Hello,
I like to run a masternode on my desktop. I do not want to have a vps at this point and like to keep it all on my PC. The question is:
Do I need to do anything after creating the mn private key or just keep the client running?
Right now you can do that, but we will be removing that ability soon. You will need to keep the whole masternode/client running all the time to get rewards. If it goes down for an hour then you are moved to the end of the reward line and it usually takes about twice as long to get the first reward.
After somes time. my wallet still show:
WATCHDOG_EXPIRED and
https://masternodes.online show WATCHDOG_EXPIRED
How to i can fix it in automatic mode?
Voting manually on the watchdog_expired isn't really going to do you any good over the long run. Here is the windows version of Sentinel.
