my masternode worked for a couple hours and then it stopped getting masternode rewards after minting a 0.6 reward
i restarted bitcoin2d and it says "staking status": "Staking Active", on the console with "bitcoin2-cli getinfo" but appears as missing on masternodes tab with an error "could not allocate txin"
in coin control i have 1000 btc2 locked and 1000.6 unlocked but i only have 1000 coins. is this normal?
it worked fine for a couple hours, why did it stop working after getting the 0.6 reward?
thanks
No that's not normal. Most likely you failed to lock it properly with the masternode.conf and then the 1000 staked and became immature and no longer equals 1000 and thus is no longer a valid masternode collateral amount. I take it that it is a new attempt at creating a masternode?
If the private key to that masternode BTC2 address is also in use at the web wallet or some other actively staking computer, then that would be the problem.
Even without doing anything wrong per se, it is also possible for the newly transferred 1000 BTC2 to stake before you get the chance to lock it with masternode.conf, if you waited for over an hour since the initial 1000 BTC2 transfer before doing that. You need to restart the wallet after changing masternode.conf for the lock to become effective.
You will need to redo the process of transferring 1000 BTC2 to another new address of yours and so on. (Remove the line at masternode.conf that you created, restart the local wallet and then go back to Step 1 of the guide at
https://www.bitc2.org/bitcoin-2-masternode-guide).
