Can someone tell me which programs I need to run a master node on Windows 7? I have over 500 coins and I want to put them to use ASAP. I tried going through the guide on the community site, but I couldn't completely figure it out. Maybe we can put together a simpler guide or method?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=997356.msg11126733#msg11126733there is the general guide.
Use the adrenaline tab which does most of it automatically and you just copy the config out of getconfig button. change a few things and it works fine. Run it through tor you do not want people to have your Ip. Add nodes the config file. if only using tor nodes only add tor ones from the masternode list.
If you have TOR you can either connect only to tor nodes:
./crave-qt -onlynet=Tor -listen=0 -irc=0 -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -addnode=d5jxp6ajbjbrpdhd.onion:30108
Or connect to it as well as normal nodes:
./crave-qt -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -tor=127.0.0.1:9050 -addnode=d5jxp6ajbjbrpdhd.onion:30108
they are added to a shortcut exe
this is helpful as well
