Enable "Coin Control (experts only)" in options, then go to Send, then click "Inputs". This will show you the current state of the collateral TX, which needs to be exactly 30M. You may need to re-do the setup.
Yes you can't stake and run a masternode at the same time because it blows up. You have to lock the wallet after starting the node.
Dear btc22,
Thank you for your help.
I will re-do the setup andmake sure I have exactly 30M in the wallet.
If I unlock the wallet it gives an option "Staking only". I assume I have to de-select that option.
Should I put staking=0 in the wallet conf?
Once the masternode is started, the wallet needs to be locked completely. You can try the staking=0 option, I just keep the wallet locked and then it doesn't break. I have a separate wallet on another computer for staking.
Hi,
Followed your advice and it all seems to work now. Thanks!
Is there a way I can make sure the masternode works and is seen (I cannot see it (yet) on masternode.pro)?
I'm not 100% sure how to do it in windows wallet, but I think you can do this in your debug console:
masternode list
..and then look for your IP
Or from Linux command line:
Lindad masternode list | grep
If you see your IP with " : 1" after it, then you're MN is enabled and on the network.
All seems to work. Thanks for the help
