Re: [ANN] CRAVE 0.52M, Dark Assets = Embrace The Dark = MASTERNODE HARDFORK APR 8

Hello Crave community , I just bought 670 crave and I'm now looking to set up a masternode. I'm a noob when it comes to this so this might be a stupid question, but can I run a masternode on my windows 8 PC, or do I need to install Linux? If so, how do I go about and set it up?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Sent Sologap a PM, he will be able to set u up. Or you can do it yourself, there is a guide here somewhere if you read back some pages.

Ok, Thanks, I will PM him.

I did find a guide on the Crave Website, but it looks like it's only Linux and it looks too advanced for me: http://www.cravecoin.info/master-node-guide/

So I guess it cannot be set up on Windows?

say thanks to whomever posted this guide Wink

Start up and sync your wallet.
Open debug console, type: masternode genkey
Copy output key into a text file to be used later
Then, in debug console type: getaccountaddress 0
Copy output address into a text file to be used later
Send 500 CRAVE to address output above, no more, no less. Exactly 500.
Close Wallet
Create/Edit crave.conf:
Code:
maxconnections=100
rpcuser=solo
rpcpassword=user
rpcport=9999
gen=0
server=1
daemon=1
reservebalance=9999999
masternodeaddr=YOUR_IP:9999
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=KEY GENERATED BY COMMAND
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

Save
Wait 15 blocks (see confirmations from wallet you sent 500 CRAVE)
To start masternode wallet, open debug console and type: masternode start

EDIT: don't forget to lock your win wallet so it doesn't stake!

All went well, up until I typed in 'masternode start'. I'm getting the following error:

"not capable masternode: Could not connect to 112.198.79.181:9999"

I know the software firewall has given full access to the wallet and when I type 'netstat -a' in my Command Prompt it shows that it's listening to port 9999, so I would think it is open, but maybe I'm overlooking something here. Could it have something to do with my router or my internet service provider?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My router was my problem, so I'd blame the router. Go to your router's setup and enable DMZ for your computer to access that IP without router blocking you.
