Amero Masternode setup

Local wallet

In Menu Click >Settins >Options then Wallet TAB - Check mark the Show Masternodes Tab.

Next in Menu Click >Tools >Debug console Enter the following command: "masternode genkey" and press ENTER. 

You will see a long string of numbers and letters. On your Desktop, create a new notepad file. copy/paste this string to the notepad file. This is the key you will need to verify your Masternode later in the process. 

From wherever you currently hold your 1,000 amx please send your ameros to your new address in your wallet. Make sure the "PrivateSend" checkbox is unchecked.

IMPORTANT: You must send EXACTLY 1,000 Amero to this address, no more, no less, to be eligible to run a Masternode!

On the command line, enter "masternode outputs".

The long string is your transaction hash, and the last number is the index. You now have all the information you need. The masternode.conf must look like this (no spaces between MN IP and PORT):

LABEL MN IP : PORT MASTERNODEPRIVKEY TRANSACTIONHASH_INDEX

Example: MN1 52.14.2.67:17555 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 0

#Back on the local Computer, go to “%appdata%/AmeroCore/amero.conf” and add these 2 lines with your values. (You set rpcuser & rpcpassword on the vps)

rpcuser=anyuserqw

 #You now need to create a masternode.conf file on your Windows PC, to link with it.

#Now go to “%appdata%/AmeroCore/masternode.conf” and add the following lines (with your values) ....

The masternode.conf must look like this (no spaces between MN IP and PORT):

LABEL MN IP : PORT MASTERNODEPRIVKEY TRANSACTIONHASH_INDEX

Example: MN1 52.14.2.67:17555 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 0 

Please shut down and re-start your AmeroCore QT wallet. This is so the program recognizes the masternode.conf and is ready for masternode activation.
