Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW

Amazon ECC is surely the way to go, whilst keeping the 1000 DRK in an offline wallet, I think I've seen dev say it is, is that right?

Speaking of Amazon masternodes, does anyone know if chaeplin's guide is up to date right now? I'm busy so havent been able to follow any changes to setting up masternodes

https://darkcointalk.org/threads/how-to-set-up-ec2-t1-micro-ubuntu-for-masternode-part-2-3.241/

No, since the latest update, you must also create a masternode private key.

at the beginning of step 15, do this before anything else:

Code:

darkcoind masternode genkey

Save the output you get from this and add it to this part of step 15

Code:

cat >> ~/.darkcoin/darkcoin.conf << EOF
#------------
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=[output from genkey]
addnode=23.23.186.131
#----------
EOF

I believe that will get you going.

Note: if you already have

Code:

masternode=1

set in your darkcoin.conf, you will need to change it to

Code:

masternode=0

before the genkey command will work. If you are starting from scratch, you should be fine because the masternode= key isn't defined yet and defaults to =0.

Hope that helps

Well that saves me digging through the thread, thank you so much for that Grin
