REQUIREMENTS:

2500 SATC
A single 24/7 running computer running Windows.
Optional: A dynamic DNS program like NOIP


IP needs to be the public IP address of your computer. If your IP changes, you might need to use a dynamic IP program like NOIP as stated above.



(Tutorial will use Windows as main wallet and masternode)



1) Open the debug console and type the following command:


masternode genkey


 (This will be the masternode's privkey. We'll use this later...)



2) Next, enter the following command :


getaccountaddress masternodename


3) Send 2500 SATC to the address. (Make sure this is 100% only 2500; No less, no more.)



4) Next, enter the command into the console:




masternode outputs

 (This gets the proof of transaction of sending 2500)



5) Go into the Satoshi data directory, by default in Windows it'll be %Appdata%/Satoshi. (Where is my Satoshi data directory)


Find masternode.conf and add the following line to it:




 <Name of Masternode(Use the name you entered earlier for simplicity)> <IP address>:12453 <The result of Step 1> <Result of Step 4> <The number after the long line in Step 4>




Example: MN1 31.14.135.27:12453 892WPpkqbr7sr6Si4fdsfssjjapuFzAXwETCrpPJubnrmU6aKzh c8f4965ea57a68d0e6dd384324dfd28cfbe0c801015b973e7331db8ce018716999 1



Substitute it with your own values and without the "<>"s



6) Open the Satoshi.conf file (Find it or use the edit the config file in the Satoshi-qt client under "Tools"). Make it look like this:

rpcuser=long random username
rpcpassword=longer random password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
masternode=1
externalip=your unique public ip address
bind=your unique public ip address
masternodeaddr=your unique public ip address
masternodeprivkey=Result of Step 1



Make sure to replace rpcuser & rpcpassword with your own.



8) Close and restart your wallet.



9) Open the Debug Console and enter the following command:




masternode start-alias <yourmasternodename_from_step_2>
