Masternode Setup On Windows
This guide will show you how to set up a FriendshipCoin masternode on Windows.
Download the latest friendshipcoin daemon for windows:
Friendshipcoin Github Downloads
Extract the archive and note the path such as:
C:\Users\yourname\Downloads\friendshipcoin-0.0.9-win64\
You may wish to extract to somewhere like C:\masternode
and work from there.
Setup
Open a Command Prompt win+r cmd
and run install.bat
which installs the needed files to %APPDATA%\Roaming\friendshipcoin\
.
Run friendshipcoind.exe to start the daemon. Allow friendshipcoind.exe
through the firewall at the prompt.
In a new Command Prompt window, navigate to your friendshipcoind.exe
location and run friendshipcoind.exe getinfo
and check the blocks against the FriendshipCoin explorer.
Generate a new address
Run friendshipcoind.exe getnewaddress 0
to get a new address for account 0. You can use any name in place of 0 if you like.
Send masternode collateral to the resulting address (exactly 14466 FSC).
Wait for 1 confirmation, generate masternode private key and save the output
friendshipcoind masternode genkey
Get masternode transaction and index and save the output
friendshipcoind masternode
outputs
Here is an example:
{ "60835a7d867d335434925c32f38902268e131e99a5821557d3e77f8ca3829fd8" : "0"}
Stop friendshipcoind
friendshipcoind.exe stop
Edit friendshipcoin.conf with your masternode information
Open Explorer win+e
and navigate to %APPDATA%\Roaming\friendshipcoin\ and open friendshipcoin.conf with notepad.
# add these lines:
masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=<your masternode private key>
Save and exit.
In the same directory create masternode.conf, needed for hot/cold wallet:
# use this format:
<masternode alias> <masternode IP>:58008 <masternode private key> <masternode transaction> <MN transaction
index>
Example:
MN01 54.134.163.173:58008 88kPFWmNAdNTcXuHRRWDCUXGEnQkwZvddsrDAANWtz662nCAotr 60835a7d867d335434925c32f38902268e131e99a5821557d3e77f8ca3829fd8 0
It should all be one line, and masternode alias can be whatever you want.
Restart the daemon and launch masternode
Open the first Command Prompt window and restart the daemon with friendshipcoind.exe
.
In the second window run friendshipcoind.exe masternode start
.
Verify the masternode is enabled
friendshipcoind.exe masternode status
Status line should read 1.
