How do I setup a masternode (Quark)?

[EndCiv]

Use the following instructions to setup a masternode for a quark based coin.

Make sure that you have the following requirements.

- The required amount of SLACK to setup the masternode. (10,000)
- A wallet to store your coins.
- A server or VPS.

The instructions are split into three (3) sections.

Setup the control wallet (Part 1 of 2)

Open your wallet and wait until the wallet has downloaded the complete blockchain.

Go to “Tools”.
Click “Debug console”.
This is the console where you will execute all commands.

Create a masternode private key.

masternode genkey

Example output: 75eqvNfaEfkd3YTwQ3hMwyxL2BgNSrqHDgWc6jbUh4Gdtnro2Wo

Show your collateral address.

getaccountaddress "masternode"

Example output: Nad4xtgdwf7c5y45ruy5MWtVY43zYMCvva

Keep note of the masternode private key and the collateral address.

rpcuser=rpc_examplecoin  # What are you needed for..
pcpassword=kuw05sqio7bcm8z96o7redv17xws1lw6xpd1qf33
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
maxconnections=64

masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=REPLACE_WITH_MASTERNODE_PRIVATE_KEY # stuff from 'masternode genkey'
externalip=REPLACE_WITH_EXTERNAL_IP_OF_VPS

Start your node with the following command.

./examplecoind &

===='////,===='////,===='////,===='////,====

Setup the control wallet (Part 2 of 2)

Transfer the required amount of coins to the “collateral address” that you created using the command “getaccountaddress "masternode1"”.

Wait until the transaction has the required masternode confirmations.

Go to Tools.
Click Debug console.

Enter the following command.

masternode outputs

Example output

[
  {
    "txhash": "429a5caf40178d6911ab71e61d6952a6cec8710405d8dc912d8e8a760a2ba24c",
    "outputidx": 1
  }
]


Go to “Tools”.
Click “Open Masternode Configuration File”.

Modify the following line and paste it into notepad.

masternode xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx 75eqvNfaEfkd3YTwQ3hMwyxL2BgNSrqHDgWc6jbUh4Gdtnro2Wo 429a5caf40178d6911ab71e61d6952a6cec8710405d8dc912d8e8a760a2ba24c 1

masternode - Alias for your masternode.

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - External IP of your VPS.

xxxx - Replace with P2P port of your coin.

75eqvNfaEfkd3YTwQ3hMwyxL2BgNSrqHDgWc6jbUh4Gdtnro2Wo - Masternode private key from the command “masternode genkey”.

429a5caf40178d6911ab71e61d6952a6cec8710405d8dc912d8e8a760a2ba24c - Value “txhash” from the command “masternode outputs”.

1 - Value “outputidx” from the command “masternode outputs”.

Save the file and close editor.

Shutdown your wallet and re-open your wallet.

Go to “Settings”.
Click “Unlock Wallet”, If it was encrypted.

Enter your wallet passphrase and unlock your wallet.

Go to “Tools”.
Click “Debug console”.

Start your masternode using the command.

startmasternode alias false masternode1

It will take +/- 30 minutes to activate your masternode.

After you finish the above you still need to go back to the local client, click the masternode tab, then at the bottom click Start All, or start alias, depending if you want to start them all or not...

Then the status of your MN should change to ENABLED...
