From where and how does one install this sentinel v1.1.1 on a linux vps?
Follow instructions here:
https://github.com/dashpay/sentinelBe sure to double check your paths and configs, but that's it
Thanks! Masternode pre-enabled.
./desire-cli masternode status prints an error though "this is not a masternode". Is this trouble or will it change for the better when it is enabled?
Nope, it should be saying "Masternode successfully started". Do the following
1. Make sure the path in crontab for sentinel is correct
2. Stop daemon: desire-cli stop
3. Update to v0.12.2.1 (either pull from github and recompile, or download the new binaries)
4. Restart and reindex all chain: desired -reindex --daemon
5. Wait for it to sync the chain: desire-cli getinfo
6. Wait for it to syn the masternode: desire-cli mnsync status, you should get MASTERNODE_SYNC_WAITING/MASTERNODE_SYNC_FINISHED
7. Start mastenode: desire-cli masternode start
For completeness,
desire-cli masternode status : should say it is started
desire-cli masternode list: your collateral txid should be there, status PRE_ENABLED. After some blocks it should change to ENABLED
