Hey, I was trying to start up my ARC masternode , but ran into some issues  :'(  . I think I might be stuck around the last step of this guide https://www.cryptocrib.net/d/11-setup-arctic-coin-masternode-vps-step-by-step (https://www.cryptocrib.net/d/11-setup-arctic-coin-masternode-vps-step-by-step). When I input the command "arcticcoin-cli goldminenode start" I get this error.

error message:
You must set goldminenode=1 in the configuration

I then used the command "nano ~/.arcticcore/arcticoin.conf" , since I saw it mentioned here in the comments, that we need to add everything from step 9 to this file, instead of ".arcticcore/arcticoin.conf" . I got the same error as before. Then I added the rpcuser and rpcpassword into the file like I did the first .conf file, but it gave an error stating "incorrect rpcuser or rpcpassword (authorization failed)". Not sure what to do now. I also used this through the Vultr console instead of putty. in case it is relevant to the issue. Anyone experience this before?
.
UPDATE: I tried various things to fix the issue, But seems I just get myself into a deeper whole, more disappointing as I was in the final step of this guide after all day. One step that I tried was to use the command "rm .arcticcore/arcticoin.conf" so that only " ~/.arcticcore/arcticoin.conf" remaining. This did not work, and I would get a mix of the error messages I mentioned above and some new ones that I was not getting before, such as, incorrect gen key or cannot connect to server. The errors were happening one at a time as I was trying to solve the issue. I generated a new gen key and put it in the file, still no luck. I managed to make it run again with no error message once I removed goldminenode=1 from the config file. But then this leaves me stuck at the last part of this guide again, or even further back do to mistakes, around step 9. I then decided to try and extract my ARC out of the VPS wallet with a command I saw on one of these comment posts, "arcticcoin-cli sendtoaddress "YOUR ADDRESS" 1000.XXX". It then gave me an error that I had an insufficient balance, however when I use the command to check my balance, it says I have 1000 ARC. I wish I had known that the ARC would be in the VPS once I started this process, I only realized once I was on step 8 and by then thought it would remain to go smoothly, boy was I wrong lol. Anything I do brings me back to the four errors (Cannot connect to server, incorrect gen key, incorrect rpcuser or rpcpassword, insufficient balance) , giving only one of the errors, not all at once or multiple.. Any help is definitely appreciated.
