The safest way of running a masternode is using the hot/cold method described in this great tutorial: https://dashpay.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1867820 However, you may want to choose a more simple method of running a mastermode directly on a Windows platform, if you have...

Sorry, to busy right now, I'll finish it next Wednesday.

OK, to surmise, all you need is one single transaction of 1000 DASH to a public key you already have or that you create, right? Or are extra steps needed when you do this? I have not edited the masternode.conf file, it is empty. I will finish the howto on wednesday and publish it, including...

OK thanks for the feedback! So the TX still needs to be 1000 DASH? Would it be allright if the address that receives the TX already has some DASH? I was also wondering, do you really have to specify addnode=23.23.186.131 in dash.conf?

The safest way of running a master node is using the hot/cold method described in this great tutorial: <can't post links yet will fill this in later> However, you may want to choose a more simple method of running a Master Node directly on a Windows platform, if you have enough confidence that...

OK thx, I'll make a guide tonight and post it here for review.

OK thx for the advice. I take it then that there are no extra risks involved in this other then the usual risks of running a hot wallet. I have the masternode up and running, its public key is XfcQ7pYziBJjekGmRn1qvJUnqTE6TkbJbb. I would gladly make a guide with screenshots for other users...

OK, I'll try and filter out the relevant parts and see how it goes. What exactly are your concerns running a 'hot' wallet as a masternode? The same concerns as having any hot wallet for any crypto, or are there extra reasons?

Thanks for all the replies. This still sounds very complicated. Can't I just run the (hot) wallet I have on my server (already) to be a MN? It's there now, with 1000 DASH on it, it's just not a master node. I'd really like it to be one. Are there examples of .conf files? Do I need to forward...

I am certainly honoured to receive this advice of you. However, I am not putting money into a VPS and I am confident in the server I have already running. It has a good firewall and strict execution prevention of anything I do not want to run. The risks I ran of getting a keylogger when I had a...

Thx a lot, but that guide may be for dummies, it is for dummies running this on a VPS, which I am not going to do. I am just looking for a guide for a single MN on a single Windows machine. Are there example .conf files for this? How do I start the wallet in Masternode-mode? How do I...

Hey guys, I've been digging through the site and the forum looking for a guide for simply setting up a single MN on a Windows machine. I have a small server running that I want to assign this new task. Is there a guide for that? The guides I found are for more complex setups. I do not want to...
