Remote MasterNode guide UPDATED

I used the mainnet port on the first try and now I am unable to remove the wrong one from the masternode list... :(
masternode stop just says:
Not implemented yet
Sucks... Wanted to test payments...

I have the same problem and worse still, it seems when I turn off that particular local wallet, my MN with the :9999 goes offline. So I'm hoping someone can help or someone will fix it soon??

BTW, in hopes of turning off the masternode with :0, I sent the funds to another wallet, but it's still there. Later today I'm going to try making a new local address and see if that will at least let me make a masternode that stays on the list once I take the local wallet offline.....? Will report back :)
 
Now that I have started the MN on the correct port, the other one on :9999 is still shown but with "0" after it. The 1000 DRK were sent to another wallet so: No 1000 DRK, no local wallet running, no masternode running, still showing up in the list.

Code: 
$ ./darkcoind masternode list
{
    "188.226.230.170:19999" : 1,
    "54.245.240.204:19999" : 1,
    "54.86.62.146:19999" : 1,
    "54.187.165.199:19999" : 1,
    "37.59.168.129:9999" : 0,
    "37.59.168.129:19999" : 1
}

AFAIK you can just send them to another address/wallet. dont think they are locked, but I will try that later to see what happens to my MN if i use the funds

I was able to unlock the 1000 DRK by removing the masternode=1 in the options, then I sent them to another address without any problem. Without doing that the 1000 DRK were not available in the unspent list, so unable to send to another address.
 
Still no payments... I would like to see at least an immature transaction so I know the setup works.

After running the local/remote setup on testnet for sometime now. With the -masternodeaddr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.:19999 (testnet)
I now received payments to the local wallet (I have now 2050 DRK sitting on the address 0) so apparently it's not a problem to if you get more DRK to that address after you started the Masternode. I guess it's only important that the 1000 DRK were received in 1 transaction and it doesn't matter if you receive more.

Ok,

So I guess it don't care if you sent those earning away from this wallet to another. ( to made another MS lol ...)
Thanks Tane and Donho
 
is this still just on testnet? I want to wait till its ready for amazon web service for masternode static i.p. but dont want to be the first to figure it out.
 
The command darkcoind getaddressesbyaccount 0 doesn't seem to work on 0.10.7.0 anymore (returns empty value).

Edit: My bad, mixed it with getaccountaddress 0... :/ I was too tired.

Anyone know if the same commands work in the windows wallet? I'm going to be messing around with it later tonight hopefully, but have no idea how to set the master from windows.

I'd also love an answer to this! If not I'll have to install unix.

Many thanks TanteStefana for this guide! Awesomeness.

One last question, with the newly updated darkcoind released today, do we install 0.9.3.0 or the new RC2 V 0.10.7.0 ?
Stable version (v0.9.3.0):
http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/darkcoind
http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/darkcoin-qt
http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/darkcoin-qt.exe

RC2 (v0.10.7.0):
http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoind
http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoin-qt
http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoin-qt.exe
 
As far as I know (maybe I am wrong) 0.10 has Darksend/Masternode (but is closed source) while 0.9 doesn't (but is open source).

You know what, I think you might be right, but i've not been able to find a clear answer. I feel like 0.10 RC2 is the way to go.

Anyone know if you can use windows client to fire up the remote nodes?

elbereth, mind detailing how to did it? I was with vsixtyfour on IRC trying to figure it out. We got stuck. Did you use the QT?
Click to expand...

I have tried using the QT wallet in place of darkcoind on my windows for the local/remote server setup. The commands seem to work and my masternode shows in the list on the QT wallet, but I can't see my masternode in the list on the remote server. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
 
We couldn't fire it up, dont know, couldnt see what was going on via IRC. Plus, I'm on a Mac. I will attempt it once I figure if stable version can be used call the RC in the server

Did you get the "Masternode Starting" message? Also, when you created darkcoin.conf, did you include server=1 at all?
 
Has anyone tried starting a 2nd masternode from the same 1000 drk wallet using this method? I hope it doesn't work for the sake of drk prices, though it would mean a lot of nodes if it does.
