Problems with Masternode (on rPi2)

Hi, I followed the guide (unable to post link) to set up a MN on a new raspberry pi2.

It was running fine for 2-3 days or so and then problems started after I had to shut it down to move it downstairs to my server room.

Since I started it back up, everywhere I check I see that it's offline or has errors. (Like dashwhale, or Dashninja)
At first it started up fine, and dashd is also running all the time when I check with top.
I had started dashd again of course after moving it.
When I noticed the problems I also started the masternode again in OS X dash core wallet, and then again on the pi.

Here is what I see on the pi:

./dash-cli masternode debug
Not capable masternode: Hot node, waiting for remote activation.

grep HotCold .dash/debug.log
2016-01-28 12:34:03 CActiveMasternode::EnableHotColdMasterNode() - Enabled! You may shut down the cold daemon.

Masternode incidents (from Dashwhale monitoring service:)
This section shows a history of the critical incidents of your masternodes. Two types of incidents are covered:

1. masternode dropped of the payment list
2. no connection to DASH daemon (only available if remote monitoring has been enabled)

Name Type Status Start/End Duration

Masternode dropped of the payment list! open From 29-01-2016 21:20 up to now 21 hours

Masternode dropped of the payment list! closed From 29-01-2016 19:46 to 29-01-2016 19:56 10 minutes

I see unknown masternode now, but it was there before for a couple of days and inbetween.


the log is so full, I don't know what entries are relevant, what I should be looking for.

I just tried to do masternode start in the dash core client console, and for the first time it came up with:

Not capable masternode: Could not find suitable coins!

The 1000 DASH are there though.

Up until now I always got:
Masternode successfully started

Silly question, but did the IP Adress of the Pi change after the move? If so, did you open port 9999 correctly?
 
worst case: Run from scratch. It only takes a little while to reinstall the lot. I did that once. No clue what caused it not to run.

Also: Be sure to make a SDcard Image on a desktop. So when sdcard crashes or you mess things up you can simply flash a running masternode back on a SDcard.

EDIT: Wallet and node are on same version?

Looks like the remote-start never reaches the node. Have you tried a remote-start where you connect directly to your masternode?

I am not sure which IP address to use in this step, localhost, the LAN IP of the masternode or the public IP of the masternode?

In the debug console, issue the command: addnode [ipaddress] onetry. For example addnode 127.0.0.1 onetry

Use the same IP address that you put into your dash.conf file.

Also... are your blocks caught up on the masternode?

ok I did addnode [masternode public IP] onetry in the Dash Core client console, but there was nothing returned on the following line,
then I did masternode list-conf and I only got empty brackets like:

{
}

the blocks on the masternode are at right now at 411910:
./dash-cli getinfo

I checked we are up to block 411910

If you aren't getting anything when you do masternode list-conf then try shutting down the QT and make sure your masternode.conf file is properly formatted. It seems your wallet isn't reading it. You can also try to delete the mncache.dat file. Open the QT again and let it sync with the network. Issue the command masternode list-conf and see if your masternode is output in the list.

I closed the client, deleted the file, started the client again, waited, unlocked the wallet and tried it again, the masternode list-conf command still does not return anything.

Thank you for trying to figure out whats wrong!

Sounds like the wallet isn't reading your masternode.conf file. The formatting of the file is very precise. You should check to make sure the masternode.conf file formatting is correct.
 
LOL, the guide I follwed (forum wont let me post the link at all)
it does not even mention editing masternode.conf ..
So I never put anything in that config file.
Strange that the mn was running fine without it for 2-3 days .. :confused:

I'm trying that now ..
 
Thank you so much, it is running now after I added the details to masternode.conf :)

Now I can wait for my first payment, I guess the days it ran already won't count now? I read something about going back to the end of the queue or something.

This is correct....

Glad to see you're up and running
 
I hope it will continue to run this time :)

The guide for setting up a masternode on a raspberry pi 2 that can be found on dashpay dot atlassian dot net slash wiki should be edited to include the masternode.conf.
 
Happy to hear you got it running. As long as you can keep the PI and daemon running you should see a reward in the next 6 - 7 days.
 
Until today my masternode was running perfectly. :smile:

This morning we had a 5 minute power outage, very uncommon for us here in Germany.
My masternode was of course offline again, all the same errors .. "Not capable masternode: Hot node, waiting for remote activation." ..

Of course I had already forgotten how I fixed it last time, where I went to get help, lol .. no notes .. perfect, starting from scratch again and eventually reset my forum password here and found my old thread again.

I tried things like removing peers.dat from my local wallet on OS X .. then .. no luck ..
I tried the remote start as described here: https://blog.node40.com/how-to-conn...om-your-local-wallet-to-issue-a-remote-start/

No luck with all of that ... then even though my public IP from cable provider has not changed in years ... I thought I better check .. damn , the public IP changed ..

Now I edited the dash.conf file on OS X because thats the only place where I found my public IP hardcoded ..

I managed to start the masternode, but strangely, it still thinks my public IP is the old one.
https://dashninja.pl/mndetails.html?mnpubkey=XiHc6dJJCwpQqhrbntbmJwpCc4rsHViYXV
On dashninja I can see the old IP as well, and the port check fails of course ...

I check on the raspberry pi, the IP address is not in the config files on the node ... where is it?

I can't find where the old IP is.

If I do a masternode list-conf in the console of the client on OS X, I also see the old IP:










{
"masternode" : {
"alias" : "mn1",
"address" : "77.20.94.149:9999",
"privateKey" : "removed",
"txHash" : "removed",
"outputIndex" : "1",
"status" : "ENABLED"
}
}


Where do I need to change it? And what steps to take after I changed it?

Thank you!
