My masternode is stuck and not starting. Does anyone know what the issue could be?

Code:

"status": "PRE_ENABLED"

My masternode is stuck and not starting. Does anyone know what the issue could be?

Code:

"status": "PRE_ENABLED"

It will show PRE_ENABLED for the first hour after start. If it changes to something other than ENABLED after that , then you have an issue.

Hi,It is possible to create multiple goldminenodes in windows 10 with a single ip external?

no

1 Goldmine per external IP

[striker7334 2.0]

Wow this one could very well be a goldmine with how cheap the masternodes are atm! How does the wallet perform with master node implantation? Just picked up my first node to see what it does hope it works out for the best if it has solid service I could easily see the price rising pretty high fast. 

[polylogic]

so how long for the first payment?!
my node is running for 36h now

[polylogic]

I am not receiving any payouts from my masternode I have one running for two days now.

Code:

09:30:45

goldminenode start-alias gm1


09:30:45

{
  "alias": "gm1",
  "result": "successful"
}

and

Code:

09:30:53

goldminenode status


09:30:53

{
  "vin": "CTxIn(COuxxxxxx(a1f7dd8xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxf7e847f18fee278a7a993, 1), scriptSig=)",
  "service": "MYIP:7209",
  "payee": "AYRxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxzuvf",
  "status": "Goldminenode successfully started"
}

What could I be doing wrong?

There's some randomness to who gets paid out.
Looking at https://arcticcoin.org/en-EN/goldmine-list everything on your node looks fine. Perhaps you will be lucky and get 2 blocks tomorrow

FYI (and I am guilty of this myself): Everything but the masternode key as public information (tx id, ip, payee address)

well i keep waiting a little longer

How to mine?

Fire up your preferred miner with the following parameters (replace WALLET with your wallet address):

Code:

-a x11 -o stratum+tcp://hexpool.com:3533 -u WALLET -p c=ARC

Hi,my Node to and no first paymant yet...

[striker7334 2.0]

Well I just setup my first one we'll see how it goes hopefully all goes well. Excited about the 45% payout that is just awesome and with the marketcap being so low it has a lot of potential to rise. The coin it could easily turn into my own private cloud ATM with a few more setup.

[Michael724]

And recently one of the two masterternodes has received a reward of 5.85 ARC.

[polylogic]

Polylogic - ArcticCoin - Masternode Guide - Windows/Linux Cold Wallet + Ubuntu 16.x VPS Masternode LINK

Part 01
Lets prepare the Cold Storage (this should work with any OS)

- Install the (Windows) Wallet and sync with Network
- Create a Address that can be reused, call it Masternode_XX
- Send 1000.01 ARC from Exchange to Masternode Address (.01 more than nessesary)
- Encrypt Wallet with Strong Password
- Backup Wallet.dat File
- Open Debug Console and type without ":

Code:

dumpprivkey "walletaddress"

- Save the Private Key to a txt file and type:

Code:

goldminenode genkey

- This is your Goldmine Key, save it aswell.

Code:

goldminenode outputs

- Save This Data too. Its your Transaction ID and IDX. We need all those keys later.


Part 02
Prepare the Linux VPS (Ubuntu 16.x)

WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING

if you dont know how to operate a Linux Server,
then you should think twice about setting up a Masternode Server.
Masternodes have a Public IP Address and may be subject to Intruders and Hacking attemts.
We have to properly secure the server and keep it updated.
For now, this Tutorial will provide you with a basic security but it is highly advised to
take the proper precautions and stay alert.

i will update this guide to my best knowlege, maybe one of you can give some iptables tips
and how we get fail2ban goin.

WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING

if you dont know what you are doing and still want to participate just copy paste the commands.

- log into your vps via ssh (i use putty)

Code:

apt update
apt upgrade

- now we change the ssh port to some number you like

Code:

nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

change the port from 22 to your lucky number.
if you have never worked with nano:
look at the bottom, it shows the menu, press CTRL + C to Exit & Save

- restart the ssh service

Code:

service ssh restart

- now disconnect and log back in, use your new port.

- lets setup the firewall and open ports for ssh and ARC (Port 7209)

Code:

ufw allow <ssh-port>
ufw limit <ssh-port>/tcp
ufw allow 7209/tcp
ufw logging on

enable the firewall:

Code:

ufw enable

use _{ufw status} and _{ufw disable} if you need to disable the firewall.

- reboot the vps and log back in.

- check the internet on how to secure your vps, there is still much to learn.


Part 03
Install ArcticCoin

 - you should be logged into your vps as root

Code:

apt-get install -y build-essential software-properties-common autoconf libssl-dev libboost-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev sudo automake git
add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin -y
apt-get update
apt-get install libdb4.8-dev bsdmainutils libdb4.8++-dev -y
adduser arc
su - arc
mkdir arc
cd arc
su root
wget https://github.com/ArcticCore/arcticcoin/releases/download/v0.12.1.2/arcticcore-0.12.2-linux64.tar.gz
tar -xvf arcticcore-0.12.2-linux64.tar.gz
mv arcticcore-0.12.1/* ./
rm arcticcore-0.12.2-linux64.tar.gz
rm -r arcticcore-0.12.1/
cp -v /home/arc/arc/bin/* /usr/local/bin/
su - arc
arcticcoind -daemon

this is it. ArcticCoin is now running, started by user arc.
verify that ArcticCoin is connected with:

Code:

arcticcoin-cli getinfo

Part 04
Enable masternode and point it to our wallet:

Code:

arcticcoin-cli stop
su root
nano /home/arc/.arcticcore/arcticcoin.conf

we now edit the configuration file, copy paste the following, edit with your data and save.

Code:

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
staking=0

goldminenode=1
externalip=<YOUR_PUBLIC_VPS_IP_ADDRESS>:7209
goldminenodeprivkey=<YOUR_MASTERNODEKEY>

we are almost done, all we need to do now is start ArcticCoin again.

Code:

su arc
arcticcoind -daemon

Part 05
BTCBTCBTC Start the Masternode-Service and earn ARC! BTCBTCBTC

congratulations, you have come a long way, now its time to earn some money

The last step has to be done with the Cold Wallet,
edit the goldminenode config and add:

Code:

<MASTERNODENAME-ALIAS> <YOUR_PUBLIC_VPS_IP_ADDRESS>:7209 <YOUR_GOLDMINE_KEY> <YOUR_TRANSACTION_ID> <IDX>

now restart the wallet to load the config file.
unlock wallet
enter debug console

Code:

goldminenode start-all

this is it, simple right?
your masternode is running and earning 24/7.
you can close the wallet or keep it open and synced.
Windows 10 gives you Notifications on Incomming Transactions.

here are some more tips:

Cold Wallet:
- use the debug console, try _help or _{help goldminenode}
- take a look at the masternode list and look up your Transactions ID with _{goldminenode list} you can also see the status there.

VPS Masternode:
try _{goldminenode status} once everything has been done to verify your node working.


sit back, enjoy and donate some ARC
