I'm thinking about buying some coins, aiming for a masternode,

Should I run the node with the pre-release wallet 2.004 or latest stable 2.003?

I understand, I wasn't asking him personally per-say, anyone is welcome to answer this question.

Moreover, there are people who are hoarding ITZ in large quantities. I was in top20 ITZ wallets two weeks ago but I have been recently pulled down to ca 70th place in the richlist. Significant changes in richlist are a good sign for Interzone! 

Your wallet will stake (the tick icon will turn GREEN) when your coins mature.

However, your ability to receive stake rewards depends on the amount of coins that you already have in your wallet. MASTERNODES is MUCH MORE PROFITABLE for receiving substantial rewards, with a 10,000 BTDX balance.

How to stake BTDX??? Thanks?

I sort of rolled the dice with this project about a month ago, and the masternodes have been very stable, and the price is up. Glad I got in. Hope we can see some marketing for use cases... why not? It's as good as any masternode coin out there short of Dash with the strong brand. There are many unbanked people in the world.... maybe we can target a country that needs a currency.

I'm a Noob here - have some questions :
1- if I have a 10,000 bitcloud - I can set up my computer to be a master node - and it will generate an estimated 60btdx a day. Is this correct?  

2-is there a halfing of the reward the masternodes receive in the future- trying to understand - how this could be a no brainer- A) get two master nodes B) by month 7, Have 7 Masternodes. And so on and so on - the daily earn for 7 masternodes is 420 btdx or $420 - at today's value -  if this is the case and is that straight forward ( why isn't everyone doing this )  

3- what's the history of Projects like this loosing value - basically wondering what are the chances of this token taking off even more or dying ?
 
4-if it's as straight forward as it seems why isn't everyone doing this , is it that straight forward ??

5- Is there plenty $$ being pulled out for dev to stay with this project for the long long haul?

Thank you

guys pls help me
I tried to setup the second MN in vps
on vps
this is the first time i make a MN on vps
I follwed the following  procedure:
#### SYSTEM PREPARATION ####

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install nano htop git -y
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils software-properties-common -y
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev -y

sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev libminiupnpc-dev libssl-dev libevent-dev -y #OPTIONAL (for example VIVO needs this)

Berkley 4.8:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev -y
then
this:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LIMXTEC/BTDX-Masternode-Setup-Ubuntu-1404/master/btdxsetup.sh
chmod +x btdxsetup.sh
./btdxsetup.sh
Enter your local masternode genkey

Open Console on local Wallet and type masternode genkey
send exact 10.000 BTDX to a address
edit local bitcloud.conf
rpcuser=RANDOMUSERNAME
rpcpassword=RANDOMPASSWORD
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=YOUR GENKEY
masternodeaddr=YOUR SERVERIP
server=1
listen=1
So I have
my local bitcloud walled
on windows
set as masternode
(second one)
bu it doesn't work on local
so I decided to clone it on vps
now I've finisched
finished
the "vps procedure"
In the local conf file I've substituted
the ip of my vps machine
both in master conf and wallet conf
now?
I restarted
I went to console
and input masternode start
...successfully
started
but when I go to mastenodes tab
it doesn't work
why?

Yesterday got really confused with the YoBits listing of the BTD... There is no value or change to BTDX from BTD to that, right?

How long does it take to get the first earnings after a new masternode is setup?

I suppose if I can ever afford another BTDX masternode I'll try it out, but with Crave this is how it works :

Make a separate copy of the data directory for each masternode and use a different port (e.g. 111.111.111.111:8329 and 111.111.111.111:8330).  Then start multiple instances with the -port and -datadir pointing to their respective ports and locations.  I use unique wallets as well for each masternode.

I've heard some coins allow using one wallet with different addresses for different masternodes, and a shared data directory.  That would save a lot of hard drive space as well as RAM if that were possible.  Some even have the ability to send staked coins over to a specified address, different from the masternode's.

But I think most people doing what you suggest: using VPS for masternodes, and only staking on local machines.  They are quite affordable these days and readily available.

@darkomega69 : Yes, but some coins like Crave allow multiple nodes from one IP.  Do you know if that is the case for Bitcloud also?  I was interested in knowing that too.

I bought coins fpr 3 masternodes now...

is it possible to hold them all on one windows wallet...

or must i install for every masternode a new wallet..

Yes, it shows up in the wallet's masternode list of all nodes.  However, it didn't show up on chainz block explorer that TimC referenced.  It turns out that the internet connection is very crucial and because my laptop was sharing too much bandwidth, BTDX didn't work properly.  When I started the masternode on a different computer with low internet load, it worked.  Just received my second reward of 90.  Thanks to all for the help.

Great, that worked! Thank you so much

yes, i did do that.

it asked me for a strong password followed by privkey

sudo ./bitcloud-cli masternode status returns:


I saw that I have to change the collateral settings (i did that on the cold wallet) but how do I do that on the VPS side?

Fresh install of 14.04 Ubuntu.

I went through and did all the steps, I even tried

sudo apt-get install automake

before i ran sudo ./btdxsetup.sh

but it still gets stuck on this line:
CXX libbitcoin_server_a-init.o

Tried running again and this is what happens and then freezes:

ran it on 16.04 64 Bit.  I'm open to trying on different providers.

Also - I just wiped it and tried another install.  ran into the same issue except this time I got this error:
packet_write_wait: Connection to X.X.X.X port XX: Broken pipe

and now can no longer SSH in.

Any providers you recommend?

I let it run overnight and it's still stuck on the same command, CPU usage pretty much 100% the entire night. i'm not sure if that means it's frozen or it's just going to take a long time to finish.

 CXX      libbitcoin_server_a-init.o

i thought i did - but maybe i'll just let it run for awhile and take a look at it later. thanks for sticking by with me, i took a crash course on linux to get this set up and I'm determined to make this happen.
