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:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\DashCore\
• Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/DashCore/
• Unix/Linux: ~/.dashcore/

masternode.conf format is 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.

Example:

mn1 127.0.0.2:19999 93HaYBVUCYjEMeeH1Y4sBGLALQZE1Yc1K64xiqgX37tGBDQL8Xg 2bcd3c84c84f87eaa86e4e56834c92927a07f9e18718810b92e0d0324456a67c 0
mn2 127.0.0.3:19999 93WaAb3htPJEV8E9aQcN23Jt97bPex7YvWfgMDTUdWJvzmrMqey aa9f1034d973377a5e733272c3d0eced1de22555ad45d6b24abadff8087948d4 0
mn3 127.0.0.4:19999 92Da1aYg6sbenP6uwskJgEY2XWB5LwJ7bXRqc3UPeShtHWJDjDv db478e78e3aefaa8c12d12ddd0aeace48c3b451a8b41c570d0ee375e2a02dfd9 1

In the example above:

• 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>
• start-missing
• start-disabled
• start-many
• outputs: list available collateral output transaction ids and corresponding collateral output indexes

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.
