Thanks for the replies. I was guessing I didn't need to have the wallet open - otherwise what's the point of the VPS? Might as well run it on my PC.
So if I can see it in
http://explorer.tokugawacoin.com/masternode then its ok? Even if the active time (hrs) is 00:00:00?
Also if I check the masternode status in the debug window it says "status" : 0,
Shouldn't that be "status" : 1, if it's working ok?
