Re: [ANN] Exclusive Coin EXCL - MasterNodes, ProofOfStake, 3 years old!
this is going to be a quick and slightly messy post 
i'm not going in depth to how you do each step, so hopefully you can work it out or someone else can expand it
it uses the exclusivecoind.exe which is the command line wallet, no gui, so you send it rpc calls to interact with it.
a basic method to address the seeming issue where running multiple masternode with a single exclusivecoin instance is problematic, they stop after a while.
i use a workaround in linux where i setup a cronjob to restart them every 15 minutes.
the basic format is
to replicate this in windows you need a couple basic steps, not to mention setting up yr actual masternodes.
1) you need the exclusivecoind.exe available here https://github.com/exclfork/ExclusiveCoin/tree/master/releases
to run the coind the exclusivecoin.conf file will need
in the bat file, will be a simple loop to send a command to the exclusivecoind.exe
1- download the file,
make sure you added rpcuser/rpcpassword to your .conf file
to run you will need a command prompt, cd to where file is located
2- in a windows explorer navigate to where you want the bat file to run (mine is in same location as coind.exe),
right click > create new text file
rename to "whatever.bat"
right click file > edit
done.
now you can send rpc commands to the coind in the first command window while the second just loops until you close it.
if yr masternodes stop due to the "issue", then every 15 minutes (900 seconds) the command to start-many should kick them back into life.
NOTE.
you cannot run the qt-wallet and teh coind at the same time unless you use seperate datadirectories.

Code:
start /b exclusivecoind.exe
using "start" means it will run in background so you can interface with it eg. "exclusivecoind.exe getinfo"2- in a windows explorer navigate to where you want the bat file to run (mine is in same location as coind.exe),
right click > create new text file
rename to "whatever.bat"
right click file > edit
Code:
:loop
exclusivecoind.exe masternode start-many
timeout /t 900 /nobreak
goto :loop
open another command terminal, navigate to where the bat file is then start it.exclusivecoind.exe masternode start-many
timeout /t 900 /nobreak
goto :loop
Code:
whatever.bat
