Martkist - Masternode Setup Guide
Masternode hosting platforms are now more practical then before, they allow the users to keep their coins on their wallets by setting up a cold wallet masternode.
This guide is for a single masternode, on a Ubuntu 16.04 server (VPS) and will be controlled from the wallet on your local computer. (Cold Wallet)
The wallet on the the VPS will be referred as the Remote wallet.
First the basic requirements:
- 18,000 MARTK
- A local computer – This will run the cold wallet, hold your collateral of 18,000 MARTK and can be turned on and off without affecting the masternode.
- A masternode Server (VPS – The server that will be on 24/7)
Choose a VPSWe will use OVH (
OVH VPS) as an example of a VPS, but you can use any provider you prefer, you can check Vultr, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud.
1) Choose a VPS type, VPS SSD 1 can be use to run a masternode
2) Configure your VPS, with operating system only, and choose Ubuntu 16.04 Server
3) Skip the optional option
4) Review and order the VPS
Cold Wallet - installation1) From
Github, download the latest QT wallet, on your local computer.
2) Run the cold wallet and wait for a full sync, you can check the sync status on the bottom right corner
3) Configure the cold wallet to have the Masternode Tab and then restart the wallet
(Settings -> Options -> Wallet) check:
Show Masternode Tab
Cold Wallet - configuration1) Using the cold wallet, enter the debug console (Tools > Debug console) and type the following command
masternode genkey In output, you get the variable
Masternode Private Key
2) Using the cold wallet still, enter the following command
getaccountaddress Name of Masternode
In output, you get the variable
Masternode Address
3) Send 18,000 MARTK to
Masternode Address
4) Still in the cold wallet, enter this command into the console
[b]masternode outputs[/b] In output, you get the variables
Collateral Output TXID and
Collateral Output Index
5) Open masternode.conf file and add the following line to it
(Tools -> Open Masternode Configuration File)
"Name of Masternode" "IP address":4040 "Masternode Private Key" "Collateral Output TXID" "Collateral Output Index"Example:
MN1 1.2.3.4:4040 892WPpkqbr7sr6Si4fdsfssjjapuFzAXwETCrpPJubnrmU6aKzh c8f4965ea57a68d0e6dd384324dfd28cfbe0c801015b973e7331db8ce018716999 1VPS Remote/Hot wallet - installation1) Download PuTTY to establish a SSH connection to the server.
Go to the PuTTY
Download Page and select the appropriate MSI installer for your system.
2) With putty, connect to your VPS using
IP Address, and use your credential, provide by OVH
3) Update your VPS with the following command
apt-get update -y
apt-get upgrade -y4) Install some software needed for running your masternode
apt-get install wget nano python python-virtualenv virtualenv git -y5) add a new user, we are using the coin name for our user
adduser martkist6) Configure server memory swap
fallocate -l 1500M /mnt/1500MB.swap
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/1500MB.swap bs=1024 count=1572864
mkswap /mnt/1500MB.swap
swapon /mnt/1500MB.swap
chmod 600 /mnt/1500MB.swap
echo '/mnt/1500MB.swap none swap sw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab7) Configure the firewall for allowing masternode connection
ufw allow ssh/tcp
ufw limit ssh/tcp
ufw allow 4040/tcp
ufw logging on
ufw --force enable
VPS Remote/Hot wallet - configurationInstall the latest version of martkist wallet onto your masternode. The latest version can be found here:
https://github.com/martkist/martkist/releases1) Now, log in to the VPS with your new user "martkist"
su - martkist2) From your home directory, download the latest version from the martkist GitHub repository
[ -f /home/martkist/sources.tar.gz ] && rm -f /home/martkist/sources.tar.gz
wget -q -O /home/martkist/sources.tar.gz https://github.com/martkist/martkist/archive/v3.3.0.tar.gz
[ -d /home/martkist/temp_sources ] && rm -fr /home/martkist/temp_sources3) We can now extract the latest version and place the files in your home folder
mkdir /home/martkist/temp_sources
cd /home/martkist/temp_sources
tar zxf /home/martkist/sources.tar.gz --strip-components=1 -C /home/martkist/temp_sources4) launch the compilation with
cd /home/martkist/temp_sources
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
mkdir /home/martkist/bin > /dev/null 2>&1
mv /home/martkist/temp_sources/src/martkistd /home/martkist/bin
mv /home/martkist/temp_sources/src/martkist-cli /home/martkist/bin5) Edit the martkist.conf by typing
mkdir /home/martkist/.martkist > /dev/null 2>&1
cd /home/martkist/.martkist
nano martkist.confrpcuser="RPC Username"
rpcpassword="RPC Password"
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
masternode=1
externalip=IP Address
masternodeprivkey=Masternode Private Key
Press [
Ctrl + X] to close the editor and [
Y and Enter] to save the file.
6) You can create a service for automatic startup of daemon
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/martkist.serviceAdd the following lines in this file
[Unit]
Description=MARTK_MN
After=network.target
[Service]
User=martkist
ExecStart=/home/martkist/bin/martkistd -daemon -datadir=/home/martkist/.martkist -conf=/home/martkist/.martkist/martkist.conf
ExecStop=/home/martkist/bin/martkist-cli -datadir=/home/martkist/.martkist -conf=/home/martkist/.martkist/martkist.conf stop
TimeoutSec=10min
Type=forking
Restart=on-failure
PrivateTmp=true
ProtectSystem=full
NoNewPrivileges=true
PrivateDevices=true
[Install]
WantedBy=default.targetPress [
Ctrl + X] to close the editor and [
Y and Enter] to save the file.
7) Now, you need to finally start the wallet service with the following command
systemctl enable martkist
systemctl start martkist
You have now waiting for the blockchain synchronization, you can check the status with
/home/martkist/bin/martkist-cli mnsync statusStart your masternode1) From the cold wallet debug console (Tools > Debug console)
startmasternode alias false [color=red][b]Name of Masternode[/b][/color]The following should appear
“overall” : “Successfully started 1 masternodes, failed to start 0, total 1”,
“detail” : [
{
“alias” : “Name of Masternode”,
“result” : “successful”,
“error” : “”
}2) Back in the Remote Wallet, start the masternode
/home/martkist/bin/martkist-cli startmasternode local falseA message “
masternode successfully started” should appear
3) Use the following command to check status
/home/martkist/bin/martkist-cli masternode statusYou should see something like
{
“txhash” : “Collateral Output TXID”,
“outputidx” : Collateral Output Index,
“netaddr” : “IP Address:4040,
“addr” : “Masternode Address”,
“status” : 4,
“message” : “Masternode successfully started”
}Congratulations! You have successfully created your masternode!
