Ok, so the answer to getting it right is to use this: ./darkcoind -masternodeaddr=54.xxx.xxx.xxx:9999 to start your wallet.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to get one of my "54.xxx.xxx.xxx:0" : 1 off the Masternode list and I think that's causing my proper version not to take. Because when I stop my local darkcoind wallet to put it in storage, it disappears of the masternode list (though it's there when my local darkcoind wallet is running) Can anyone think of a way for me to get the incorrect version off the masternode list?
On my other node, it disappeared when I stopped the wallet, and the new one, with the proper port stayed on the list even after I turned my local darkcoind wallet off.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!!!
