So I am setting up masternode on OVH.  Got Blockchain to download and list of masternodes but I cannot run the commands getinfo or getmininginfo.

xxxxx:~# darkcoind getinfo
error: couldn't connect to server

xxxxx:~# darkcoind getmininginfo
error: couldn't connect to server

Ideas?

Thank you.

Are you running it as root? Try as normal user.

I am running as normal user.  When I start "darkcoind", I see this in the log...

But I cannot run darkcoind getinfo or darkcoind getmininginfo.

My conf:

xxxxx:/$ cat ~/.darkcoin/darkcoin.conf
#----
rpcuser=random_user_name
rpcpassword=random_password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
#--------------------
# change change_this_to_your_ec2_public_ip_ami_public_ip to public ip address which you connected by ssh
externalip=<SET TO MY VPS IP>
#---------------------

You should have masternode=1 in your conf.

But the getinfo/getmining info should work anyway. Dunno.

Try it from within your .darkcoin directory with ./darkcoind getinfo

Yeah, that downtrend/MACD negative of over 10 hours had to end sometime 10 hour pump cycle begins. time to buy.

Time to buy was about 3 hrs ago mate.  

edit: or 3 weeks, lol, but whatever. 

looking at price we will have 1-2-3 months forward it is still cheapy.

Oh I know, I've sunk another two grand into DRK in the last few days. Going to be a helluva Christmas...

LOL, farcical.

US troops are guarding Afghan poppy fields at the taxpayers expense and the CIA are the biggest drug runners on the planet. Good luck finding all that drug money on crypto exchanges lads!

Let's say you wanted to run multiple Masternodes using offline local wallets...

Setting up several Masternodes in the cloud should be easy enough, if quite time consuming.

For offline wallets, the best idea I have come up with is to have multiple memory sticks each with a bootable OS and it's own DRK wallet on it. Label them according to which node they correspond to.

Anyone else have a better idea or see a flaw(s) in this plan?

How can I calculate block reward ? what is the formula? what variables I need ?

https://darkcointalk.org/forums/mining.3/

can't find this information there

It's in the original post:

Block reward is controlled by: 2222222/(((Difficulty+2600)/9)^2)

With min. reward = 5

you can also try the IRC bot, details in the OP and here

Once flash drive fails you have 1K coins lost. I wouldn't trust one flash drive.
Also, why would you need OS there? Why not simply wallet folder?

It looks like the masternode count has been inflated due to a bug in the old protocol. My guess is we have less than 50 masternodes (currently I see 34 active). This also means it's suddenly very profitable to run a masternode again.

50x Masternodes = (576/50) blocks * 10% of the reward = 7.7DRK/day

7.7DRK * $6.64 = $51.13/DAY

Masternode cost = $6640, so that's 281% ROI per year.


Run a masternode or having trouble syncing the masternode list? Please update: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/update-to-0-9-4-4-or-0-10-8-4-to-prepare-for-the-hardfork-on-may-25.712/page-2#post-4304

Wow I would be pretty happy if we started payments with only 50 Masternodes haha.

Some way of confirming for sure that your masternode was kosher would be good.

edit, just updated to latest 10.8.5 (same download link everyone!) - looking very good indeed!

So...

34x Masternodes = (576/34) blocks * 10% of the reward = 11.3DRK/day? ROI roughly every 3 months!?

...until more people rush to buy DRK for masternodes...

Those 170 are coming back, I can almost guarantee it. I think by the end of the month 250+ nodes will be operating. Everyone (me included) is waiting for payments. I haven't started mine back up as it was costing me money while providing no income.

[splawik21]

No worries till 24may we will have +200 for sure
my rig work 2.5moths constantly on drk with loss of cost or not doesn't metter.

That's a good point, they were probably just testing to make sure their setup worked (and then they stayed in the list due to the bug).
