So I have been getting WATCHDOG_EXPIRED when trying to start masternode on Windows.
I read that I need sentinel (it's very hard to find any windows instructions for it.)
I setup Sentinel the best I could figure out, when I run the shortcut that links to the vivo.conf file I'm getting this error:
[Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
Cannot connect to desired. Please ensure desired is running and the JSONRPC port is open to Sentinel.
How do I fix this?
My vivo.conf looks like this:
rpcuser=USER
rpcpassword=PASS
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=PRIVATE_KEY_HERE
externalip=PUBLIC_IP_HERE
What am I doing wrong?
If anyone would like to walk me through it on Telegram I could toss some ETH your way, message me.
config see that ure pass has nr's to
rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
server=1
rpcport=9998
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=
externalip= (ip found by typing whats my ip in google):12845
first start sentinel then it says no connection then waiting for sync then when block index is sync start mn normally it starts. I had the same problem trying to redo my steps made for starting.
