Even with the local wallet continuously running, my MN disappears from the list. Is it required to generate a MN key for the remote config file?
I have no idea my wallet is on the server, also my MN just changed to 1 again somehow.

For some odd reason, it shows in the local wallets debug window as active. =1 but on Chaeplins website it's not listed at all.
Edit: I added darkcoin.io:9999 as a node to my local config. That seems to of resolved the issue. As long as the local wallet is never shutdown, it seems to remain in the list.

like literally?
addnode=darkcoin.io:9999 ?
I wonder if 23.23.186.131:9999 would also work maybe? I'll try
EDIT: with 23.23.131:9999 ... server sees 106 MN, and dozens of duplicates. Local sees 66
with darkcoin.io:9999 ... server sees 72 MN, local sees 80
Still can't see mine. Seems local / remote is broken. Evan!! Dont kill the beauty of this setup !!

I have notice that if I "PAT" the 9999 port to my local wallet PC my MN stays alive (status =1). If I remove the "PAT" rule from my router the MN switch to status =0 after 10 mins or so.
So I guess the darkcoin daemon must be accessible from both the local AND the remote machine.
In short:
- Start darkcoind on your remote wallet
- Setup your (home) router so you can reach the 9999 port of your local wallet
- Start darkcoind on your local wallet machine with: "darkcoind -masternodeaddr=<remotewalletip>:9999" followed by
"darkcoind walletpassphrase <passphrase> 60" followed by
"darkcoind masternode start <passphrase>"
- Test your config by scanning the 9999 port of your local wallet machine (using your remote wallet linux): "nmap <localwalletip> -p 9999 -Pn " nmap should return something like: 9999/tcp open
I don't like it but it's better than a dead MasterNode I guess.
Hope this help!

Nope... two days at it and no success at all. With this new update it seems the local IP gets registered, not the server side. So there is no point in having like 10 local VM linux darkcoinds with 1k deposit each, pointing to individual remote server IPs, validating MN status.
It seems, so far in dev, you really need individual physical IP's for each masternode... so I'm setting up my 2 node, 1 in my house, another at my parent's house so I can get 2 distinct public IP's...
This really SUCKS as on testnet this worked like magic. BUT .... Evan knows best and I will not argue with stuff I have no knowledge about.

Well, that remote/local setup works strange...
It all looks like there is 2 separate masternode networks or smth:
When 'grep....' gives me 40+ to 80+ -> my masternodes are shown with 0s in a 'list' command output and are not shown on either http://drk.poolhash.org/masternode.html or http://darkcoin.io/masternodes.txt (but they were with 1s previously - when I did 'darkoind masternode start' - and were listed too).
At the same time once 'grep....' gives me 100+ -> my masternodes are shown with 1 but still aren't shown on those two resources.
I keep grep-ing all day from time to time and masternodes was switching from one state to another without me touching local wallets (they were offline the whole day actually).
That's really confusing...

Well, I have had my wallet with the remote server for over 24 hours and I just checked on it, and one node was off (how did that happen?) and the other on, both on the list with a :0 next to their IP addresses. Looks like this is going to require a ton of monitoring!
Sorry, I don't know.
I have a question. Apparently, when I start my masternode in putty, then close putty, I turn my masternode off. Previously, this didn't happen. There is a difference in behavior though. When I start my darkcoind, it freezes. I have to open another putty to do the masternode command. Previously, turning darkcoind on would not freeze in the window. I need my masternode to run when Putty is closed. My desktop isn't always on, and not reliable to be on at all times. Anybody know what's going on? I'd sure appreciate any help anyone can give! Thanks so much

Are you starting your darkcoind witth 'darkcoind -daemon' ?Sorry, I don't know.

nope, what does that do please?
I'm having a second problem. Since I've been sick with the flu, my mind is extra muddled, so I've been going back and forth on this, but my password is not working when I try to unlock my darkcoind wallet. I can use my password in QT both in Linux and in Windows, but when I try remote Linux darkcoind, it says I'm using an incorrect password. I've triple checked now, and the pass phrase works everywhere else. So strange!
Thanks for your help though! I was trying with screen to see if that would do it. I'll try now with -daemon
Well, hopefully the -daemon flag will keep my node running after I close putty, but it isn't helping me with my password problem. Strangest thing! I've checked many times to make sure my wallets have the correct passwords, that they work in QT, but I get a rejected password when I try to unlock it.

-daemon will run it in the background.
When entering your password in the command line just put it between ' ' (singelquotes) like this:
darkcoind walletpassphrase '[email protected]' 60
This ill ensure that bash is not trying to interpret any special characters contained inside of your password

Humm, I've always used double quotes. Anyway, I changed my password. I think, though I put it in quotes, the wallet didn't like the password I made. It probably was one of the symbols I used. It was ok in QT but not in darkcoind. Anyway, thank you for your help and for teaching me about -daemon All is working now
All is working now
double quotes will can attempt to expand some of the characters that are used in your password, the single quotes will take it at a face value, example:
Code:
host:~$ test="this is a test"
host:~$ echo $test
this is a test
host:~$ echo "$test"
this is a test
host:~$ echo '$test'
$testlook at that graph now http://drk.poolhash.org/masternode.html
it's a mess for the past few hours
EDIT: btw, is it ok to run 0.9.4.6 and not 0.10.8.6 RC2 as masternode?

No, if you wanna run masternode you need the 10.8.6look at that graph now http://drk.poolhash.org/masternode.html

Thanks!
EDIT: but... isn't this info http://drk.poolhash.org/masternode.html irrelevant then? cause it's running on 0.9.4.6....

TIME TO RESTART MASTERNODES -- FROM EVAN AT BITCOINTALK (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg6894984#msg6894984):
well, did that "masternode restart" thing and now my masternodes are off of the official list and are on some another one which has 119 nodes
that pastebin note shows the difference between the official list and the one I have now

Same here. And I'm seeing a lot of these error messages in the log, not sure if related:
ProcessMessage(dsee, 175 bytes) FAILED
I am having this same issue for days, like in 4 different nodes. I just went back to having only one until everything is clear. But I am glad to know I am not the only one with this issue.
Hi,
Yesterday morning, I change my Amazon EC2 instance for an Elastic IP, so my public IP changed. (and I changed my externalip on darkcoin.conf)
Today, I stop my masternode like Evan say, for an hour to be sure,
and my old IP is still on http://darkcoin.io/masternodes.txt
and my new IP is still on http://drk.poolhash.org/darksend.html
Can I do something? Thx

According to Evan, if you update to 10.8.6, delete peers.dat, wait 10 min & restart the client & masternode, you should be ok. The "ProcessMessage(dsee, 175 bytes) FAILED" errors are apparently due to other masternodes on the network that are still running the old version.
The count line with the count of masternodes in http://drk.poolhash.org/darksend.html still shows a few masternodes going in and out. I think that most of us have had our problems along the way and are not sure about if ours are working ok. To avoid everyone restarting them all the time and making further noise in the network, it would be nice it someone could analyse which IPs are the ones that go in an out so the owners of those masternodes would know its them and the others can stop. I'm not sure where the info comes from, but with the log where the graph takes the info from it should be relatively easy. I'm sure chaeplin is super busy patching code all around, but if he could provide the log maybe some of us could jump into that.
stupid question here, but i want to setup two MNs with local/remote setup. I have one going, but since the local QT wallet needs to be open for the MN to stay active, do I need to install a second local QT client and have that started for the second MN? If so, can i share the location of the blockchain data so that I don't need to download it twice? I know I can use the -datadir switch to tell it where to look, but then how do I tell the second local QT wallet where to find the second wallet (to be used for the second MN), since the wallet seems to be stored in the same directory as the blockchain data? Thanks!

Sorry to ask this, but when do the actual payments begin? Wondering, I was told the 25th...then the 24th...
I can't find an official announcement. What time? And which day?
I ask because, as most of us will feel the same I'm sure - I want to make sure everything is working, but I can't until I know I'm supposed to be getting payments.
Sorry to sound rude - I swear it isn't meant to. I love this community and coin - have been gone a while busy with other things - but am still here in the background.
