Windows installer finished --> https://darkcointalk.org/threads/windows-installer-artworks.1751/#post-11727
If RC is open sourced you can compile the masternode code on every of your machinesSorry, I'm a linux guy and not used to binaries. Nevermind me then.
If using windows for local wallet, do you know if I can just change my config file to repoint?1 - Download the release candicate 0.10.11.6 "linux rc3 (darksend) tgz" file from darkcoin.io website -> getting started page on your local pc.
2 - Extract the tgz file on your local pc which will give you darkcoin-0.10.11.6-linux folder containing bin folder containing 32 & 64 bit folders, i am using 64 bit so in 64 bit folder was 2 files "darkcoin-qt" & "darkcoind"
terminal commands are in bold, i am assuming your darkcoind file is in your home folder (remote server) for all of the below terminal commands
3.1 - on remote server stop the MN - ./darkcoind stop
3.2 - on remote server, backup old darkcoind file - mv darkcoind darkcoind.old
3.3 - on local pc from inside extracted 64 bit folder - scp darkcoind [email protected]:/home/YOURUSERNAME
3.4 - confirm copied darkcoind file is in your home folder on the remote server, should be 6824kb in size - ls -s
3.5 - give darkcoind file execute permission on the remote server - chmod +x darkcoind
3.6 - start darkcoind file on remote server - ./darkcoind
3.7 - wait about 30 seconds, confirm you are running .6 version, at top of the output will be the version 101106, on remote server - ./darkcoind getinfo
3.8 - confirm your MN is running, output should end in IPADDRESS:1 with a 1 showing - ./darkcoind masternode list | grep YOUR-REMOTEPC-IP-ADDRESS
3.9 - Re-confirm your MN running by checking elbzo.net webpage, allow 45-60 minutes for your version to update on that webpage.
Hope the above helps.
I dont know what you mean by repoiont. I had the understanding that updating did not require a change to the .conf file. I could be wrong anyone please correct me if so.If using windows for local wallet, do you know if I can just change my config file to repoint?
Same thing happened to one of my MN's also. The Other two were fine however. Weird.. In regards to the pointing, I was looking off of what booyah posted up above. Babygiraffe had a great guide and that seemed to go off without a hitch. (Essentially what you had written) Other than that one not listing on any servers, it's all good.that started the server.
It is now showing updated on elbzo.net to 10.11.6 but does not show listed yet on the Status drkmn 01 thru 08 or the p2 pool. I am hoping that it just needs time for those.
hopefully this helps someone trying to update. I am still kinda of new to linux but am learning.
no that's weird the grep command doesn't seem to do anything now?? and I am still unlisted? Any ideas??Same thing happened to one of my MN's also. The Other two were find however. Weird..

*Edit: Is your ip showing up when you ./darkcoind masternode list | grep [ip]?
Did you try going back into the wallet console and entering "walletpassphrase <password> 60" and "masternode start <password>" to relaunch the masternode?Yeah, same thing happened to me and looks like my node disappeared from elbzo. :/. Assuming will have to restart creation process over?
Edit* Trying to roll back to 05 version and seeing if that changes anything.
Edit** Didn't work. Not too sure now. Will probably need to transfer coins and re-setup?
I see I am always 1 step behind babygiraffe. I just went to my windows wallet and re-did masternode genkey. And then restarted my masternode and all is working now. I guess it is worth mentioning that I first stoped darkcoind on my linux server and edited the darkcoin.conf file to masternode=0 and deleted my old masternode private key. Then I ran darkcoind again. then stoped it. then did the same on windows. I edited the .conf file ran the wallet. closed the wallet. opened it again then requested the new masternode genkey. Then edited the linus .conf with teh new key and changed masternod=1 then ran darkcoind on linux. then I edited my local .conf file. then opened the local wallet did the passphrase and start masternode commands and now its working.babygiraffe I have not yet. Will try throwing that in and seeing. Thanks!
Ya went through and still no 1 after ip. :/
Here goes nothing....I see I am always 1 step behind babygiraffe. I just went to my windows wallet and re-did masternode genkey. And then restarted my masternode and all is working now.

That did the trick! Nice and easy. Nice job Darkuopm and thank you.let us know if it works for you. Thanks
What version are you referring to? If its 0.9.12.6: Yes, there is no masternode start command in there, as it does not contain masternode functionality. A Windows binary for 0.10.12.6 (masternode capable) is not available at the moment.With this setup and the latest Windows Wallet there seems to be no more 'Masternode start" command available in the debug console.
No, the windows wallet does not need to be online, just the actual masternode (linux server).My quesiton is, does the windows wallet NEED to be online at all times for teh masternode, or merely the instance running on the linux server?
Update to 101106 and you will find connections automatically.I have issues setting up MN #2.
It doesn't seem to be downloading the blockchain. When I do ./darkcoind getinfo it shows
{
"version" : 101105,
"protocolversion" : 70018,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 0,
"timeoffset" : 0,
"connections" : 0,
"proxy" : "",
"difficulty" : 0.00024414,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1406802420,
"keypoolsize" : 101,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"mininput" : 0.00001000,
"errors" : ""
I thought that might be the issue.Update to 101106 and you will find connections automatically.
That one is still confusing me, too. The link you posted is deprecated and will not be updated in future.I thought that might be the issue.
Was using this command
wget http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoind
and it was only doing 101105
How can I update to 101106?
Okay, thought I was going crazyThat one is still confusing me, too. The link you posted is deprecated and will not be updated in future.
It is hidden here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin-binaries/master/rc/darkcoin-0.10.11.6-linux.tar.gz
I think this is the thread you are looking for Masternode guide for complete noobs to update to 0.10.11.6Okay, thought I was going crazy
How to I decompress it? and utilise it like i would the wget command... bit of a Linux moron... my bad :S
Thanks bro! Its been doing my head in for hours!I think this is the thread you are looking for Masternode guide for complete noobs to update to 0.10.11.6![]()
damn thing still wont start. Grep command returns just a blank line. damn it,Thanks bro! Its been doing my head in for hours!
I'm having trouble on the local wallet running the Masternode start command. I verified my port is open but I keep getting the message inbound port is not open please open and try again. Any thoughts?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.
3. 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: https://elbzo.net/masternodes.html
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
EDIT2 (1.8.2014): UPDATED FIRST POST, TO INCLUDE NEW DOWNLOAD PATH TO DARKCOIN BINARIES ...
Hi,I'm having trouble on the local wallet running the Masternode start command. I verified my port is open but I keep getting the message inbound port is not open please open and try again. Any thoughts?
