Why suddenly VIVO in top profit masternode list ?

Why suddenly VIVO in top profit masternode list ?

It's been there for quite a while, although some newer coins have since passed it for ROI.

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.

hello, im not exactly sure how to navigate my VPS in order to remove only those certain files from the vps wallet. Im using putty with ubuntu on my VPS. Im very new to this, but I think Im catching on really quick. I was able to set up 3 different MNs from other coins and this is my first attempt at VIVO. also, since this will be the first time I set up this MN will this process work for me too? thanks for any help

[Hi-JacKeR]

And what about iOS / Android wallets.
Do you start develop?

[unnamed20]

@GhostMinerBox My first MN works fine following your instruction. My Second and 3rd MN, I keep getting same error
Error: Unsupported Operand type (s) for +: 'Nonetype' and 'str

Please, guys, can anyone assist. I will try following the steps again one more time.

Thanks

To answer some of the questions...

1. I don't know how to setup multiple MNs for the same coin on one VPS
2. I use standard windows RDP to connect to my VPS, so if you're using something else, I can't help you with that.
3. If you managed to setup one MN following my guid and cannot setup second or third then you need to figure out what you're doing differently for the consecutive installations.
4. If this is you first-time MN installation then you obviously need to follow general MN setup guide as to how to send coins to MN wallet and enable it for the first time. My guide is when you already have a MN running but having WATCHDOG_EXPIRED issue because you don;t have a Sentinel running.

I hope I did not miss any other questions.

[crackfoo]

can one sentinel install monitor multiple masternodes? Just add extra config lines?

If for the same coin on the same VPS, I would doubt that, but you can try. If for different coins (qt-wallets) on the same VPS then YES, it works for me. You need separate folders for each sentinel .exe and separate shortcuts. sentinel.conf won't work.

this is right ?

be patient reading. Step by step.
You are missing some rpcuser, psw things in vivo.conf  as code.

i use this vivo.conf :

rpcuser = Vi****
rpcpassword = ffuO****
masternode = 1
server = 1
rpcport = 9919
rpcconnect = 127.0.0.1
masternodeprivkey = 7eSgVaDZFFitb8RZoBKieVw*******

what code i forget ?

[changesl]

rpcuser=userxxc1231
rpcpassword=VeryLongAndHardToKnow3
server=1
rpcport=9998
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=7eetT


try to remove all blanks

worked. thank you very much

I had to use a different port for each MN on the same VPS.

If I did not I got a "could start HTTP server" error

Anybody knows what's the difference between   VIVO  and  INNOVA ?  ...looks like the same,

[Alex68]

In logfile "sentinel-cron.log" I often get error "Unable to submit: Object creation rate limit exceeded"  - how to fix it?
normal command "venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py" when issued manually returns no output

Updated: I just tried again manually and the same message came even from the manual command!
Later 20 times - all normal
it seems like this error happens after a certain wait time

New started required is standing in the master node info. What should I do? I restarted the server and master node allready.

can one sentinel install monitor multiple masternodes? Just add extra config lines?

Sentinel is not that big. I just run one sentinel per coin/masternode. Git clone in dedicated dirs.
