If you get an error when starting your shellnode follow these steps:
- shut down the wallet
- change masternode=1 to masternode=0 in conf file and start wallet again
- send the 25,000 SHELLS to a "fresh address" in your wallet. And in console use: dumpprivkey "fresh address" to get the masternodeprivkey
- copy the new privkey and shut the wallet down
- in conf change the mastenodeprivkey to the new key you just got and masternode=0 back to masternode=1
- start the wallet back up
- make sure you have 7 confirms on your masternode address and in console type: masternode start
