Masternode voting guide?

Can someone point me to a Node voting guide?

I know one can easily do it on the dashwhale.com website but I'm also interested in doing it directly from a wallet since it's more powerful and decentralized this way. Is there a guide on how to vote using the dash wallet?
 
Thanks but it's not exactly what I was looking for.

Where can one see a list of all masternode vote commands?

You will need to access your VPS in terminal. I'm sure you know how to do that:
After you login to your VPS you will use one of the following two codes snippets to vote:
./dash-cli mnbudget vote 74e9003906b2ddba7b0115e9bc728367255122cf8da64b5bafec22b9d35683af yes
./dash-cli mnbudget vote 74e9003906b2ddba7b0115e9bc728367255122cf8da64b5bafec22b9d35683af no

If you have many masternodes you would use the follow code snippets:
dash-cli mnbudget vote-many 74e9003906b2ddba7b0115e9bc728367255122cf8da64b5bafec22b9d35683af yes
dash-cli mnbudget vote-many 74e9003906b2ddba7b0115e9bc728367255122cf8da64b5bafec22b9d35683af no

You can also vote from the actual DASH wallet instead of the VPS if you want:
mnbudget vote 74e9003906b2ddba7b0115e9bc728367255122cf8da64b5bafec22b9d35683af yes
mnbudget vote 74e9003906b2ddba7b0115e9bc728367255122cf8da64b5bafec22b9d35683af no

Multiple Masternodes from GUI:
mnbudget vote-many 74e9003906b2ddba7b0115e9bc728367255122cf8da64b5bafec22b9d35683af yes
mnbudget vote-many 74e9003906b2ddba7b0115e9bc728367255122cf8da64b5bafec22b9d35683af no

If you go here you can see the long string of letters and numbers is the budget hash for the most recent budget proposal (2 mb block size increase). You can access the entire list of proposals as well, click on one and it takes you to the specific proposal page. From there you can see the budget hash.

Thanks. mnbudget is the command I was looking for. Just need to type this in the debug section of the wallet and you will get a voting related help section.

Okay well great, glad you got it. I actually vote from my phone using connectbot app, pretty sweet.
 
This is the mnbudget command list I'm getting:

mnbudget "command"... ( "passphrase" )
Vote or show current budgets

Available commands:
prepare - Prepare proposal for network by signing and creating tx
submit - Submit proposal for network
vote-many - Vote on a Dash initiative
vote-alias - Vote on a Dash initiative
vote - Vote on a Dash initiative/budget
getvotes - Show current masternode budgets
getinfo - Show current masternode budgets
show - Show all budgets
projection - Show the projection of which proposals will be paid the next cycle
check - Scan proposals and remove invalid
nextblock - Get next superblock for budget system
(code -1)


How to get a list of the budget proposals. If I try to use get votes command I get a
Correct usage is 'mnbudget getvotes profilename' msg

edit:

nvm

it's "mnbudget show "command

I'm getting error upon calling SetKey msg after using mnbudget vote 74e9003906b2ddba7b0115e9bc728367255122cf8da64b5bafec22b9d35683af yes

If I try the same syntax followed by passkey I get Error parsing Json

Vote-many didn't work either. I had to use the dashwhale to cast the votes eventually.

I believe the wallet voting needs to be improved a bit and it also needs to be made more accessible. It's great that we have dashwhale, which does a great job but at the end of the day it's a centralized point of failure, which can potentially log IPs and reveal who voted for which projects, who the people who hold sway in the community are and so on. More attention needs to be given to the wallet voting I think.
 
QT-Wallet voting:

- Start wallet.
- Wait for wallet update 100%.
- Unlock wallet with your password.
- Go to console and vote.
- Done.

Works ok for me.
