Another issue I had on testnet, that worries me a bit... is that I had 100k tDRKs, and I send just a few tDRK out ... and even with excess funds it touched my tMasternode 1k deposit.

Are you saying some of the 1k DRK you deposited for a masternode was used in a transaction and messed up your masternode setup?

If that is the case you need to enable the "Coin Control" options in your client. It allows you to select which inputs you use to make transactions. Make sure you deselect the address with the 1,000.00 DRK for your masternode. That way it won't get messed with. Alternatively, you can generate a new, "cold storage" address and use it. Save the private key somewhere secure. Whenever you finally decide to spend/move the 1k DRK you can import the priv. key into your client and use it like any other address...

Wow, I have not noticed 'Coin control' options, because I use cli.

Thank you ^^ DRKLord.

Precisely. Will have to look into in better! Mind having a look anyway at my issue?
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rc3-prelaunch-testing.1523/page-7#post-9820

This was standard procedure from long ago, I just stuck to it. Maybe I need to review my 1k funding procedure?
EDIT: just saw chaeplin's post. Also on CLI, but will read up on it.

Hey guys, i'm having a strange "problem":

i got new ip address from ISP. so i move my Maternodes from old IP address to new ones. (in the main net not test net). I don't change any setting which is working perfect well on the old ip except the LOCAL config file that point to the new REMOTE masternode ip address. In President's Masternode list, some of my Masternode shows in new ip address, some shows in old address. Even strange is that: one of my masternode should be showed in NEW IP address but not. It got paid still.....

All of my masternode version are: 10.11.4 (i will update today to 10.11.5)

My question is: should i need to generate new privkey when i change new ip address?

Thanks in advanced.

This maybe related to know bug #7 - the caching of IP/pubkey entries was to agressive and led to problems when reusing old masternodeprivkey with new IP. I don't know if Evan already sorted that out to the fullest, but as not all masternodes/pools have updated to 0.x.11.5 yet, the masternodelist still gets polluted by old entries.

So to answer your question: Yes, new IP --> new masternodeprivkey to avoid caching problems in network.

as I have had a couple of node 'misbehaving' for no apparent reason, I did generate a new key.. but I still have a problem. My own node said I misbehaved.
Use case:
Node is marked as misbehaving
stop node, stop EC2
start ec2 and retrieve new IP
edit conf file with new IP
start masternode.. still misbehavs
generate new key, edit conf file with new key
stop darkcoind, start darkcoind
start masternode..
results:

Before the second fork attempt, I converted my hot running nodes to cold nodes. First one worked no problems.

But the other two had problems. They launched fine, and showed correctly on the masternode pages. But then they shortly showed as unlisted.
I managed to fix them by getting them new IP's (if on EC2 restart them)......be SURE to change your IP in the darkcoind.conf file. I also made a new wallet and sent the 1000DRK over.
So new IP, and new wallet address. Touch wood, have been running okay since. Your problem might be different not sure, I seemed to be banned either by IP or wallet address. Getting new on both did the trick.

Hey eduffield , just with the new x.x.5 release, I'm just wondering if you can let us know what errors we can expect in the logs (and should just ignore) and which ones we shouldn't.

I'm assuming the imputs already spend for 54.244.103.227:9999 (not mine) means the Dark has been moved off? Just wondering if the above looks good. Cheers Evan

I noticed two of my masternodes got payments at 9am, but nothing since. Show correctly on the MN pages though.

Hey this may be a very stupid question but anyway.
If I start a normal client on a windows machine with my masternode wallet that contains the 1000 DRK plus the extra DRK i have earned from the payments, will that interfer with the masternode? lets say the config on the windows machine is default and I'm using the -qt version.
Follow up on that, if I have 1003.32 DRK in that wallet and send 3 DRK to someone, how will that affect the masternode? Lets say it stays above 1000 DRK.

Basically what I'm asking, can I send the excess DRK from the wallet without affecting the masternode in any way? And can I start the gui wallet on another machine at the same time.
Thanks all!

I've updated all my MN to New IP and New Prive key with version 10.11.5.
most of the MN are working smooth and perfect. but here is my problem:

one of my masternode with ip (xxx.xxx .xxx.166) which setup and running well (its old IP was xxx.xxx.xxx.198). but it showed on Presiden's Masternode list as 198. and it's 166 on elbzo.net.
i've repeat several time to setup this MN and everytime with new generated privkey. i'm preety sure all the operations are correct. and everytime i got the massage from both Local/Remot :successfully started masternode

So did i make some mistake or it's just cache problem? and the only thing is waiting? (i've waiting about 8 hours since MN setup.)

For me it's just a caching problem, whereas i can understand that this may cause a feeling of discomfort.
But regardless of what entry (198 or166) is in the lists: As long as either of them is in the list you should be fine.

Only way to get a cleanroom setup would be to

- get a new IP for hot masternode
- generate a new cold wallet.dat
- transfer 1000DRK to it
- generate new masternodeprivkey and copy to hot masternode
- start new masternode

That way no traces of old setup should be left in the masternodelist-cache thoughout the network.

Many Thanks flare.

i will keep that MN running this weekend in case there may some "problem" that helps for debugging and see what will happen in the Masternode list then.

So, the coins matured and i sent 1.0012 from the wallet, but i missed to substract the fee :rolleyes:

Result: 1.0012 DRK transferred, 0.001 DRK fee spent --> 999.999DRK left in masternode wallet --> immediatly marked as inactive...

So, result as expected, but not what i wanted :rolleyes:

Let's see how to reactivate this node :)
Yeah... I dont get the fees also. On linux, I'm yet to have a fee charged. On my mac, sending 1k, I always send 1000.xx so I'm sure any fees deduced make 1k get there. But to this day, I've never been charged fees when sending 1k+... then from darkcoind I send exactly 1k to my address "0" (I know its not required anymore, but I got into that habbit for method). Never had a fee deduced.

From the QT, when I send 0.xx DRKs... I almost always get a message "exceeds limit", and asks me if I want to pay a fee.

flare, send a few DRK crumb over, create a new address and send 1k to it. 6 confirms and should be good to go.
OK, i received a new matured MN payment and this time i used the QT coin control features to select the input to transfer, substracted the 0.001 fee - and it worked: The 1000DRK vin was not touched/changed, only the MN payment tx output was used as new tx input and the masternode is still active.

I guess the CLI does not have a convenient way of choosing the input for a transfer and you have to mess around with rawtransactions :rolleyes:

Good to hear, but never done that before. Time to pick up new tricks. Just when I was getting really comfy with CLI :tongue:

Hi chaeplin, of course: XhqYLWmpAjsFUGEGeVwdtrRgjoat3qaNXk
if you need more information, just let me know.

BTW: you can find the Sum Number of the MN should be 7 (China). but it shows in the pie chart is 8.
I have found a bug in nm listing. Thank you.

Still no payments. No Errors in debug.log and my ip appears in all lists. Is the payment random? Or should I have been paid already. Anyone (ip: appears also in https://elbzo.net/masternodes.html and https://www.darkcoin.io/masternodes.txt) My setup is as described in http://planetcrypton.com/install-darkcoin-daemon
No payments on my 4 masternodes either. I updated to 10.11.5 as soon as it came out and generated new privkeys for them all about an hour ago, they are now and always have been all green on chaeplins list.

Guess I'll just have to be patient...
