Hey guys, is the Xnode just a masternode with a fancy name? Or is there some sort of difference between a MN and a Xnode? I couldn't find any information about it on the website or this ann unfortunately..
Yes, it's like a masternode. We are going to make a guide how to setup one.
For now, you can use the following steps.
Using qt client
Open your debug console
Help -> Debug window -> console
1. type
you get HEXXNODEPRIVKEY something like: 7ER1fSLSDkmQmXX5i2rG7BUQFt8YeEfsNE6CDyjefFX2ZjgLEcJ
2. type
you get HEXX1 Deposit Address
It's address of your hexxnode
3. Send EXACTLY 2000 hxx into the HEXX1 Deposit Address
4. type
you get TXID something like: { "d6fd38868bb8f9958e34d5155437d009b72dfd33fc28874c87fd42e51c0f74fdb" : "1", } <-- 1 is the txindex
5. modify
xnode.confHEXX1 YOUR_IP:29100 YOUR_HEXXNODEPRIVKEY_FROM_STEP_1 TXID_FROM_STEP_4 TXID_INDEX_FROM_STEP_4
Example:
HEXX1 127.0.0.1:29100 7ER1fSLSDkmQmXX5i2rG7BUQFt8YeEfsNE6CDyjefFX2ZjgLEcJ d6fd38868bb8f9958e34d5155437d009b72dfd33fc28874c87fd42e51c0f74fdb 1
6. modify
hexxcoin.confxnode=1
externalip=YOUR_IP:29100
xnodeprivkey=YOUR_HEXXNODEPRIVKEY_FROM_STEP_1
server=1
listen=1
7. Click Xnodes button on the top, near Zerocoin button,
Click "My Xnodes" tab
Select your xnode, and click "Start alias" at left bottom.
If you get pop up message that xnode started successfully
type
into console
You should get a message
"status": "Xnode successfully started"
8. wait 6 confs.
