I would really like to help support the network and run a node, but myself and other users may need some extra advice to walk through it or the process comes across as too technically challenging. Would anyone care to walk us through it, links included?

Hi,

My masternode stopped connecting to other nodes.
Was there any update to the daemon that I'm not aware of?
Thanks.

Before daemon restart:
Code:
{ "54.213.217.28:9999" : 0, "23.23.186.131:9999" : 0, "54.238.156.138:9999" : 0, "87.242.50.175:9999" : 0, "112.175.123.94:9999" : 0, "94.23.22.195:9999" : 0, "142.161.23.40:9999" : 0, "54.193.124.32:9999" : 0, "54.193.127.186:9999" : 0, "98.101.247.254:9999" : 0, "95.85.59.159:9999" : 0, "54.86.15.235:9999" : 0, "212.101.16.116:9999" : 0, "98.176.239.187:9999" : 0, "54.85.112.223:9999" : 0, "107.170.15.238:9999" : 0, "176.31.113.167:9999" : 0, "141.255.184.191:9999" : 0, "162.243.234.7:9999" : 0, "54.245.240.204:9999" : 0 }
After:
Code:
{
    "54.213.217.28:9999" : 0
}
It was running great for the last 4 days....

Some log:

No update yet.
http://darkcoin.io/beta.php

What's your OS ?
Ubuntu on a amazon t1.micro (Linux ip-172-31-17-60 3.2.0-60-virtual #91-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 19 04:13:28 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

I have an automatic script that updates the daemon from the link you posted so I thought maybe some internal update or something...

Do you have you masternode list with the flag "1" ?

Did you see my edit on the post above? After removing peers.dat it connected to some nodes...

some flag "0", some flag "1".

And I rejected those seeders.

Question on Masternode list.

Does Masternode has cache time for Masternode list ?

When doing 'darkcoind masternode list', it still show 54.193.127.186.
54.193.127.186 is my old t1.micro's changed two days ago.

I think Masternode list is maintained by txid.
Cause "54.193.127.186" is not changed after node restart(also removing peers.dat).

Well the root node Evan posted (23.23.186.131) is not available. Maybe we need to wait for a new update/information...
Meanwhile I cleared the .darkcoind folder except wallet, conf and peers.

Im very keen to get a master node going if i had enough DRK!
Im experienced with linux and work in IT.
It would be good to have a node or two running in New Zealand.

Any news when the payouts occur of the masternodes? Thanks in advanced
Master node payments are to be implemented with RC2. Evan is currently working on this, but he has given no firm timeline for RC2's release. The code for it is all new, so give him some room to breathe. Judging by his past statements, my assumption is that it will be out sometime in the coming week, but I have no specific information on this. It's coming. Be patient.

Nice, cant wait to hear how it goes before I attempt to do so.

I am not a tech guy but i see a mutual benefit to loaning the 1000 DRK to a wallet. Maybe add a function to divide the total income in half between two additional wallet addresses. One for the the master-node host and the other for the backer with 1000 DRK.

Just thought it would help get Master nodes around the world in a peer-to-peer fashion.

I have a duplicate ip for the master node. I have an elastic ip. How can i remove it? I stopped darkcoind and the most recent of the ip addresses disappears, when I restart it comes back instantly. But the one further up the list remains. Any ideas on how to remove it?

ATTENTION all newcomers!! This thread is not valid any more! It was for RC1, we are now on RC2+1/2 :)

Set up a p2pool node! Less work and very supporting to the network!
Right now Masternode is NOT live! We are running with test-DRK's, not real DRK's. But when it goes live, then yes, you will need real 1000 DRKs to have a masternode.

Cant decided between pool, cloud, while waiting to be a master node.

Hold on for now Rux, t0o many patches going on. We're on RC2 testnet, using fake DRK's. It won't go live until the 14th.
Look into amazon ec2 t1.micro instances. With a valid credit card, you get a 1 year free service provided you don't exceed the limitations.

From everything I've read, yes, but not 100% certain. They offer 750h per month for the free tier. You can either run

1 instance = 750minuts month
2 instances = 750/2

So better to stick to 1.

Also, other considerations everyone should be aware of.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/gettingstarted/latest/awsgsg-intro/gsg-aws-free-tier-usage-limits.html

EDIT: wow... aparently they count linux and windows separely, so you can have 2 instances with 750mins.. hmm.. must investigate further...

AMIs that are available under the free tier are marked in the Amazon EC2 Launch Wizard as Free Tier Eligible. Both Linux and Microsoft Windows AMIs are available under the free tier. The free tier allotment for Linux and Microsoft Windows instances is counted separately; you can run 750 hours of a Linux t1.micro instance and 750 hours of a Windows t1.micro instance in the free tier each month.

i know this thread is outdated but on another note,
looks like we can mine 750 hours a month using a free Amazon.com service called AWS http://docs.aws.amazon.com/gettingstarted/latest/awsgsg-intro/gsg-aws-deploy-sample-app.html
This video show how in addition to applications they give us, we can deploy a miner application.
750/24 hours a day = 31.25 days! That is 24/7 365 free cloud miner. How Groovy!
Can any help the Dev with a simple tutorial on yje fourms about how we could mine or masternode host Darkcoin 364 days for free with Amazon?

Yes, and we have a great tutorial by chaeplin in 3 parts.

I can't remember, but if you have the 1 or 3 year contract, I believe you can sell it with their system somehow to another user. Haven't looked into it yet though???
