I got so fed up trying to fix up these issues I destroyed my server. For like the third time. No more trying...
I will now wait until someone provides an updated step by step guide for setting up the mn on a vps with sentinel. Since the issues are solved, I don't think I have to wait long.

I mean a guide for setting up the entire masternode with these sentinel instruction integrated. FOR DUMMIES. I tried that, don't know how to run exes in linux etc. So fuck this. I'll get back to this when there are foolproof instructions. Thank you.
I'll make a new version of sentinel-win64.exe with two options:
1) Run sentinel
2) Fix wallet and masternode (basically all steps automated)
That's better than a "for dummies" guide, isn't it?

and I may have found a BUg
Remember my post about the IP problem
it was solved when i Send additional 10 coins to the 1000 containing wallet
go figure
So you finally got it to work by sending a transaction? That's really weird :/
I want to run a masternode on VPS. I run my wallet on Windows 32bit. Must I install sentinal on my local system? I see only Sentinal howto for Win64.
I compiled sentinel on a Windows x64 machine, so I am afraid it will only work on x64. You might want to try it though, simply run sentinel-win64.exe, if a console pops up and it says something, you are good to go! Otherwise... I don't own a 32 bit windows, next week (can't do it sooner sry) I can setup a virtual machine and do it.
Yes, I received first payment and sent you as acknowledgement. Thank you for your work!
Thank you so much!
