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
I setup a masternode the other day for a different coin. It should work the same.
The big settings are the config file on the PC's wallet config file and masternode file. Then the config file for the masternode itself. If your sure everything is typed correctly. Go to the wallet on your pc and to the masternode tab and start the alias. That should activate the masternode.
