems to work here Cool

Ok, it was just confusing. I thought you had to send the coins to yourself.

Also, if I shutdown my computer, it shuts down the masternodes, right? They won't get paid?

They will be deelected and payments will stop.

Does this eliminate the possibility of having your masternode protected with cold wallet storage? Has anyone tried that just yet? Of course, I had to be at work when all the cool stuff started happening. 😉

Cold storage is possible.

We see that votes are a bit chaotic, this maybe due to the fact that people are starting/stoping masternodes/mining and because blocks were generated very fast in recent time or due to some bug.

Ok, so i created new address in the same wallet and sent 100.5 to each.
All masternodes are now live on the network. Is that normal?

Is it going to be this easy to set up once we are on mainnet?

Amazing, isn't it?

Depending on the size of the network you are presumably going to run out of bandwidth (especially upload bandwidth on a domestic connection) at some point.

Mr. Spread, any idea of the bandwidth requirement per masternode?

Current masternodes doesn't require many bandwidth. If we will introduce darksend or other features requirements may increase.

It did not check the box, no. But the box was available to be checked.

Then what is wrong? This is how it is supposed to work, if you have output with enough coins then you can start masternode using it.
