You have now completed linux part. You can leave console/putty open, but in order to complete setup, you need to enter come commands on your Windows PC. With commands there, you will initiate connection from your funded wallet (1000 DRK balance), which will enable masternode on linux.

WRAPPING IT ALL TOGETHER!
On your windows pc:
Open NEW notepad, and paste in the following text:
---
rpcuser=LONG-RANDOM-STRING-fisjfijsfisjfsdwesdfsfdsfsfsdfhis_you_should_change_this
rpcpassword=LONGER-RANDOM-STRINGfisdfisfisjfijsfisjfsdwesdfsfdsfsfsdft_you_should_change_this
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=0
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
addnode=23.23.186.131
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
masternodeaddr=YYYYYYYYYYYYYY:9999
----
Replace rpcuser and rpcpassword fields with random text.
Replace the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX string with the privkey value, obtained in previous steps above.
Replace YYYYYYYYYYY string, with IP address of your linux server (you should see it from vultr dashboard, or on linux, if you type "ifconfig" and look at eth0 line).
Save file as c:\darkcoin\darkcoin.conf
Now close darkcoin-qt.exe if still running.
Open DOS window (windows key+R, enter “CMD” and press enter), and go to c:\darkcoin and run darkcoin-qt.exe with parameter to force it to load the darkcoin.conf file (make sure conf file is indeed called darkcoin.conf, as notepad could append the .txt at the end):
cd c:\darkcoin
darkcoin-qt.exe -conf=C:\darkcoin\darkcoin.conf
Once darkcoin-qt opens, go to console, and enter the password that you used to ENCRYPT WALLET on windows:
walletpassphrase "PASSWORD" 60
you will get blank line, and in the main window the LOCK icon will change to unlocked.
Now continue with:
masternode start "PASSWORD"
If successful, you will see a message - masternode started...
On your linux server:
Now go to linux console/putty again, and issue the command:
grep HotCold .darkcoin/debug.log
if you see a line with Enabled in string, then linux masternode is enabled (activated from funded windows wallet!).
Now you can check whether your linux server is listed in list of active masternodes, with command:
./darkcoind masternode list | grep YOURIP
And if your IP is listed with :1 at the end, then you are up and running, and should expect first masternode payment soon!
You can also check whether your MN (IP) is listed at this great elbereth's MN status page:

Congratulations!
EDIT (26.6.2014): ADDED APPENDIX ON UPDATING THIS SETUP TO NEW DARKCOIN VERSIONS (currently to 10.11.4 that softforks and enables masternode payments, but should work for newer versions too), here: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/dr...cal-linux-remote-vultr.1367/page-3#post-10183
