Save the output of the last command, this is the

you'll send your ARC to.

Send EXACTLY 1000 ARC this

(`1000.01` from cryptopia)

Then list transaction:
arcticcoin-cli listtransactions

and get the `txid`

```
arcticcoin-cli getbalance
=> 1000.00000000
```

```
arcticcoin-cli goldminenode genkey
=>
arcticcoin-cli stop
nano ~/.arcticcore/arcticcoin.conf
```

And change the file into:
```
server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
goldminenode=1
goldminenodeprivkey=
externalip=
```

Then:
```
arcticcoind -daemon

arcticcoin-cli goldminenode outputs
=> {
  "xxxx": "IDX"
}
```

Wait until your tx has 15 transactions (check with `arcticcoin-cli listtransactions`)

Note the "IDX" value and open the file `~/.arcticcore/goldminenode.conf`.

nano ~/.arcticcore/goldminenode.conf

Add the following line:
```
mn1 :7209
```

Then `arcticcoin-cli goldminenode start`.

Check your goldmine is connected by doing:

```
arcticcoin-cli goldminenode list | grep
  "TXID-IDX": "PRE_ENABLED"
```

After 20-30 min you should see:
```
arcticcoin-cli goldminenode list | grep
  "AAAAA-B": "ENABLED"
```
