COLX Masternode installation guide (summary)

For security, you should create a hot/cold setup with TWO wallets:

- One wallet for the masternode (24/7, so either a VPS or a server in your home). This will be the masternode. IT WILL CONTAIN NO FUNDS!

- One wallet on your pc. THIS WILL CONTAIN THE FUNDS. You can use it to start the masternode server and then close this wallet.





First install the masternode wallet.

- It must use the default port: 51572 (and ususally 51573 for RPC);

- Write down the IP address, you'll need it later;

- Open ports, NAT, firewall if you need to;

- Start it. On linux: colxd --deamon

- Synchonize the blockchain.

- Stop it to make adjustments later. On linux: colx-cli stop

- The masternode wallet will stay empty at all times!





Then install your PC wallet:

- This is just a regular install of the wallet with a GUI

- Synchonize the blockchain.

Transfer the funds to your PC wallet:

- Create a new receiving account (File, Receiving Addresses, New), call it 'Masternode 01' or whatever you like.

- Transfer exactly 10,000,000 to that account (must be one 10,000,000 payment, not mulitple small amounts).

Check your payment:

- In the console (Tools Menu, Debug Console), use 'masternode outputs'.

- For valid 10,000,000 payments, it will give you a transaction_id and a transaction_index (usually 0 or 1).

- Copy/paste these values to textfile, you will need them later.

Create a unique number for your masternode:

- In the console, use 'masternode genkey'

- Save it to the textfile, you will need it later.

Enter your masternode details in your PC wallet:

- Click Tools, Open Masternode Configuration File (or open masternodes.conf)

- On one line, enter: some name without spaces like

MN01 (space) masternode IP:port (space) generated_key (space) transaction_id (space) transaction_index

- Save the file and restart (I think)





Configure your masternode in ColossusCoinXT.conf:

- Add masternode=1

- Add masternodeprivkey={the key you generated}

- (re)start it. On linux: colx-cli stop / colxd --deamon

- The debug.log should say that the masternode is waiting to be started (from the PC wallet).





Activate the masternode from your PC wallet:

- Go to page 'Masternodes'

- Click 'update status' to see

- Use any of the start buttons to register the masternode with the network.

- IF IT COMPLAINS ABOUT TXID: Use the console iinstead: 'masternode start-alias MN01'





Check your masternode:

- The debug.log should say 'Enabled!'.

- It will start Pinging the masternode system to keep its registration alive.





YOU CAN NOW CLOSE THE PC WALLET!

- If you open it, your masternode payments will appear (after block 10.080).
