#start-many Setup Guide
|
|
|
|
## Two Options for Setting up your Wallet
|
|
There are many ways to setup a wallet to support start-many. This guide will walk through two of them.
|
|
|
|
1. [Importing an existing wallet (recommended if you are consolidating wallets).](#option1)
|
|
2. [Sending 1,000 DRK to new wallet addresses.](#option2)
|
|
|
|
## <a name="option1"></a>Option 1. Importing an existing wallet
|
|
|
|
This is the way to go if you are consolidating multiple wallets into one that supports start-many.
|
|
|
|
### From your single-instance MasterNode Wallet
|
|
|
|
Open your QT Wallet and go to console (from the menu select Tools => Debug Console)
|
|
|
|
Dump the private key from your MasterNode's pulic key.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
walletpassphrase [your_wallet_passphrase] 600
|
|
dumpprivkey [mn_public_key]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Copy the resulting priviate key. You'll use it in the next step.
|
|
|
|
### From your multi-instance MasterNode Wallet
|
|
|
|
Open your QT Wallet and go to console (from the menu select Tools => Debug Console)
|
|
|
|
Import the private key from the step above.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
walletpassphrase [your_wallet_passphrase] 600
|
|
importprivkey [single_instance_private_key]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The wallet will re-scan and you will see your available balance increase by the amount that was in the imported wallet.
|
|
|
|
[Skip Option 2. and go to Create masternode.conf file](#masternodeconf)
|
|
|
|
## <a name="option2"></a>Option 2. Starting with a new wallet
|
|
|
|
[If you used Option 1 above, then you can skip down to Create masternode.conf file.](#masternodeconf)
|
|
|
|
### Create New Wallet Addresses
|
|
|
|
1. Open the QT Wallet.
|
|
2. Click the Receive tab.
|
|
3. Fill in the form to request a payment.
|
|
* Label: mn01
|
|
* Amount: 1000 (optional)
|
|
* Click *Request payment*
|
|
5. Click the *Copy Address* button
|
|
|
|
Create a new wallet address for each MasterNode.
|
|
|
|
Close your QT Wallet.
|
|
|
|
### Send 1,000 DRK to New Addresses
|
|
|
|
Just like setting up a standard MN. Send exactly 1,000 DRK to each new address created above.
|
|
|
|
### Create New Masternode Private Keys
|
|
|
|
Open your QT Wallet and go to console (from the menu select Tools => Debug Console)
|
|
|
|
Issue the following:
|
|
|
|
```masternode genkey```
|
|
|
|
*Note: A masternode private key will need to be created for each MasterNode you run. You should not use the same masternode private key for multiple MasterNodes.*
|
|
|
|
Close your QT Wallet.
|
|
|
|
## <a name="masternodeconf"></a>Create masternode.conf file
|
|
|
|
Remember... this is local. Make sure your QT is not running.
|
|
|
|
Create the masternode.conf file in the same directory as your wallet.dat.
|
|
|
|
Copy the masternode private key and correspondig collateral output transaction that holds the 1K DRK.
|
|
|
|
The masternode private key may be an existing key from [Option 1](#option1), or a newly generated key from [Option 2](#option2).
|
|
|
|
*Please note, the masternode priviate key is not the same as a wallet private key. Never put your wallet private key in the masternode.conf file. That is equivalent to putting your 1,000 DRK on the remote server and defeats the purpose of a hot/cold setup.*
|
|
|
|
### Get the collateral output
|
|
|
|
Open your QT Wallet and go to console (from the menu select Tools => Debug Console)
|
|
|
|
Issue the following:
|
|
|
|
```masternode outputs```
|
|
|
|
Make note of the hash (which is your collaterla_output) and index.
|
|
|
|
### Enter your MasterNode details into your masternode.conf file
|
|
[From the darkcoin github repo](https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin/blob/master/doc/masternode_conf.md)
|
|
|
|
The new masternode.conf format consists of a space seperated text file. Each line consisting of an alias, IP address followed by port, masternode private key, collateral output transaction id and collateral output index.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
alias ipaddress:port masternode_private_key collateral_output collateral_output_index
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mn01 127.0.0.1:9999 93HaYBVUCYjEMeeH1Y4sBGLALQZE1Yc1K64xiqgX37tGBDQL8Xg 2bcd3c84c84f87eaa86e4e56834c92927a07f9e18718810b92e0d0324456a67c 0
|
|
mn02 127.0.0.2:9999 93WaAb3htPJEV8E9aQcN23Jt97bPex7YvWfgMDTUdWJvzmrMqey aa9f1034d973377a5e733272c3d0eced1de22555ad45d6b24abadff8087948d4 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What about the darkcoin.conf file?
|
|
|
|
If you are using a masternode.conf file you no longer need the darkcoin.conf file. The exception is if you need custom settings (thanks oblox).
|
|
|
|
## Update darkcoin.conf on server
|
|
|
|
If you generated a new masternode private key, you will need to update the remote darkcoin.conf files.
|
|
|
|
Shut down the daemon and then edit the file.
|
|
|
|
```sudo nano .darkcoin/darkcoin.conf```
|
|
|
|
### Edit the masternodeprivkey
|
|
If you generated a new masternode private key, you will need to update the masternodeprivkey value in your remote darkcoin.conf file.
|
|
|
|
## Start your MasterNodes
|
|
|
|
### Remote
|
|
|
|
If your remote server is not running, start your remote daemon as you normally would.
|
|
|
|
I usually confirm that remote is on the correct block by issuing:
|
|
|
|
```darkcoind getinfo```
|
|
|
|
And compare with the official explorer at http://explorer.darkcoin.io/chain/Darkcoin
|
|
|
|
### Local
|
|
|
|
Finally... time to start from local.
|
|
|
|
#### Open up your QT Wallet
|
|
|
|
From the menu select Tools => Debug Console
|
|
|
|
If you want to review your masternode.conf setting before starting the MasterNodes, issue the following in the Debug Console:
|
|
|
|
```masternode list-conf```
|
|
|
|
Give it the eye-ball test. If satisfied, you can start your nodes one of two ways.
|
|
|
|
1. masternode start-alias [alias_from_masternode.conf]. Example ```masternode start-alias mn01```
|
|
2. masternode start-many
