Hi! I come from "Desire", another MN coin which is having the WATCHDOG_EXPIRED problem. I've build a standalone version of sentinel (it doesn't require any dependencies, namely python and so on, and can be run from a single EXE file).

This post is an adaptation of https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2272607.msg24594537#msg24594537

VIVO+ Sentinel standalone (windows + linux)

You only need to do this if you are running a masternode and getting "WATCHDOG_EXPIRED"

This is a version of sentinel that requires nothing but to run an exe, make you to follow all steps! Backup "wallet.dat" first, just in case

Download: https://github.com/ZonnCash/sentinel/releases/tag/v1.1.0-win64
Virustotal (3/67): https://www.virustotal.com/es/file/3a65c0df1fb89607531d8c02bb2a3070f1c39f555944d118c67d8ee616be5b18/analysis/1510697796/

Use at your own risk, it has been compiled exactly as the Github repo says

Before running it

1. Make sure you are running 12.2.1

2. Close your wallet

3. Go to vivocore folder and delete "mncache.dat" and "mnpayments.dat"

4. Make sure your "vivo.conf" contains, at least, the following data:
rpcuser=someuser
rpcpassword=somepass
server=1
rpcport=9998
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1

Try to make rcpuser and rpcpassword hard to guess, you won't need to remember/use them for anything else, so feel free to smash the keyboard

5. Open wallet. Resync the whole wallet, from the menu "Tools" > "Wallet Repair" > "Rebuild Index"

6. Make sure the wallet is running and completely synced before continuing

How to

To make it point to your vivo.conf, you have three options:

A) Create a file sentinel.conf in the same folder as the EXE with the following content:
desire_conf=C:\path\to\vivo.conf

Yeah, it must say "desire_conf", as that sentinel is build for desire, but it will work just fine!
Start sentinel-win64.exe

B) From a console, execute the EXE by passing arguments
sentinel-win64.exe --config=C:\path\to\vivo.conf

C) By creating a shortcut

1) Right click the sentinel-win64.exe, "Create Shortcut".
2) Right click the shortcut, Properties
3) Edit Target and, at the end, add a SPACE and then "--config=C:\path\to\vivo.conf" INCLUDING the quotes "

Double click the shortcut to start sentinel.

When everything fails
If you have followed all the steps and still get WATCHDOG_EXPIRED when checking masternode status:

1. Close the wallet

2. Delete all files inside "vivocore" except for "wallet.dat" and "vivo.conf".
Please make sure you don't delete wallet.dat! Backup it, for real, that's your coins!

3. Restart wallet, open sentinel-win64.exe, and let it sync!

I followed this guide and ENABLEd my VIVO masternode. Thanks to mninfo!!!

It seems that we are at the right time for buying and holding the good coin at about $4. Check its price there
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/vivo/
I have strong belief in the project and its developers.

Yesterday a lot of people sold in panic, so yes I saw some big buyers try to collect as much as they can, as you see the volume is high at ~20 BTC.

Getting failed to connect to rpc when running sentinel,  any help please?

[Christian Knuchel]

What's happened with VIVO masternodes? As I checked yesterday, it had about more than 500 master nodes, but today just has 22, the ROI is skyrocket as well.

There are a lot of people installing Sentinel right now, which is likely disrupting the masternode side of the network to a noticeable degree. I expect these disturbances to die down within the coming one or two weeks, with most of it likely settling within the next few days.
On explorerz.top, at the time of this writing, I can see that there are 556 masternodes overall and 108 of them online. Be aware that the ones that aren't counted as online are either flagged as "EXPIRED" (only two), "NEW_START_REQUIRED" or "WATCHDOG_EXPIRED" (fixed by installing Sentinel). A good bunch of them is very likely running and "online" from a software perspective.

[vhaidamaka]

But what about people who have a masternode Desire and Vivo?

Why was my post about anonymous team deleted?

this project looks great wish it will be the next Dash maybe better   but i think it might help the project publicity if you make some social media bounties   it will attract more investors and interest in the project ... my regards

1. Make sure you are running v0.12.2.1

Where do I get this? I can only find 12.1.7

1. Make sure you are running v0.12.2.1

This method was designed for another coin so copy/paste was incorrect. 0.12.1.7 is the correct release fro VIVO.

Fixed on the main post! Thx!

Well if you see the sudden price dip that's because I just got out of the VIVO MN business and sold all my VIVO at market. Out of the blue they stopped and then I had to waste time trying to get rid of WATCHDOG error to no avail. No support, good community but ng devs. This coin is going sorry to say.

Hi all,
Is still possible to have shared master node with seats?
I am interested to but some VIVO coins, but unfortunately I don't have enough to buy 1.000 for one independent node!
All my portfolio is in alts, and this BTC price is not dropping!

Hi! I come from "Desire", another MN coin which is having the WATCHDOG_EXPIRED problem. I've build a standalone version of sentinel (it doesn't require any dependencies, namely python and so on, and can be run from a single EXE file).

rpcport=9998
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1

does the port have to state 9998 or does it have to be the same port the masternode is running on?

[GhostMinerBox]

This is a third coin in the last two days that I have successfully setup with Sentinel and Two-Windows-Wallets setup. It's not a straightforward process and has some peculiar steps you have to make to make it work.

Sentinel release that was made for DESIRE coin has to be setup a bit differently for other coins. Here is how I do it.


This guide assumes that you already have had a running masternode before the Sentinel. This guide also assumes that you have the same directory structure as I do. If you have a different structure, change the paths where appropriate.

I have two Windows wallets. A VPS Windows Wallet and a Home PC Windows Wallet.

1. Close both VPS and Home PC wallets.

2. Download the latest wallet release to both you VPS and Home PC and put it in any folder. I use C:\COIN-VIVO

3. Backup you data directories on both VPS and PC by simply copy/paste of your C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\VivoCore directory. Forget about the C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\VivoCore - Copy directory for now. If all goes well, you can simply delete it at the end. If you fail, you will need it to start over again.

4. Delete all the files in the C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\VivoCore EXCEPT for three files, i.e. vivo.conf, masternode.conf and wallet.dat on both VPS and Home PC!

5. Edit your VPS vivo.conf to make sure you have these and only these lines.

Code:

rpcuser=SomeHardToGuessLogin
rpcpassword=SomeEvenHarderToGuessPassword
masternode=1
server=1
rpcport=9919
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
masternodeprivkey=yourmasternodeprivkey

9919 will be your port for this coin. If you have multiple coins on the same VPS and will follow this guide to set them up MAKE SURE you choose another port for the other coin.

6. Start your VPS wallet vivo-qt.exe and let it sync everything until you see a blue check mark in the right bottom corner.

7. Close your VPS wallet! Believe it or not, this is an important step!

8. Start your VPS wallet vivo-qt.exe again and let it sync everything until you see a blue check mark in the right bottom corner again.

9. Download sentinel-win64.exe to your VPS from https://github.com/ZonnCash/sentinel/releases/tag/v1.1.0-win64 and thank mninfo https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1303916 for creating the Windows based Sentinel release! Put it in any folder. I use C:\SENTINEL_VIVO

10. !!! IMPORTANT STEP Create a shortcut for sentinel-win64.exe in the same folder and rename it to something meaningful and related to this coin. I use Sentinel-Vivo-Start. Right click -> Properties on that shortcut and edit Target field to contain

Code:

C:\SENTINEL_VIVO\sentinel-win64.exe "--config=C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\VivoCore\vivo.conf"

The importance of this step is to use the shortcut method. Using sentinel.conf file WILL NOT WORK!

11. Run your Sentinel-Vivo-Start shortcut, making sure the first lines in the poped up CMD windows display this:

Code:

Using desire.conf: C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\VivoCore\vivo.conf

2017-11-16 04:34 Running sentinel

12. Start your Home PC wallet vivo-qt.exe and let it sync everything until you see a blue check mark in the right bottom corner.

13. Go to Masternodes tab of your PC wallet and Start alias your masternode(s) regardless of what status other than ENABLED you see for each! If at this point you may already see your masternode ENABLED and thus you don't need to start it!

14. In the Debug console of your VPS wallet type masternode status and you should see:

Code:

"status": "Masternode successfully started"

in the output.

From that point you should wait. It may be a little but it could be a while, but after some time your masternodes should turn ENABLED. You may restart you PC Wallet any time while you're waiting. It may update the statuses faster for you.

Do you have to run 1 sentinel exe for each masternode?

I have 3 MNs on 1 VPS.

how can you do multi mns on 1 same vps?
can we change the port？ i dun think so.
