  2. 15,000 ZNZ Coins
  3. A VULTR VPS running Linux with Ubuntu 16.04 OS installed
  4. An SSH Client (Bitvise)

Contents

  • Section A: Creating the VPS on VULTR
  • Section B: Downloading and installing Bitvise
  • Section C: Connecting to the VPS and file installation
  • Section D: Preparing the ZENZO/ZNZ Local Wallet
  • Section E: Connecting & Starting the ZENZO/ZNZ Masternode

Section A: Creating the VPS within VULTR

Step 1

Step 1

  • Copy your VPS IP (Servers Tab -> Your Server Name -> Overview). Example-VULTR

Step 2

  • Open the Bitvise application (.exe file) and click yes to all changes it asks).

Step 3

Step 10

  • Extract this file (on your Desktop to make things easier and faster).
  • You will now see 4 files, but will only need the first 3.
    • zenzo-cli
    • zenzo-tx
    • zenzod
    • zenzo-qt

Step 11

  • In your Bitvise Terminal, create two new directories. Type in the following 2 commands(separately, one at a time).
