Syndicate Guide

Do not forget step 4. It really means a lot to me. Thanks!

Use this instruction and the youtube video to install the wallet, fix wallet issues and setup one/multiple masternode(s). This guide is for the creation of separate Controller Wallet & Masternode. For Security reasons, THIS IS THE PREFERRED way to run a Masternode. By running your Masternode in this way you are protecting your coins in your private wallet, and are not required to have your local wallet running after the Masternode has been started successfully. Your coins will be safe if the masternode server gets hacked.

6. You can optionaly encrypt the wallet (Settings => Encypt wallet) for security reasons. Do not forget the password or you lose the coins that you have.
7. Backup %appdata%/Syndicate/wallet.dat file. This contains your coins. DO NOT LOSE IT!

2.2 VPS setup

1. Register on vultr.

   • Server Size: 5$/mo, 1GB memory (This server is capable to run 3 masternodes. One masternode need 300-400Mb memory)

   • Note: You can't edit the masternodes config in the wallet but you can edit the file. %appdata%/Syndicate/masternode.conf.

3. FAQ

1. What if I restart the server?
   • The script setup a cron job so the masternode automaticly starts every time when the vps turns on.
2. How to get masternode profit?
   • Enable coin controll feature (Settings => Options => Display => Display coin controll feature)
   • Go send tab
   • Select from the input button only the 5 coin lines
   • Click OK
   • You can send selected amount to an address.
   • Note: DO NOT EVER Transfer synx from that original 5k deposit or you'll break your Masternode.
3. What is the password for the mn1 account?
   • There is no default password. When you create a user it does not have a password yet, so you cannot login with that username until you create a password. There is one other way to act as a new user without its password. As root type su - mn1
   • You need to set a password for the user. Use the passwd command: passwd mn1
4. I get the following error: "Could not allocate vin"
