Hello, I need help setting up a masternode, I've been trying for a while and I always get "failed" after trying masternode start-alias. 

This is how my conf file looks like:
rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
masternode=1
server=1
rpcport=26260 (I changed this one to this number, tried with 99914, same result)
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
masternodeprivkey=
externalip= (this is the IP i got from the link in masternode tutorial)

Masternode file:
NewNode:1947 (tried with dots too, no difference)

1

What am I doing wrong here? I tried with a lot of small changes in formats(spaces, dots, no dots, "", etc, nothing helps)

Also, is there any bounty reward for having a GOA signature here on BitcoinTalk? Thanks!
