Masternode question:

When I start the masternode with

Code:

darkcoind masternode start mypassphrase

can I then shut the terminal window? I am worried about the wallet passphrase being there in plain sight.

Yes, you can shut the terminal.

Plus what happens if/when my local box goes offline for whatever reason, does the masternode persist?

Masternode deamon will run for as long as the server is up.

And is there a site that lists masternodes, so I can see from elsewhere that it's up and running?

Type:
darkcoind masternode list

Thank you.

One more question: (from darkcoind getinfo)

Code:

"unlocked_until" : 0,

This means the masternode wallet is locked, yes?

Apologies for noobness at this.

Thanks.

This works on linux:

darkcoind masternode start `head -1`

Type your password on the next line. If you do it this way the history will show 'head -1' instead of your password.

Excellent, thanks boss!

Guys, now that we are on this subject when trying to start my masternode from a local machine: error: {"code":-1,"message":"masternode list|count|current> passphrase\n"}  Does anybody know what could be wrong and what should I do?  I want to run the masternode using the setup where the wallet with the 1000 drk resides on a local computer.

I am able to start the local computer with the server IP
Then unlock the local wallet
Then on the local computer try to start the masternode and get that error that you see above. Please assist.

Minotaur, I think there are versions of darkcoind that don't support masternode "start/stop" functions. Check the version of darkcoind you're running/darkcoind getinfo.

The linux darkcoind client at http://www.darkcoin.io/getstarted.html displays version 100603 which works great.

If you're still having problems, reply here and I'll post the exact instructions I used to get mine running. So worth the peace of mind to run the masternode this way.

Thank you for that.  Also, I installed Fail2ban and I think it's keeping information from being logged in var/log/auth.log where I used to find my inputs.

Thank you bobo418, will check on this and report back, the help is really appreciated.

So, with darkcoind version 100603, do I need to do anything else to be receiving payments beginning on the 14th or whenever, or will I need to install an updated version nearer the time? Because I want to set up some more. Be nice to have the wallets local though so going to try that next.

The recent variations of client etc. have left me befuddled.

About security in general, am I right in thinking that in order to steal my precious DRK, an attacker would first have to gain a copy of my key.pem file to log into the Amazon box, then crack the wallet passphrase once they had a copy of the wallet.dat? I keep the key file on a USB stick and the passphrase is good, so I should be OK?

I think you should go for the local wallet / remote masternode setup, with that option available I dont see any reason to keep your wallet on the masternode itself.  I have delayed launching my masternodes until I figure out the local / remote setup. In my case I think I just had an older version will try again tonight.

How many masternodes do we need for fully working DarkSend ?

[coins101]

Sounds like everyone is setting up masternodes

[rickraw]

How many masternodes do we need for fully working DarkSend ?

I think, since only 1 masternode is used in a DarkSend, there is no specific amount.  The more the better though for stability of the network.  I wanted to set one up but still waiting for funds to clear to buy BTC - taking forever.

 Ditto. I got as far as being able to setup a a testnet Masternode with local wallet. Cant remember where the local/remote setup is. Not firing a real one until I'm 100% sure.

 There was mention of an AMI for easier setup though, I hope in time for the 14th

[Terzo]

what is happening on 14th ?

That would be ideal.
