The Masternode I put together has been running 16+ hours now and nothing. Is it just a waiting game or is something configured wrong? I am not sure what to expect. Will successful payments go to my Das wallet? How often will that happen?
I used something like four sets of instructions to get it working. None of the instructions talked about managing the Masternode after it was running.
On my single masternode I usually get paid 1-2 times today and it averages about 4-5 coin. I've had days where I've got 2-3, and some days where I've got up to 8 coins. As far as monitoring...
- Every once and a while make sure your IP address is still the same (assuming you are using a mostly "static" one from your ISP). Some people don't technically have a static IP but their ISP doesn't change it often or at all.
- On linux, Open a terminal and run the following every now and then. Make sure it doesn't report any errors in the output. If it says "Service Not Available" that means your service isn't running and you need to start it. This has happened to me on my Pi when I think the power went out and it rebooted. I don't have it set to start the DAS service automatically.
- On linux monitor space. There is a debug.log file in the ./das directory that sometimes will grow out of control. You can delete the file if you need space. I found if you delete it with the service running it doesn't seem to regenerate. Maybe it will the next time the service starts.
- On your windows wallet, open it up every few days. You should be getting coin. Let the full synchronization happen at the bottom. Then click on the masternodes tab and make sure your node still says "Enabled" and not "Missing".
More or less I check my wallet daily. I'm always on my laptop anyways. I always let it synch to see new coins come in. I do a quick status check on the masternode tab. If I see problems I investigate. So far I've had 2 outages and one was caused by debug.log eating up all my space, and the other was a power outage which caused my pi to reboot and I didn't have the service set to start immediately.
It's been running for over a day now and nothing. I just checked it and it has seven connections to it. It been running and used almost 2GB of bandwidth. I am not sure how it gets paid. Is it a Que or is it a random chance? I may take it down and add the ip addresses from the other masternodes nodes and see if that helps. On the masternodes tab it's been Enabled for over an entire day.
Edit: I was looking at the masternode getinfo above. It shows a 1002 balance. Mine doesn't. Could that be the problem? I have a 0 balance and a 0 private send balance. I am sure I sent 1000 das to the correct wallet. Maybe I messed it up.
Edit 2: I decided to send 1000 das to my getaccountaddress 0 and even though it says I have 1500 spendable das it says I have insufficient balance to send the das. I know I sent the das to the correct address during the masternode setup. I am not sure what is happening at this point.
Edit3: Sent the das after much fiddling and fees. Still the masternode shows no das
