How do I setup a masternode? (HNC)

Use the following instructions to setup a masternode for a X11 based coin on Ubuntu Server 18.04.

Make sure that you have the following requirements.

• Required amount of coins to setup the masternode.
• A wallet to store your coins.
• A server or VPS.

Install the required dependencies

  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HellenicCoin-HNC/node/main/install-dependencies.sh
  chmod +x install-dependencies.sh
  ./install-dependencies.sh

Upload the daemon and tools

wget "https://github.com/HellenicCoin-HNC/node/raw/main/helleniccoin-daemon-linux.tar.gz" -O helleniccoin-daemon-linux.tar.gz 
wget "https://github.com/HellenicCoin-HNC/node/raw/main/helleniccoin-qt-linux.tar.gz" -O helleniccoin-qt-linux.tar.gz 
tar -xzvf helleniccoin-daemon-linux.tar.gz 
tar -xzvf helleniccoin-qt-linux.tar.gz 
sudo mv helleniccoind helleniccoin-cli helleniccoin-tx /usr/bin/ 

Create the config file.

 mkdir $HOME/.helleniccoin 
 nano $HOME/.helleniccoin/helleniccoin.conf 

Paste the following lines in helleniccoin.conf.

rpcuser=rpc_helleniccoin 
rpcpassword=kuw05sqio7bcm8z96o7redv17xws1lw6xpd1qf33 
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 

listen=1 
server=1 
daemon=1 
maxconnections=64 

#masternode=1 
#masternodeblsprivkey= 
externalip=REPLACE_WITH_EXTERNAL_IP_OF_VPS 

Leave the fields “masternode” and “masternodeblsprivkey” commented out.

Replace the text “REPLACE_WITH_EXTERNAL_IP_OF_VPS” with the external IP address of your VPS.

E.G. externalip=136.144.171.201

Start your node with the following command.

helleniccoind

Wait until the command “mnsync status” returns the status “MASTERNODE_SYNC_FINISHED”.

helleniccoin-cli mnsync status

Example output

{ 
  "AssetID": 999, 
  "AssetName": "MASTERNODE_SYNC_FINISHED", 
  "AssetStartTime": 1558596597, 
  "Attempt": 0, 
  "IsBlockchainSynced": true, 
  "IsSynced": true, 
  "IsFailed": false 
} 

Send the collateral

Create a new address for the fee.

helleniccoin-cli getnewaddress

Example output THBSKbJgn7g2x3PAbNuW6whkecqrq9aUn6

Send 1 coin to the address that you just created.

Create a new address for the masternode collateral.

helleniccoin-cli getnewaddress

Example output TRPLV4dXmEFMSgXg2Xu6skN9pmw8TAo4N5

Transfer the required amount of coins (1000000) to the address that you just created.
Wait until the transaction has the required masternode confirmations.(19)

Identify the funding transaction.

helleniccoin-cli masternode outputs

Example output

{ 
  "fdab9dff1ff9caf5d291905ad43b9f7d69775189d4d22cb085d7fedd94ea1c6a": "0" 
} 

Register your masternode

Generate a BLS key pair.

helleniccoin-cli bls generate

Example output

bls generate 
{ 
  "secret": "0acbf6f183d0c9b794b9bc0dba25f8a1a1eca21aa4f2e4a86ecd3120a59efb35", 
  "public": "064bb1741f4707cfe3629176857c41e0d23cbe751061fe5d0d67b506db10c8f3f6f2b684c3cec8e4a128193a001d12e9" 
} 

Place the secret key in the config file of your masternode and uncomment (delete #) the values “masternode” and “masternodeblsprivkey”. Example config

#---- 
rpcuser=rpc_helleniccoin 
rpcpassword=kuw05sqio7bcm8z96o7redv17xws1lw6xpd1qf33 
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
