alright looks like I can't switch from Linux to windows.

Anyone have a guide to set up a MTNC Masternode in Linux? Ubuntu 14.04 or Debian? Can switch OS if need be.

is there a guide for setting up a masternode on ubuntu VPS?  Or should I just run the windows setup on VPS?

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?

just want to say...that worked! can't believe alibaba cloud didnt haha...i came across other users that had used alibaba cloud so I figured it would be fine.  It's running now anyway, got past that point. thanks!!

thanks for digging. I'll check that out, then vultr. appreciate it!

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:

I'm going to try re-imaging the disk to 14.04 ubuntu first - if that still doesn't work; i'll try vultr.


I will try and paste the log the next time i try on a fresh install if it doesn't work. thanks!

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.

Thanks for the reply. Got the Alibaba cloud with these specs:
1 Core CPU
1GB Memory
40GB SSD Cloud Disk
1TB Data Transfer

Let me know if you need more information. Appreciate it

sorry to be confusing.  The first time i installed, it finished successfully but that's when I couldn't get any of the commands to work with the "no such file or directory error".  That's when I read the comment about missing the automake command and I decided to re-initialize the VPS and start over with a fresh install.

This time around, it seems like the compiler stops at "libbitcoin_server_a-init.o" and on the VPS monitor it says my CPU is at 100% usage, seems frozen.

edit: no matter how many times I try to now, it won't get past that line.

Also, I ran into this snag last time on install but it gets caught on

CXX libbitcoin_server_a-init.o

Wondering if this is normal?

thanks. I'll try that.

Alright so, I've gone through all the steps to set up the Masternode on my Linux VPS.

My control wallet (with 10k btdx sent to masternode wallet) is on an OSX laptop, and I manually found and edited the masternode.conf file.

On the VPS side, I ran the code to install the required packages and create + compile the wallet.  I actually had to run the code twice because it crashed my system on step 3/5 the first time.

I got it working, and entered the privkey when prompted, and created the masternode.conf file and entered all data in the ~/Bitcloud directory.

I cannot get any of the commands to work  ./bitcloudd or ./bitcloud-cli or any of those commands just say "No such file or directory" when I try to run them.  If i navigate into ~/Bitcloud/src I can see bitcloudd.cpp and bitcloud-cli in the folder.

On the control wallet side, my masternode just says protocol -1 and status is MISSING.

This is my first time trying to wrap my head around all this stuff - so I'm not sure if the install failed at any points during my setup, and I have no way of knowing if that is the case.
