Save the output of the last command, this is the you'll send your ARC to.
Send EXACTLY 1000 ARC this (`1000.01` from cryptopia)
Then list transaction:
arcticcoin-cli listtransactions
and get the `txid`
```
arcticcoin-cli getbalance
=> 1000.00000000
```
```
arcticcoin-cli goldminenode genkey
=>
arcticcoin-cli stop
nano ~/.arcticcore/arcticcoin.conf
```
And change the file into:
```
server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
goldminenode=1
goldminenodeprivkey=
externalip=
```
Then:
```
arcticcoind -daemon
arcticcoin-cli goldminenode outputs
=> {
"xxxx": "IDX"
}
```
Wait until your tx has 15 transactions (check with `arcticcoin-cli listtransactions`)
Note the "IDX" value and open the file `~/.arcticcore/goldminenode.conf`.
nano ~/.arcticcore/goldminenode.conf
Add the following line:
```
mn1 :7209
```
Then `arcticcoin-cli goldminenode start`.
Check your goldmine is connected by doing:
```
arcticcoin-cli goldminenode list | grep
"TXID-IDX": "PRE_ENABLED"
```
After 20-30 min you should see:
```
arcticcoin-cli goldminenode list | grep
"AAAAA-B": "ENABLED"
```
