Think about it, the only reason for this it that Chaeplin step by step guide if for Amazon and includes screenshots. If you have the ability, create guides for a few other options, people will happily use them.  

For the same reason, everybody wants to start collecting from the beginning and Amazon is a quick way to do that, I will have a few running there from the start and will take the time to move to other places next week.

Finally, Evan and Kyle must be really busy with the fork and development, after a few days I am sure they will take some time to come up with best practices and recommendations for running masternodes, and people will follow.   So it is a crawl, walk run situation, we will be fine.

Chaeplin's guide pretty much applies to every hosting provider, it's Ubuntu FFS.

Then all you have to do is create a guide for the first steps of setting up and securing the VPS, and make a note if there are any steps at all that are different. I remember on his guide he says the iptables settings are just for Amazon EC2?
You need to understand  that we either provide specific steps to move or people just wont do it because they will have doubts. Why would they move something that is making them money? If they don’t have certainty?  The guide is not for you evidently but many will appreciate it.

There can't be a guide for every single VPS provider - you should at least be able to get to the stage where you're able to ssh into your server by yourself.

I must offend you, sir. I truly hope no one is willing to sell that much DRK at that price... I will lose faith in the human race, again, if something that dumb happens. ;-)

Fine, I would just like clarification on the iptables thing, where Chaeplin says it only applies to an Amazon EC2? What to do instead?  I think only one second example would be enough to compare. That's it.

EDIT: Do we want a healthier network? Then lets just not over think  this and add a second example. What is the big deal? From a psychological perspective it makes a big difference.

Platform independent guide on nothing but the darkcoind masternode setup. Leave the rest out. We can secure our own servers. Or at least people dumping $15,000 into a masternode should know how...

Just look up an iptables howto... it's the same in every distro.

Please update ASAP!

Some bad masternodes set off a chain reaction which forked the network
into many smaller forks. To ensure you're on the correct fork please
update your daemon and run with the command "-reindex". It may take a
bit to reindex, but you'll be on the correct fork.

darksend logfile usage is, uh, wow.... my "tail -f debug.log" terminal is spewing about as fast as my drive IO can handle...

Forget incentive to host a huge blockchain, this logfile is going to be bigger than the BTC blockchain in about 4 hours...

[coastermonger]

What does it mean when DRK forks. I am not sure what the concept is or what is happening

To be clear, everyone knew ahead of time that a major hard fork was happening.  It's necessary to introduce a big update to the network.  It looks like some pools and masternodes didn't update their clients correctly, resulting in a few hours time where the chains split and proceeded in separate paths. 

Eventually, everyone gets back on the same chain.

[coins101]

Would be good if the dev can give an update now on what's upcoming

Old schedule...

- RC2 (magic numbers changed to darkcoin, DGW3) : May 14th
- RC2 (masternode payments) : May 25th
- RC3 (10 DRK limit and denominated change) : June 14th
- After this, I'll find someone to vet the code and open source.
- RC4 (Bugs, security issues)
- Testing, then opensource

The masternode issues and the 3rd fork for the 25th actually messed up the schedule. I've been rewriting much of the code masternode technology (released yesterday, if you haven't updated please do!)

There's still some oddities with the election voting system that I'm going to tackle this next week. This I'll start working again on RC3 .

My view on where we are at the moment, plus above

I've found that doing a quick 'cp debug.log debug2.log' to 'snapshot' it then 'nano debug2.log' (or however you want to view it/grep strings or whatever) is easier that trying to tail it, unless you need the latest entries, but each to their own.

Nice.

Are the exchanges running on the correct fork? Poster above sais he sent money that don't get confirmed and the exchange is seeing them. Does that mean both are in the wrong fork?

My wallet (9.4.6) is showing 3 confirmations and Cryptsy shows none. 

Thing is that Cryptsy does that kind of stuff even on "normal" days with no forks. You can't tell what's going on for real.

Check with that

http://explorer.darkcoin.io/chain/DarkCoin

...blockexplorer to see the transaction if it exists... Also check if your client is in the latest block that is listed on the block explorer. Also update to 9.4.8.

Here is the Cryptsy deposit that they show as no confirmations: http://explorer.darkcoin.io/tx/f8d8746090b4ff7e3be30e88b51e7bba9724622ab15c106cedd56964b7dcc9d5

Anyone have any insight what that might mean?  I don't read blockchain very well.

Come on the other main reason people are using Amazon is because its free for a year.

I prefer to tail it. I'm just alarmed at the speed the file is growing with huge amounts of redundant data... I'm over a gig and I just deleted the whole directory for a fresh pull with ...8.8. That file was empty about an hour ago.

Only happening on the darkcoind on the server, not the darkcoin-qt on the desktop...

Anyone have any insight what that might mean?  I don't read blockchain very well.

The money seem to have been sent, in a recent block, therefore most probably on the right fork (the fact that the transaction exists in that block explorer also means that) and not a stuck alternate fork, so cryptsy's system will see them at some point.

If they are having problems with their wallet, they'll see them when they update it.

everyone who owns 1000 DRK needs free hosting!  

[dime]

debug log gets recycled.. no need to worry about the size.. you can also delete the debug.log file yourself without any problems

True, but honestly I don’t care about the cost. You give me an example of how to move to a server on Iceland or something and I will do it to support the network. If there isn’t an example I honestly don’t think I will give it a high priority since I am already collecting on Amazon, just to be really honest. I think I will bring it up on the community volunteers thread to see if something can be done, I really think it will catalyse people moving.

Just to clarify - the windows binaries have not yet been released, correct?
