2 more questions. In the PC wallet, it says enabled, yet time active does not run. It stays at 0. In the debugconsole under masternodelist mine is visible as enabled but also this shows :
activetime" : 0,
"lastpaid" : 0
While others have values there ( it is running for about 30 or 40 minutes now. Is this normal or i missed something?
Second question, i have more than the 10.000.000 required for the MN, if i wish to send something from the pc wallet, does it automatically use the balance not used for the MN (is it locked?) or do i need to use the debug console (sendto/from) from now on?

1) It will take some time before your masternode turns 'active'. When you 'start' a masternode from the gui, you actually just register it with the network. Funny detail is: you'll get masternode rewards from that moment on. But without an actual masternode, that registration will time out in about an hour and payments will stop. The masternode needs to ping the system to tell its alive. Also the 'last active' stats are dependent on those pings. It will take some time for the masternode to start pinging (don't know why) and also for the stats to update. Finally the 'lastpaid' will be set whenever your masternode was selected for a reward. But you won't get actual rewards until block 10,081.
On a successful registration from your controlling wallet, your masternodes debug.log should show "CActiveMasternode::EnableHotColdMasterNode() - Enabled! You may shut down the cold daemon". After a while, you should see it ping: " CActiveMasternode::SendMasternodePing()" in the same logfile.
2) Yes, when you 'start' (register) the masternode, the wallet automatically locks the 10M coins to prevent them from being spent (which is great btw, not all wallets do that).
To check that your coins are locked, you can enable 'coin control' (Settings menu, Options, Wallet) and then on the 'Send' page, use 'Inputs...' to see your inputs (basically thats the individual coins you received). Your 10M input should have a lock symbol next to it.
