It's nice a have a coin with MN price lower than monthly VPS fee it runs on
Still, for those that want to practice setting up MN almost for free, be my guest. Here's the guide.
QUICK ICE MASTERNODE INSTALL SCRIPTInstall and run your ICE MN in 10 easy steps!On your GUI wallet1. From the wallet File menu, select Receiving addresses. Create a new one, call it MN
2. Transfer 20010 ICE you buy on Graviex to your (no label) address in the wallet
3. Transfer exactly 20000 ICE from (no label) to your newly created MN address
4. Open the Tools->Console window
5. type:
masternode genkey
masternode outputs
On your Vultr.com VPS6. Create a VPS with Ubuntu 16.04 installed.
7. Connect with Putty to your new VPS
8. as ROOT, type:
wget
http://ice.lagoda.pl/setup.sh./setup.sh
Confirm your IP address when asked
When asked copy / paste the masternode key generated in step 5.
Run your MN daemon typing ./frozend
On your GUI wallet9. Open masternode.conf located in %appdata%/frozen (if not present, just create it)
type in ONE LINE the following:
MN1 IP:9904 MNPRIVKEY TXID TXHEIGHT
where
IP is the VPS IP address
MNPRIVKEY is the one generated in step 5
TXID is the first part of masternode outputs (characters between " ")
TXHEIGHT is second part of masternode outputs (single digit between " ")
10. In the Masternodes tab press update, select your MN1 and press Start alias
Finish!
