Qtum Full Node Incentive Program — Round 2 Tutorial
TLDR: Download the Qtum wallet, leave it open, you might win free Qtum. No posting, advertising, shilling, or purchase is required. You do not need Qtum tokens to participate. You will have to leave your device online 24 hours / day. This can be a Laptop/PC/Raspberry Pi/VM/VPS/Potato, we don't care. If it compiles, you should be fine. Instructions are in this post, but you can find them at the event website as well: https://fullnodes.qtum.org/
If this event breaks any forum rules we're not aware of (we read the rules and believe this is fine) please delete this post.
We’re happy to announce another round of our Full Node Incentive Program. To maintain a healthy decentralized network, we are asking community members to lend some of their computing power and bandwidth to make this happen.
This is meant to be a fun community event where everyone can participate. It does not require participants to hold or purchase any Qtum tokens. Nothing is asked or required other than running a Qtum node. Last round there were less than 100 prizes, and after careful consideration, we have increased this to number to 822.
Prizes are awarded based on a random draw and online time, which means all you have to do is follow the instructions and leave your device online. Once you have verified that your node is correctly set up, no other action is required, and you may win a prize.Point your browser to the program website: https://fullnodes.qtum.org/

Download the Qtum installer
Go to our GitHub!
https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/releasesSelect the appropriate Wallet version to download; or click on the link below to download the latest 64-bit Qtum Core Wallet for Windows.
Https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/releases/download/mainnet-ignition-v0.17.5/qtum-0.17.5-win64-setup-unsigned.exeInstall the Qtum Core Wallet
Double-click the downloaded exe file, and then select “next”, follow the installer’s instructions and click finish at the end.
Select “the default data directory” in the welcome interface
Next, we need to Launch Qtum Core and modify the configuration file.
Here’s how:
Go to the top menu -> settings ->options in the Qtum Core interface.
Click on “open configuration file” — you will see a disclaimer about the configuration file, click on “ok”.
Open the file with the name “qtum.conf” and paste the following:
uacomment=QgoaDTzvoR7NvXrDkofF1iHJL9GFWPwWXJ (replace this with your Qtum address)
addnode = qtum5.dynu.net
Save and close the file.
Note: Replace the example address with your own in case you win a prize, for example, QgoaDTzvoR7NvXrDkofF1iHJL9GFWPwWXJ
Ok, let’s verify this is working properly
Check if it works!
Restart the Qtum Core Wallet
Wait 15 minutes for the network to broadcast your address, and for system to update, then head back to the Fullnodes program website.
Enter the Qtum address on the website to see if the address is online. If it is online, it means you have succeeded; if it is not online, check the previous steps.
MacOS instructions can be found in the Qtum blog post we've linked (https://blog.qtum.org/qtum-full-node-incentive-program-round-2-tutorial-924d203bfd55), along with the help section on the event website.
