Multi masternode config
=======================
The multi masternode config allows to control multiple masternodes from a single wallet. The wallet needs to have a valid collaral output of 1000 coins for each masternode. To use this, place a file named masternode.conf in the data directory of your install:

In the example above:
* the collateral for mn1 consists of transaction http://test.explorer.dash.fr/tx/2bcd3c84c84f87eaa86e4e56834c92927a07f9e18718810b92e0d0324456a67c, output index 0 has amount 1000
* masternode 2 will donate 33% of its income
* masternode 3 will donate 100% of its income
* the collateral for `mn1` is output `0` of transaction http://test.explorer.dash.fr/tx/2bcd3c84c84f87eaa86e4e56834c92927a07f9e18718810b92e0d0324456a67c and it has amount of 1000 DASH
The following new RPC commands are supported:
* list-conf: shows the parsed masternode.conf
* start-alias \<alias\>
* stop-alias \<alias\>
* start-missing
* start-disabled
* start-many
* stop-many
* outputs: list available collateral output transaction ids and corresponding collateral output indexes
When using the multi masternode setup, it is advised to run the wallet with 'masternode=0' as it is not needed anymore.
When using remote masternode setup, you **must** remove `masternode=1` from local `dash.conf` file if you had it there in previous versions. This option should be used only to start local Hot masternode now.
