hey big_coin
if you joined the DMD slack channel you can access the masternodes pdf guide.
it's in the #masternodesetupguide channel.
I believe you will find your solution there.
I can see the VPS section and the masternode.conf file and what needs to be done.
I think you should read through it.
Do you have something like this in your masternode.conf file
MN1 :17771
done that.
remember i ran masternode in testnet with ZERO issues.
this is major bug in wallet i think, as all suggestions have been tried.
Is there a way to force wallet to output detailed debug info ?
I need to see exactly why wallet think the IP address is bad when in reality it is correct and the linus node is 100% fine.
thanks all.
100 DMD still up for grabs
