So i've followed everything to a T. sentinel is running happily (i think) every minute or so. It just says running sentinel and nothing else.
Unfortunately the masternode status still reports watchdog_expired. And yes,I am running the latest wallet and completely reindexed.
Any thoughts?
Running every minute is what it should do, so that fine.
On the WATCHDOG_EXPIRED, try the "when everything fails part". Backup "wallet.dat", close the wallet, remove everything but "wallet.dat" and "desire.conf" under "desirecore" and then restart the wallet.
EDIT: Just seen your update/edit! Glad to read that!
