I  tried for months, but terminal SSH location issues always prevented me. I recommend installing VM-Ware Ubuntu for a headache-less experience.

I always use Terminal to manage mine on Vulture.

What is an "SSH Location issue" exactly ? I do get some funny message from Terminal when I initially connect saying the SSH key is "inaccessible" but it still lets me connect once I type the password. (I've got it pointing at the SSH key at connection).

Does it let you connect even if you do not attach your SSH key?

Actually, yes.

I thought I'd disabled password access on Vulture. So it must be ignoring the ssh key and allowing me in with password access only.

Hey people.
Setting up my masternode however on starting MN in wallet I'm getting

"not capable masternode: Could not connect to <ipaddyofmvps>"

Checked settings and looks ok - defo right IP addy  VPS is up and running and redone darkcoin conf setup on both vps and local pc.

Is this more likely to be a payment issue? Any ideas before I start again?

Your masternode might have banned your local wallet. Try this:
1) keep local wallet open
2) stop remote darkcoind (the one that is on vps)
3) remove peers.dat on vps
4) start remote darkcond and wait until it's live (gives you valid responses on getinfo or any other rpc command)
5) issue "masternode start" (or "masternode start-many" - depends on what guide you are following) from local wallet again

Thanks for that.  Unfortunately no joy. Getting same error on masternode start. It is though a wallet I had a masternode previously on (before I f*cked up and moved coins).
Any other suggestions people?

Most times when people have asked me about this particular error, it is due to the fact that there is no 1k vin. Did you send EXACTLY 1000DRK to the Masternode address? Any more, any less, it will not work.

Sorted thanks Tao.  Ended up ditching vps and restarting.  Case of "Carefully RTFM"  Thanks again for your help

By the way - I don't understand what the big fuss is with security and masternodes.

So what if someone gets access to my masternode ?

It's no different from a "bad actor" just setting up their own masternode and doing whatever they want to do with it. What can they do anyway ?

Therefor your sshd_config must not be set properly.

Code:

LoginGraceTime 120
PermitRootLogin no
StrictModes yes
AllowUsers XXXX
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile      %h/.ssh/authorized_keys

ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes

UsePAM yes
PasswordAuthentication no
AuthenticationMethods publickey,keyboard-interactive

here's a ssh key + google auth + password config.

edit: it also requires auth required pam_google_authenticator.so on the top of /etc/pam.d/sshd

Thanks. Would you mind contextualizing that code for me ? Is that Mac Terminal code or Linux commands to be run on the masternode daemon host ?

That's sshd_config placed in /etc/ssh/ folder of the linux server. You can use a text editor for the modifies as well.

here's how to config google auth on the server https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-protect-ssh-with-two-factor-authentication
I guess you have already set up the SSH key (.ssh/authorized_keys) on your server, haven't you?

Thanks ! That's very handy.

I remember setting up that config file now.

You have a very good point. Here are the few arguments for enhanced security that I can think of:

1. Bad actors are not likely to be vested in the coin enough to have many masternodes, or they wouldn't want to attack the network. Easy access to other peoples masternodes will not provide access to coins for the attacker, but would give them the ability to utilize an already authenticated masternode.

2. Attacker can see the IP addresses (yours) used to connect to the VPS in the logs, this could help identify the owner of the masternode or even the storage location of the wallet holding the 1k DRK that authenticates it. The attacker could then focus their efforts on you directly.

3. Non DRK related uses, like hosting a phishing site or spam email relay server on your VPS.

No keeping Bitcoin down right now.

Just watched a 161 BTC sellwall get munched in 90 seconds on BTCe.

In a few years, someone with 161 DRK will be whale.

[toknormal]

Jeez. Stamp's already at 280, BTCe's 5 behind it.

Everytime there's a huge dump it just gets bounced up to the high heavens again.

DRK coinmarketcap.com ranked fifth, DRK, worth $15 million, not the style of the DRK, substantially undervalued, today the market to sell a lot of COINS, in a sense, the market to buy wall is not a very confident, everyone waiting for what

At this rate.

This will be interesting now. Everything depends on whether there's another crash to go yet.

If you look out to the long range charts there've been 2, possibly 3 big false alarms since last January where the trend turned around like this only to reverse back down again and continue the long term down trend. It can take up to 6-8 weeks to really know if that was the bottom.

Despite that I think the fundamentals of Bitcoin are now so bullish that I really can't see it tanking because it looks like new money may start to come in over the next few months.
