that's the idea...
turn it upside down...it's yours truly with trendy wrap-around shades wearing a hat,
repeatedly run thru weird effects using some ancient imaging software.
 
indeed...180 degrees to be precise. and on my phone it renders at 0 degrees ...go figure.
anyway, thanx for the lovely hat mate...can I order it on Amazon?  

EDIT 4/24/2020

Ha, It now renders correctly on my pc... hallelujah

Moved 1000 helium to 1 address
I've done all config file edits on both controller wallet and masternode wallet.
Ran that command <getaccountaddress MN1> in both wallets.
still get... "Error reading masternode configuration file: could not parse masternode.conf Line 1  "MN1"  "
(or whatever I call it. It won't parse 1st line. I have to un-edit file back to launch wallet)

So I guess I'm missing something fundamental here.
derp derp derp...  I give up. 
I will tip any masternode geniuses who can figure out wtf I'm doing wrong.

Beam me up Scotty ...

Agreed, but you forgot the swastika.

Wordyman wall of text?
GTF outta here!

Roger that....

A nice shiny new thread. Hopefully those are real photos of the actual team.
Only mention this as these boards tend to have a lot of OP team pic fakery if you know what I mean.

Fixed the binding error on the HLMMN wallet. Made all edits for ip and ports etc,  listen =1 and it works fine.


After editing the masternode.conf file for the local controller wallet EXACTLY as shown in set-up instructions
The wallet will not launch....I get this pop up error message...

 Error reading masternode configuration file: could not parse masternode.conf Line 1  "MN1"

The set-up guide says this is  "The name (masternode_alias) you gave your masternode:"
Well I did not name my Masternode anything when I installed the wallet (probably why it won't parse it.)
and cannot for the life of me figure out how or where to set this "masternode_alias" field to "MN1" .

back to staking...derp

The folks doing that work must feel like those airport customs dudes who wait for suspected drug
mules to shit out their precious contraband, then have the lovely job of retrieving and sending the
turds through a sluice to find buried treasure.

  and that's being generous.

There's something about an obsessive flat earth troller  and pious godswill evolution denying preacher
debating the finer points of nonsense I find amusing...but I can't quite put my finger on it....

So followed your configuring steps to the tea,and no go. Here's where I'm at....
I have 2 separate wallets with 2 separate directories.
The HLMMN1 wallet when launched from the startmn1.cmd gives error message...
 "unable to bind to <my public ip address (I looked it up)> on this computer (bind requested address not valid in its content (10049)"...
 which goes away if I set listen to 0 and relaunch.   Then it shows a zero balance. Basically a virgin wallet.

 When I launch  controller wallet (loaded with the 1000 coins on one address)  it says  "cannot parse MN1" ("MN1" being the 1st line of the controler wallet masternode.conf file that I edited with private key, ip, etc.)
Where do I set alias masternode to MN1?
 Also are both wallets launched when masternoding? or one or the other? which one?  (I actually can't launch both on this pc anyway..error message.)
Still totally confused...but I will get this sussed if it kills me.
 back to staking again... lol

I thought they were supposed to float in the drink...

Changed the “listen” parameter back anyway , in case staking broke.
Will try flailing around again tonite. From your reply, I think I’m close and on right track. Thanx .
Tip will follow my 1st reward if / when it occurs.
Confusion around which masternode.conf file to edit as I got one in each
directory (control and mn) ...I edited the control wallet one and left the masternode wallet one as is.

well mn setup didn't go exactly as planned, back to staking for now...

too bad that "FUTURE PROVES PAST" clusterphuck posting character didn't stick around for a hat.
Then he'd be sorted....



 already wearing one in my avatar. turn it upside down. hello

Yeah but at least they got nice hats....( that was a joke btw)
