3 = Your masternode is inactive.

If the error reoccurs then you may need to reinstall your VPS, remove the masternode (see below) from your masternode.conf file, and begin the setup from the beginning
The above steps will create a 'masternode.conf' file in your %appdata% folder (windows). Masternodes can be removed by editing or deleting file. Your collateral will reappear after you restart your wallet.
You may need to wait a few hours or even a day to receive rewards depending on the number of masternodes on the network.

After 30 minutes, your masternode Active(secs) will be reflected in the Buntu subtab
