[jdh015232]

anyone know why i may get this error while trying to set up a masternode??

21:29:14

Not capable masternode: Invalid port: 0 - only 51472 is supported on mainnet.


why do i get this error?? when trying to stat a masternode
i followed directions exact on the first page

Do you have the port correctly asiggned in your masternode.conf file??

ALIAS IP:51472 MASTERNODEPRIVKEY TRANSACTIONHASH INDEX

Salute

can you give me example of your masternode config
i coppied it exact but get the same error
here is mine

mn1 127.0.0.1:51472 lots of # mn priv key lots of numbers transaction hash 0

what am i doing wrong?

If you have also done:

Step 4:
Open the darknet.conf file in your wallets working directory, edit it like so;

rpcuser-long random username
rpcpassword=longer random password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
masternodeaddr=<your external IP address>
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Everything seems fine, it should work. Let's see if any other have a better idea.

First issue is you can't use you loopback address, you must have a unique public IP address for every masternode. It specifically states this in the instructions.

isnt this the unique ip address under masternodaddr= command? this is what im using
or do i change the 127.0.0.1 to my own? sorry im noob

[s3v3nh4cks]

First u need to establish which way u will create your masternode. 1 location node or many remote nodes.

The i structures on the OP have both sets of instructions.

I would suggest using the remote setup as it is much safer and u can run more nodes.

i want to run multiple noedes
but i want to get a single one going first and i follow instructions for a single one and get same error so frustrating idk what im doing wrong

Step 4 in the single masternode setup has an error in it. Where it says <your external ip> should also include the port. This took me a few hours to figure out and kept giving me the 0 port error.

Here is my darknet.conf

Code:

addnode=108.61.151.69
addnode=173.245.158.8
addnode=coin-server.com
addnode=185.117.72.180

addnode=46.8.44.81
addnode=104.172.24.79
addnode=2.230.243.216
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
port=51472
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
rpcuser=s0methingCrazyAndRandom
rpcpassword=s0methingCrazyAndRandom
rpcport=51470
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
masternodeaddr=<EXTERNAL_PUBLIC_IP>:51472
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXyourMasternodePrivkeyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I also added to the file for masternodes.conf (not sure if this was necessary for a single node):

Code:

# Masternode config file
# Format: alias IP:port masternodeprivkey collateral_output_txid collateral_output_index
# Example: mn1 127.0.0.2:51474 93HaYBVUCYjEMeeH1Y4sBGLALQZE1Yc1K64xiqgX37tGBDQL8Xg

You shouldn't need the port number in the Darknet.conf file (but won't hurt to add it) but you will need the port number in the masternode.conf file. You can not use loopback addresses, or internal IP addresses as the external/masternode/bond or you will have issues as your nodes will be banned from the network.

Thanks for clarifying. Will keep that in mind if I decide to run multiple masternodes.

Unsure why it didn't work without specifying the port though since reading the thread very few people have encountered the issue and would have expected the OP to have been updated if it were wrong. Found the answers through some example DASH masternode configs and they all showed <IP>:<PORT> in a single masternode setup and since then it has worked - so not going to touch the config now .

[u0000]

Got me worried now, so I have just updated my masternode.conf to include the external IP. Was working and paying fine before, but just taking note of your information.

Thanks.

masternodeaddr=<EXTERNAL_PUBLIC_IP>:51472
when i put this WITH the :51472 at the end of my exernal ip, it gives me an error
when i dont it says it says invalid port - 0

masternodeaddr=<EXTERNAL_PUBLIC_IP>:51472
when i put this WITH the :51472 at the end of my exernal ip, it gives me an error
when i dont it says it says invalid port - 0
do i need to use the <> ? it gives me invalide masternode addresss when i do and show my external ip

No, sorry no wrapping with the <>.

So just, for example:
masternodeaddr=1.2.3.1:51472

when i put it like this, i get this error: invalid masternode address
is it IPV6 external address or IPV4?

I'm using IPV4 address.

[jdh015232]

got it!! i was using IPV6 public address, when i put my IPV4 public address in with the port on the end, the masternode started!! finally!
thanks so much for the help
great community and dev here
maybe specify in the setup process that outside IP address needs to be IPV4 ?
anyways, thanks again guys

[u0000]

Excellent. No problem. Glad it's working. FYI, it took about 2-3 days before I saw any payments. Now it is steady each day.

I think, for the record, if you need to use your IPv6 address then it will need to be wrapped in square brackets because the port designation uses the colon as well as the IPv6 address.

Eg.
masternodeaddr=[1fff:0:a88:85a3::ac1f]:51472

[jdh015232]

awesome so now its started. are the coins locked away like staking? or can i spend them whenever i want? sorry again im so noob to masternodes
so if i spend any, and it gets under 10,000 the node will stop?

u0000 thanks for all your input

i plan on starting up many nodes

can i also stake with these 10,000 coins in masternode address?

[u0000]

I have no idea, I am new to masternoding too 

Hopefully, someone with more experience can answer.

To hijack your list of questions and add my own, can the masternode rewards be staked to earn both masternode and staking rewards?
