when i run this command, I get the following error:

___________________________
Validating network rules
No IPv6 support on the VPS but IPv6 is the setup default. Please switch to ipv4 with flag "-n 4" if you want to continue.

See the following link for instructions how to add multiple ipv4 addresses on vultr:
https://www.vultr.com/docs/add-secondary-ipv4-address
____________________________

I am not versed in linux, so I have no idea how to go about correcting this.  Any advice?

Are you using IPV6 addresses?  

If you are, you haven't enabled support on your VPS.  In Vultr this is a checkbox on the server setup page.

My nodes are IPV6 enabled even though configured for IPV4.  If yours are not enabled for IPV6, it might be that we need to be more specific with the update command, like:

IPV4 Nodes

IPV6 Nodes

Let me know if this helps.

Ok, that's good, I'll update the other post.  Did you use the command to stop the daemon after that?  It will still be running the old version in memory if the wallet daemon is not restarted.

If you did, it *would* normally be helpful to verify the version running using the getinfo command - but I believe the wallet is still reporting 2.0.0.3... I was going to take a look at this issue but haven't had time just yet.

OK I updated the links on the OP. I still have work to do such as update the version #'s in the source.

Anyway reason for this post.

I need someone to update the article that Goosewobbler wrote below , so that we can run our own VPS server with multiple masternodes. GooseWobbler wrote this, but then others added some additional information in other posts. I need it written for someone that knows NOTHING about linux. I have installed Ubuntu (non server 16.04), and I am ready to test when its complete. Once confirmed, it pays 300 VGS.

Instructions (assumes one node called lasvegas_node1)

<on master wallet>

<Send 1000 VGS to yourself - must be exact>
<Tools menu, debug console>

Enter the following commands:


The result of this is your MN private key.  You need it later.


The result of this is your MN transaction id and index in the format "{tx_id}": "{index}".  You need those later.

<Tools menu, open masternode configuration file>

Add the following details in this file in the following format:


Save the file and close the wallet.  Open the wallet again.

<on VPS>
Run the following commands to compile and install the VPS wallet:


Now edit the VPS wallet config file:



Insert your private key and the IP address of the VPS in the appropriate places and save the file.



Now activate the node locally:


You will need to wait for the VPS wallet blockchain to fully sync before you can start the node remotely.  
Keep running this command, eventually the value of 'blocks' will stabilise:
 

Can someone confirm this , so I can pay the bounty?



The value of 'blocks' will increase until it reaches the 'up to block' value on the block explorer:

When the VPS wallet is fully synced, you can start the node remotely:

<on master wallet>
<Masternodes => My Masternodes => Start MISSING>

You can verify the status of the VPS wallet and masternode with the following:

<on VPS>


Disclaimer

• This has been tested with Vultr Ubuntu 16.04 instance ($5/month).  The $2.50 instances should be fine for a single node but they are always sold out in my region.
• Don't use IPV6 addresses, I have yet to see the script work with those for any coin.
• The script supports more than one node per VPS instance but I prefer to keep mine separate so haven't tested that.
• This is not my script, but I did the LasVegasCoin integration amongst others, this should be merged upstream when Florian gets to my PR, it's been sat there a while with the others.  Seems he's busy messing around with Achilles Coin

Glen, I am in the process of doing payouts, and had to open the wallet.

Vegas

its magic isnt it

lets teach vegasguy to work miracles too
and something good can happen with VGS

Thanks for the transaction Vegas Guy.  I still think the project has a lot of potential; if we can work through the technical hitches, get some stable development done and work on the USP of the coin then more people will be attracted to it and we can build a decent-sized community.

However I'm still confused about what exactly you want regarding this node guide/script.  Who is running this server?  Whose machine are we using?  For what purpose are "we" hosting nodes?  Is it a node pool?  For n00bs who don't know how to use Linux to give their coins up to us in return for a managed service?  We need more infrastructure for that.  Or are you simply wanting to test that our node guide works for someone who supposedly knows nothing but still managed to install Ubuntu?  I don't understand.

I can make a brain-dead guide if you like, every click laid out from first screen of ubuntu to a running node.  However, aside from the fact that the guide will be huge and most people won't need it - there are other issues:

• Running a node on a VPS is the easiest option, you increase security and avoid a lot of complication by having a separate wallet for your node on a remote, always on, managed server.
• If you really want a brainless MN setup, you're looking in the wrong place.  N00bs won't even consider installing Ubuntu - that is too complex and risky.  Maybe you want VGS on the Gin platform. https://p.gincoin.io/#!/

Personally I think we should be concentrating on the fundamentals of this coin, the differentiating points - before messing around with nodes, and yes, ROI.  Look at Campus Coin, they haven't even got Masternodes yet and they're building a significant community and a lot of buzz because they have a unique, well thought out idea and plan of execution for bringing that coin to real-world usage not *some time in the future* but NOW.  They're prioritising mobile app development, considering usecases, getting their coin in the hands of their users above everything else, and that's what we should be doing.

@Vegas :


drove your Car through Vegas with sitting this Promogirl besides you .
Go in the Hotels , Casinos , dark Corners and the Rest and tell EVERYBODY about VGS


Thats YOUR JOB . do it and dont think about technical Things .

You should better drove and promote as sit and thinking about technical Specs .



Just my 2 Cents

I see the source is forked now. I hope the Community  will be happy with this new way.

The old wallet and chain is still online.
