For 1$/month per masternode, running a masternode is profitable for ages. Upgrade to my auto masternode setup script implementation for this and more upcoming ;-)

To try this out, I've deployed 1 Vultr Ubuntu 16.04 server with IPv6 and logged in as root.
Then I downloaded your 0.2 script but not sure how to run it.... Is this correct?

1. Download the script.
2. Before running it, edit the script and change the setup nodes count. (e.g. from 3 to 5)
3. Run the script

Wait 2 more days please, next version is so much better and have actually instructions (yes, i listen to your guys wishes actually ;-)

If you insist for testing, yes that's correct. Just make sure you create a Ubuntu 16.04 instance AND activate an additional IPv6 address for that node.

Thanks. I can wait 2 more days.  

btw, not sure how to activate an additional IPv6 address...

When creating the node, toggle ENABLE IPV6

[jakiman]

Ah. yeah. That's been done.

I just can't get your 0.2 run. So I'll just wait for your 0.3.

I'm a bit confused. Some people say only one Darknet MN per IP address, others say there is no such limitation. What's the deal?

It was setup to be only 1 masternode per IP address


thanks

1. Download the script.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marsmensch/masternode-vps-setup/master/dnet_vps.sh

2. Before running it, edit the script and change the setup nodes count. (e.g. from 3 to 5)
nano ./dnet_vps.sh

3. Run the script
sh ./dnet_vps.sh

When I do above, I get the following syntax error. Did I miss something?
./dnet_vps.sh: 59: ./dnet_vps.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

hmm will try vultr with ip6 too (thanks for the script mxnsch)

i guess we have to make sure the script is interpreted by bash (the shebang tinggy should work too *shrug*).

found this workaround to start the script without error.
run the script sudo: sudo bash ./dnet_vps.sh

beware i'm not a linux/unix crack so use this workaround at your own risk

installing atm ....

only up from here by looks of it masternodes/wallets stable and lots of things going on in background.

Yes, almost correct. The script is meant to be run by bash not sh. As there seems too be too much confusion already, i created a short documentation for the current implementation of the script:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ay5uiamay24pe20/masternode-vps-VULTR_howto_v1_20160831.pdf?dl=0

Have fun!

PS.: The new version of the script with more instructions in a couple of days then.

The deal is: It's not very well documented and most people simply do not know.

installation was successful and the documentation answered all my remaining question - great work!

If it is one MN per IP address, there might be no incentive to host MN's once phase X hits, and rewards are down to 5 DNET.

[FogHorn_LegHorn]

I know DNET uses MNs and can be setup on Windows. If anyone is interested:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1366963.msg16101622#msg16101622

A nice bounty for Windows MN setup.

Not sure that will be an issue, less masternodes means larger masternode rewards, which encourages people to start a few masternodes. If everyone had a few masternodes, we would still have a significant amount of nodes on the network. The objective is to increase the value of DarkNet to offset the lower rewards without creating a high inflation situation.

Yeah, it all depends how many MN's there are. Curious to see what the outcome will be.

The deal is: It's not very well documented and most people simply do not know.

It also depends on how you want to run your Masternode's.

Most VPS cloud instances will provide a single static IPv4 address (some providers still offer shared NAT though). Increasingly, VPS hosts are also providing IPv6 addresses, which would allow you to 'bind' multiple daemon's running on a single host to each IP. As, far as system resources allow.

For IPv4 VPS hosts (or even your 'home' network), you could simply use a 'free' Tunnel Broker to add a secondary IPv6 address ;

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IPv6_tunnel_brokers

This method is known as IPv6 - in - IPv4

It is also possible to 'bind' to your unique addnode .onion address, when using Tor. However, binding to other Tor .Exit node operators IP's to run your own Masternode though Tor would certainly not be a good idea, as nodes will simply conflict, if everyone started doing that.

Basically, you want to own or at least directly control any 'IP' that you are going to 'bind' your Masternode to.

Hence, one DNET MN per IP address, is the best practical option.

[mikegi]

I set up another masternode recently, and the transaction shows  "walletconflicts".

The masternode is up, ENABLED and Successfully started, so I guess things are ok.

Could this affect staking? Should I resync my wallet? Would the txid information and logs
be of interest to the developers?

Best practical option pretty much nailed it. Except on eg vultr, where you get a shitload of free IPv6 addresses for free with every instance.

I thought I'd covered that bit with "Increasingly, VPS hosts are also providing IPv6 addresses, which would allow you to 'bind' multiple daemon's running on a single host to each IP. As, far as system resources allow."

Yes, but i had to confirm that explicitely. You have no idea how many times i got asked that question already....

Indeed. No worries. Keep up the good work on the script!

I have some good iptables firewall rules that are long term 'tested' on vultr instances, if you want to collaborate on those via PM for the script ?

Folks here might appreciate the advanced Tor Browser Bundle torrc thread.

Posted some new example torrc settings for use with the TBB v.6.0.4 ;
