Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency
Did you check your masternode tab on the new qt wallet where you have your masternode.conf?
Heh - I checked it a day or two back, marveled at its elegance, and then forgot all about it. Looking at it again now I saw it reporting "status ENABLED" while the wallet was syncing, then "WATCHDOG EXPIRED" once it synced. I pressed the "Start Alias" button (hey, this is way easier than doing it with console commands) and got a message that the MN had started. My earlier attempts through the console had all reported failure to start. The "WATCHDOG EXPIRED" status is still on (needs a mouseover explanation?) and the masternode.me stats still say don't say 12.1 a few minutes and refreshes later, but I think things may be OK. I'll keep an eye on it. Now to do my other 100 MNs (I wish).
Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks, oly1. Some of that is what I'd hope to see in a popup, so people don't have to chase down a link. A question that doesn't have to be asked doesn't have to be answered, kind of thing.
I think some of the specific content (re Sentinel) doesn't seem to apply to people who use moocowmoo's remote MN hosting service though - I may be wrong - that's my central issue, actually.
In any case, I'll wait a while (Sunday?) then check my status with moocowmoo if it doesn't sort itself out before then.
a few things to remember when starting your masternode from local (cold) wallet :
* local wallet will need a re-index too
* masternode.conf will need to have an externalip address (for example externalip=123.123.123.123)
* issue masternode start-alias yrmasternodelabelfromyourmasternode.conf passwordphrase
(appearently masternode start-missing is for version updates, when your masternode is still payment-ranked on the network and masternode start-alias is for protocol updates or when you are totally kicked off the network)
