Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? These are the steps I've taken so far.

Step 1: I have 2 VPS's one is ubuntu 16.04 and one is 16.10. Both have Forknote .tar.gz downloaded and extracted.

Step 2: On my personal computer (ubuntu 16.04),I used http://forknote.net/create/ to create a premine coin1.config file. This coin1.conf file does not have any wallet addresses, but includes the genesis tx hex created by the "Create Cryptonote blockchain" form.

Step 3: Before creating the blockchain, I create the premine wallet addresses using the coin1.conf file created in step 2. I use the "Creating simplewallet addresses" instructions from here: http://forknote.net/guides/setup-private-blockchain/

Step 4: I create a new coin2.conf file, using the Forknote form http://forknote.net/create/, this includes the addresses created in step 3 and a new genesis tx hex created by the "Create Cryptonote blockchain" form.

Step 5: I setup both nodes using coin2.conf following the steps here: http://forknote.net/guides/starting-seed-node/

Step 6: I create-the-blockchain/start-the-daemon on my personal computer using coin2.conf. At this point I get "2017-Dec-24 05:03:42.104763 WARNING [95.183.52.40:39431 INC] Exception in connectionHandler: TcpConnection::read" on the first node before the other node is on, once the other node is on it syncs up.

Step 7: I open a new terminal on my personal computer and run This is where the problem is, I get

What am I doing wrong?
