Fixed the binding error on the HLMMN wallet. Made all edits for ip and ports etc, listen =1 and it works fine.
After editing the masternode.conf file for the local controller wallet EXACTLY as shown in set-up instructions
The wallet will not launch....I get this pop up error message...
Error reading masternode configuration file: could not parse masternode.conf Line 1 "MN1"
The set-up guide says this is "The name (masternode_alias) you gave your masternode:"
Well I did not name my Masternode anything when I installed the wallet (probably why it won't parse it.)
and cannot for the life of me figure out how or where to set this "masternode_alias" field to "MN1" .
back to staking...derp
When you create your masternode, you enter a command "getaccountaddress MN1" (or you replace MN1 with anything you want, call yours DERP1 if you want to). That getaccountaddress command gives you the address you send your collateral to, but it also tells your wallet the name of your masternode. That is how you name your masternode. Then the masternode.conf file references that same name. Your masternode.conf file will then have a line that says "MN1 129.125.72.152:9009 YOURPRIVATEKEY MASTERNODEOUTPUT TXID" only those last three variables are replaced by whatever your values are. That's it. You might be making it harder than it actually needs to be.
