Hello all. I set up my masternode yesterday on a vps with a wallet on my local machine holding the coins. Everytime i restart my system, my masternode active since time is reset to 0. Can someone confirm if this is regular? My masternode is in enabled status and i havent received any coins until now. its been 15 hours since i set up the masternode
The master node needs to stay up and running 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Since the master node get in line to receive rewards every time you restart your computer your master node moves to the back of the line waiting for it's reward. That is why most are on VPS or just do not restart your computer unless it is needed.
The problem is I have set it up in a vps. how do i make sure my cold wallet is linked to the vps wallet?
To me, the whole idea of having two wallets, one controlling wallet on your local PC to control you MN wallet on VPS is extremely confusing. Why can't we just setup one wallet on VPS and collect coins to it directly, as it is done with other MN coins, or can we?
As I understand, this setup is useful when you have several MNs setup on various VPSs. This way you can manage them from you local PC wallet and collect payments from all MNs to one place. Great idea, but that would be nice and secure if it would not require to keep you local PC wallet up 24/7. MNs on VPSs are 24/7, then why bother monitoring your local PC wallet? Open it up only when you want to see how many rewards were collected. Currently it seems that we need to have BOTH wallets up 24/7 in order to properly receive reward, or again, need we?
You can do it on one PC/VPS.
