Great, there is instructions. I'll give it a shot this weekend. Which port and how do I validate that the node is running?
P2P, port 1141 forwarding is sometimes needed for home network routers, but you can most likely ignore that for most VPS setups. Following the instructions should get you up and running.
You can validate it is running by issuing the command:
./sterlingcoind getinfo
Get ahold of me in the slack when you are working on it. I will gladly help.
