Qtum Full Node Incentive Program — Round 2 Tutorial

https://blog.qtum.org/qtum-full-node-incentive-program-round-2-tutorial-924d203bfd55

TLDR: Download the Qtum wallet, leave it open, you might win free Qtum. No posting, advertising, shilling, or purchase is required. You do not need Qtum tokens to participate. You will have to leave your device online 24 hours / day. This can be a Laptop/PC/Raspberry Pi/VM/VPS/Potato, we don't care. If it compiles, you should be fine. Instructions are in this post, but you can find them at the event website as well: https://fullnodes.qtum.org/


If this event breaks any forum rules we're not aware of (we read the rules and believe this is fine) please delete this post.






We’re happy to announce another round of our Full Node Incentive Program. To maintain a healthy decentralized network, we are asking community members to lend some of their computing power and bandwidth to make this happen.

This is meant to be a fun community event where everyone can participate. It does not require participants to hold or purchase any Qtum tokens. Nothing is asked or required other than running a Qtum node. Last round there were less than 100 prizes, and after careful consideration, we have increased this to number to 822.

Prizes are awarded based on a random draw and online time, which means all you have to do is follow the instructions and leave your device online. Once you have verified that your node is correctly set up, no other action is required, and you may win a prize.

Node Setup Tutorial

If you don’t find what you’re looking for in this tutorial, reach out to our team on the Qtum Telegram channel: https://t.me/qtumofficial

This tutorial will show you how to access the Qtum Full Nodes program. Please follow the steps presented here, if you have any issues/questions, please address our community support channels (Telegram, Discord, and Wechat).

Download the Qtum installer

Go to our GitHub! https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/releases

Select the appropriate Wallet version to download; or click on the link below to download the latest 64-bit Qtum Core Wallet for Windows.

Https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/releases/download/mainnet-ignition-v0.17.5/qtum-0.17.5-win64-setup-unsigned.exe

Install the Qtum Core Wallet

Double-click the downloaded exe file, and then select “next”, follow the installer’s instructions and click finish at the end.

Select “the default data directory” in the welcome interface

Next, we need to Launch Qtum Core and modify the configuration file.
Here’s how:

    Go to the top menu -> settings ->options in the Qtum Core interface.
    Click on “open configuration file” — you will see a disclaimer about the configuration file, click on “ok”.

Open the file with the name “qtum.conf” and paste the following:

uacomment=QgoaDTzvoR7NvXrDkofF1iHJL9GFWPwWXJ (replace this with your Qtum address)

addnode = qtum5.dynu.net

Save and close the file.

Note: Replace the example address with your own in case you win a prize, for example, QgoaDTzvoR7NvXrDkofF1iHJL9GFWPwWXJ


Ok, let’s verify this is working properly
Check if it works!

    Restart the Qtum Core Wallet
    Wait 15 minutes for the network to broadcast your address, and for system to update, then head back to the Fullnodes program website.
    Enter the Qtum address on the website to see if the address is online. If it is online, it means you have succeeded; if it is not online, check the previous steps.





MacOS instructions can be found in the Qtum blog post we've linked (https://blog.qtum.org/qtum-full-node-incentive-program-round-2-tutorial-924d203bfd55), along with the help section on the event website.

Great, we appreciate the help. Your chances to win a prize are based on how lucky you are, and how many others are participating in the program. There's 822 prizes, which are drawn randomly. It's just a matter of waiting, the program will run for a few weeks.

The "Winnings 0" title means you haven't won a prize yet, but the program is only a day old. If you're lucky, you might win one.

You need to make sure that the address you generated in your wallet and submitted on our website is showing on the list. Go to the website and verify that it has been accepted by the network. If you've done this properly, you have to leave your wallet open 24/7 to operate as a full node. Only then will you have a chance to win a prize.

If you guys have other questions, hit us up in our Telegram channel or ask here. There's no need to notify us here that you're participating, but we do appreciate a thread bump.

   sorry, but another question, I have a dynamic IP address, this is the effect on the race?

That's a good question, I'll find out for you. It will most likely affect your total online time, but it may not affect the random draws given out for the 822 prizes.

[fitraok09]

even with the zero balance ?? okay I will try, looks interested and funny

btw, how to see my node / address

[Qtum]

People are starting to win prizes, check the event website (or your wallet) to see if you've won

[Ulven]

Do you have the exact date to participate in the bonus?

[fitraok09]

why my address doesn't see at the luckydraw result

[Qtum]

why my address doesn't see at the luckydraw result

You need to click the "CHECK" button at the top to see if your node is being recognized by the website. You're likely not in the LuckyDraw results because you haven't won a lucky draw prize.

Someone just won a 200Qtum prize. If you're participating, check your wallet.

   if I understand you correctly, then I have exactly the same chance to win as any other with a static IP address?
I see that my provider changes my address approximately every 10-12 hours....


  


p.s. I think that if I had only one connection for all the time, there would be more chances.... I just want to clarify with you, I would not like to entertain a whole month false hopes.

Why so many nodes in this list for one address. How to do that?

The developer who created the event said that it shouldn't matter if you have multiple IP addresses linked to one Qtum address for the final online time draw. It will just give you a lot of small chances to win, versus someone with a large weighted chance, but it will balance out to be the same. You're not entertaining a full month of false hope.


Also, people can link as many nodes as they like to one address, provided that each node is actually a node. They just use the same address multiple times after spawning as many nodes as they're capable of. There's no mechanism in place to prevent this.


The Qtum global node count is about 4400 right now, of which a bit shy of 1000 are from the Node Incentive Program you're participating in.
