Thank you johnp, the guides have been really helpful! Quick suggestion, if you have a few spare minutes, to edit the guide (and manual setup guide) to account for the 4.1.3 bug requiring console-based masternode initialization. This issue tripped me up for about 4 hours until I found the resolution this forum; it’s not the easiest to search for since the error message about allocating the txid doesn’t (at least to me) clearly point to the fix. Especially for newer users, I think it would be helpful to replace or update the part in the guides about “clicking Initialize” to instead walk folks through the console-based initialization as described elsewhere on the forum. Thanks!!

I tried to follow the setup guide in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) but got the following error when trying to do
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

How to fix this?
Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, this ppa isn’t available for Ubuntu 20.04.
They script may work without the ppa as db4.8 is available in later versions of Ubuntu, but that’s untested and out of scope.
