Hey guys, I got a quick question:
I am about to set up a Masternode on Windows but unfortunately I have no static IP. However, I managed to install a DynDNS Client on the server and establish an address. Everything is working but how do I get the DRK Client to connect with the DynDNS address?
If you're meaning from home on the same machine, thats local hot wallet holding 1000 coins and remote (masternode) machine in one.
This is fairly easy to do, use the normal
darkcoin-qt.exe wallet from homepage,run and then stop it running, and put this as a new file
darkcoin.conf in the roaming (hidden windows folder), with your own passwords of course, then run darkcoin-qt again.
You do not need to specify an external ip because your masternode is on the same machine so it can be dynamic. You can specify the internal ip which is normally something like 192.168.0.2, you can fix this local ip inside LAN settings using internet protocol version 4(TCP IPV4) in properties and specify a fixed local ip address with masking etc, although you might be able to skip this if only 1 machine and your router's firewall port forwards ok.
Config is something like this,
"rpcuser=researchisgood
rpcpassword=crystalmethwhores
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
addnode=23.23.186.131
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey='masternode genkey' "
your masternode privkey must be generated from the wallet debug console using the command 'masternode genkey' after sending 1000 darkcoin to an address in the fresh wallet.
And goto wallet console and command 'masternode start crystalmethwhores', it should say masternode succesfully started..
I have missed some steps out for simplicity, and I suggest you read TaoOfSatoshi's most excellent guide on how to setup and have a play around before coming back with more questions but be warned it is for a hot/cold setup but is a similar kind of thing.
