from what i can see...and i dont see it... is lack of english Masternode setup guide.
You dont want people to go search MN guide on dash website... just a suggestion to SIB devs
To set up a node you will need the following:
1) 1000 SIBCoins
2) server with permanent IP address or VPS
3) a bit of knowledge and luck:)
SIBCoin GUI Wallet (e.g sibcoin-qt.exe for Windows) can serve as a node but it is recommended to use console version.
So, we begin
1.At a local wallet console type
getaccountaddress 0
then copy the newly created address to any txt file
2.type
masternode genkey
copy the long output string to the same txt file as above
3. send 1000 SIBCoins to the node address using the following command
sendtoaddress <sibcoinaddress> 1000
where <sibcoinaddress> is the address acquired on Step 1
copy the output of this command to the same txt file as above
Then you should wait for 15 network coinfirmations of this transaction.
This will normally take about 40 minutes so you can have a beer or two.
It is important not to drink vodka at this step, it should be saved for the afterparty:)
Let's continueЕ
At the same local computer find SIBCoin data directory
For Windows it usually sounds like c:\users\<gopa>\appdata\roaming\sibcoin, where <gopa> is your username
Create text file and save it as masternode.conf
Insert the following line into this masternode.conf
MN1 <ip address of your remote server or VPS>:1945 <long string created at step 3>
It should finally look like something similar to this
MN1 38.59.251.207:1945 5KdnDb8tDnJtHj8VnrLBiRnA7527eSUrogJsmd8y6W7FnJ3TP9o e527bb5830dd4d23fc3df0eadc0cgopawithruchka8 0
(do not try to put this example string to your masternode.conf, it is my masternode, protected by copyright law:))
At the remote server (VPS)
Find SIBCoin data directory
Create file sibcoin.conf
Insert the following lines:
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=<very long string obtained at local computer at step 2>
save the file
restart local wallet
start remote wallet
at the LOCAL wallet console type the following
masternode start-many
or
masternode start-alias MN1
and check the output
you should see something like this
{
† † "overall" : "Successfully started 1 masternodes, failed to start 0, total 1",
† † "detail" : {
† † † † "status" : {
† † † † † † "alias" : "mn1",
† † † † † † "result" : "successful"
† † † † }
† † }
the key word here is SUCCESSFULLY:)
Have a vodka, you just started your first SIBCoin masternode
P.S IMPORTANT
For the node to work you should never spend that 1000 SIBCoins sent to masternode address at step 1
