If you run the controller/mn, 2 different wallets but same machine setup you have to add to the configs (helium.conf) the
rpcport command and specify different rpcports for two wallets (controller/mn) else you get an error that the rpc could not be binded.
For example on Controller Wallet:
rpcuser=long random username
rpcpassword=longer random password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=xxxx (a port number different from MN port and MN rpcport) --> for example rpcport=2222
listen=0 --> this line is not mandatory
server=1 --> this line is not mandatory
daemon=1 --> this line is not mandatory
logtimestamps=1 --> this line is not mandatory
maxconnections=256 --> this line is not mandatory
While on MN Wallet:
rpcuser=long random username
rpcpassword=long random password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=2223
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
masternode=1
externalip=Your_PUBLIC_IP
bind=Your_INTERNAL_IP
masternodeaddr=Your_PUBLIC_IP:9009
masternodeprivkey=YOUR_MN_PRIV_KEY
No,wasnt me on slack unfortunately.
This possible solution looks promising though not holding breath.I actually did have a binding error
(See earlier reply) that I fixed.
Anyway will try this when home tonite. Thanx for all your replies mate.
Ill let you know result.
(later...)
RESULT...
exactly what I expected, lol...ie... can now open both wallets with added rpcport setting edits. (at least I made progress)
BUT same thing...error cannot parse 'MN1" when trying to launch controller wallet (with edited masternode.conf file.)
more derps...
Do the 1000 coins reside in the controller wallet or masternode wallet..or does it matter? I know... I'm just like shooting in the dark here.
If (and at this point.... a mighty big "if") I ever get this sussed, I'll throw a huge block party with free beer, fireworks
and of course Helium balloons to make our voices squeaky while watching the fireworks show.
