Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW, Darksend and InstantX
Moocowmoo can you please explain how to use dashman to vote for multiple MN?
I assume it must be done on the cold-wallet machine that you would normally "start-many" from. I'm pretty paranoid about installing ANYTHING other than QT on my cold wallet machine, since the current MN start protocol still requires private keys to be stored directly on a networked computer. However, MN voting appears to be marginally less risky since the wallet passphrase is not required, so I might be amenable to try dashman on the cold wallet machine for multiple MN voting.
Alternatively, could there be a (safe) way to, on a single hot node, create a conf using multiple masternode genkeys to link them and issue the vote command from there?

You don't need fund-controlling keys to vote, you only need the masternodeprivkeys contained within your masternode.conf file. You can move it to any wallet and use that wallet to vote.
(to clarify, the masternodeprivkeys within masternode.conf don't control funds, only identity, hence votes)
In fact, the same holds true for issuing start-many -- which I recommend against due to the timestamps being all set the same, the whole reason I made dashvote.
So, just startup any old dashd (funds not required) and place your masternode.conf and dash-cli in your $HOME/.dash folder. Add ~/.dash to your path by running "export PATH=~/.dash:$PATH" and then you can run dashman to vote.
Let me know if you have any questions!
