i’m using digitalocean so i would use that?

#5

I don’t know anything about them. I would think they would have emailed you the IP or you could find it in your account on their site

#6

are you an ADmin that can help. literally just setting up my masternode on the wallet havent even connected my digital ocean acct to it yet

#7

You will need to purchase your VPS and then you’ll be able to figure out its IP address. You will then be able to fill out your masternode.conf file

#8

Follow this guide exactly and you should be set - https://medium.com/@syscoin/syscoin-4-masternodes-setup-guide-d120bd3b6bd4

#11

how do i use my masternode genkey to get my masternode private key?

#12

so in the discord group. i was told the masternode privte Key goes here. The steps does not say that only the vps ip address. 2ndly after the ip address :8369 where does this come from? i see in the masternode list alot of masternodes are setup like that. how do i find my number to input

#13

Yes it’s your masternode genkey/privkey. Same thing. You just need to add the :8369 behind your IP address.

#14

The masternode.conf tells you the format and what things are but it can be confusing if the window isn’t maximized so everything is on the same line

#15

i’m using digital ocean, the ip address keeps changing is it ok to use any ip address it generates?

#16

You need a static IP address so as long as it doesn’t change after you set it up it’s fine

#17

i’m adding :8369 in the masternode.config file?

#18
