I'd like to test a master node, but I'm not sure that I've got the setup in place to do so right now. 


Regardless of that, I'm trying to get the beta wallet to sync but haven't seen any movement yet from an initial state of "3 weeks behind".  I understand it will be slow,  but I don't have any indicator of movement yet.  I don't see growth in any of the db files in the FootyCashV2 directory.  Is it possible to monitor the state of the sync process in general?


I've also tried to execute the addNode commands in the console, but receive the following return:  Method not found (code -32601)
Commands I tested:
addnode=footycash.com:27017
-addnode=footycash.com:27017
footycash-qt addnode=footycash.com:27017
footycash-qt -addnode=footycash.com:27017



Are there any suggestions or should I just hang tight for now? 

I'm also very disappointed to find that trading has ceased on Cryptopia due to the pending coinswap.  I would like to trade for more FootyCash - will it be possible again before the coin swap?

Thanks


EDIT: 
I was able to get the addnode commands functioning via my system console (PowerShell) with the following command: ".\footycash-qt -addnode=footycash.com:27017" - at least, PowerShell accepted the command/arguments without returning error feedback. 
I have still been unable to observe any changes within the FootyCash GUI. 
I closed and reopened the application and confirmed this to still be the case.
I have also tried the fully qualified address with arguments in the GUI console window; same error as noted above in my original post.

Trying this in the GUI console: 
addnode footycash.com:17017

Returns this message:
