✅|ANN| 🌍DESIRE |NeoScrypt| |🔨MasterNodes🔨| - COIN OF YOUR DREAMS!

[GhostMinerBox]

No errors this time. MN status still shows  WATCHDOG_EXPIRED though in the controlling wallet. Maybe I should wait a little. While I am waiting... What should I do if I have a masternode for another coin, i.e. VIVO on the same VPS that is having the same issue. How would I start the Sentinel for that coin too? Noone is replying in VIVO topic about this.

That's some progress It's weird though that it doesn't show PRE_ENABLED :/ Have you ran through all the "masternode start" process? If so, let's wait for a few minutes and check if it changes (I might be sleeping by that time, if so I'll check in 7-9h)

For VIVO, copy sentinel-win64.exe to another place and create a new sentinel.conf in that new place, this time make "desire_conf" point to the VIVO config file (still, name it desire_conf=xxx, as that is what it's expecting).
Once this is done, modify vivo.conf (or whatever it is called) to also contain all that data, but make sure to change "rpcport" to something else, whatever as long as it is greater than 1024, I'll use 9928 here

rpcuser=someuser
rpcpassword=somepass
server=1
rpcport=9928
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1

someuser and somepass need not be the same as before, you can/want to change them

After I restarted my controlling wallet it showed PRE_ENABLED for a minute and then went back to WATCHDOG_EXPIRED. It is definitely some progress but we are not there yet. ((

I was reading through the dash code and it seems like before there was some governance message for the vote order of masternodes for it to update the watchdog.  Now thas has changed to sentinel.
What block are you at right now?? Just to make sure it is not stuck (and thus not receving updates)

Could you upload a copy of your "debug.log" (inside desirecore) to somewhere? I believe it doesn't contain sensitive information, but if you want to be sure, simply check for lines with "CMasternode::Check" or "MNPING -- Masternode" or "CActiveMasternode::SendMasternodePing" and upload those.

I am at block 16725
OK, we got something!!!! I have several MNs and was applying your changed to all of them and one of them just changed ENABLED. For that particular MN I deleted all files in data dir exept for wallet and .conf files and started from scratch. Let me do the same for another MN and see if it is exactly the thing that fixed it.

No luck with sentinel, followed peoples instructions.  No coins for last 2 days.  Frustrating, especially since I paid for the masternode hosting service, it looks like its just an ip address and you have to manage and do everything yourself.

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0598/6757/files/capture38.jpg?6552870429517263903

You need to start the masternode as usually first! On the debug console: masternode start
Details here: https://github.com/lazyboozer/Desire_files/blob/master/Setup%20Desire%20MasterNodes.pdf

Make sure "masternode status" says it is enabled (from the debug console) and "mnsync status" returns MASTERNODE_SYNC_WAITING or MASTERNODE_SYNC_FINISHED

Once the masternode is running, then you might run sentinel (or simply leave it open as is now, but make sure to start the masternode!)

Actually masternode starts when you reopen the wallet. masternode status reports  "status": "Masternode successfully started" but it reported it without Sentinel too.

Nice! So it seems we need to fully sync from the start first before doing all of this!

Oh, didn't know that, on linux you must manually start it each time.

THAT'S IT!!! mninfo you are the MAN! You just saved this coin and definitely deserver a bounty from the dev team!

The trick is to delete all files in the data directory. Resync the wallet from scratch. It shows ENABLED!

Yes, please! Thank you very much!
Would you like to do the same for VIVO? I am sure the crowd there will appreciated it too because right now their ship is also sinking.

Desire + Sentinel standalone (windows + linux)

You only need 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 v0.12.2.1

2. Close your wallet

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

4. Make sure your "desire.conf" contains, at least, the following data:
rpcuser=someuser
rpcpassword=somepass
server=1
rpcport=9918
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 desire.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\desire.conf

Start sentinel-win64.exe

B) From a console, execute the EXE by passing arguments
sentinel-win64.exe --config=C:\path\to\desire.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\desire.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 issuing "masternode status":

1. Close the wallet

2. Delete all files inside "desireconf" except for "wallet.dat" and "desire.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!

So I have finally build it, please test it and consider it to be a beta, something might fail (I don't have desire in Windows).

4. Restart you wallet after setting them, so that it loads the changes.
Make sure the wallet is running and completely synced before continuing

thanks for posting this. I have a couple of different setups and was curious where this applies. If I have a controller wallet and multiple MNs, where does sentinel need to run? on the controller or the MNs or both?

Hi folks. I'm having real trouble upgrading on linux. I've spent several days working on it and I can't get it to work. I finally upgraded but now when I try to run desired i get the following error:

"desired: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem.so.1.54.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I spent many hours trying to install the missing libboost package but nothing I do works. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Simply copy "sentinel-win64.exe" to multiple locations, each of them with a "sentinel.conf" file. Each of those "sentinel.conf" should have a different "desire_conf=xxx", pointing to the adequate configuration file. Start each of the "sentinel-win64.exe" and you are done

You might try to see if you repo has libboost version 1.54.0, ie: sudo apt-get install libboost1.54-dev

If it isn't in your repository, I would try to build desire from 0 with the latest libboost (sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev).

2. Resync the whole wallet, from the menu "Tools" > "Wallet Repair" > "Rebuild Index" - I dod not do it this way. I deleted the data directory. Gotta test out this way to make sure it will do the same.

It does the same (theoretically). I added a new step (just now) though, to manually delete "mncache.dat" and "mnpayments.dat", which it seems it is needed.

This is for masternodes only, if you are not running a masternode, there is no need to do this.
Either linux and windows, VPS or not, but masternodes.

Ive runned them both from Windows like it appears on the first guide without VPS

Ive did this  i have 1 question

the desire.conf looks like this

masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=7qt9zSJWu******G943kK825pnuGPwEDZRjN7ohUdmJUynSK5Qc
externalip=78.204.***.214

then you said

at least, the following data:
rpcuser=someuser  ->ive set the username
rpcpassword=somepass > set pass
server=1   > let it as is
rpcport=9918>  9919
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1 ->  my IPV4

still sentiel says   Invalid Masternode Status, cannot continue.'






Im not sure if your guide is for the Hot wallet version

[tek-g]

Im not sure if your guide is for the Hot wallet version

I tried asking that above too but mninfo ignored me.

We need clarification on what instance types need to have sentinel running.
