dash.conf vs masternode.conf

[nightowl]

Hi Guys

I could probably figure this out myself but posting here in case someone else runs into this. The current documentation can be a bit confusing.

The current docs for setting up a masternode all talk about adding your masternode key to dash.conf in the following format

masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=7xsdfklj234lkj23l4kj23l4kjxxxxx
masternodeaddr=x.x.x.x:9999

Now a bunch of posts mentioned masternode.conf and that voting tool from github looks really cool. It also needs masternodes.conf

I looked at masterconf.conf and I can guess what collateral_output_txid is (that would be the TXid of your 1000 Deposit), but collateral_output_index stumps me a bit and I need some help please.

masternode.conf need when you want to ovte and this is the way we will go with the config file in the future.

This is only the example, check this tx:

The 1000 output has the index "0"

Check the address in the blockchain http://explorer.dash.org/chain/Dash for getting your index

I was under the impression that the masternode.conf was used for when you are running more than 1 remote masternode and are using a controller wallet to hold the coin deposits in a secure manner.
