Step-by-Step Guide: Staking DopeCoin on Linux VPS

Below is a quick guide to getting the DopeCoin Gold wallet set up on a Linux VPS

This is a simple set up guide for setting up a DopeCoin PoS staking wallet on a 24/7 VPS.

Throughout this guide, I will reference digital ocean which is where I purchase my VPS's. Feel free to use this invite link should you fee like it....: https://m.do.co/c/094377fc34f1

Lets get started... This tutorial will be for an Ubuntu 16.04 VPS hosted through Digital Ocean.

Download Putty/PuttyGen: https://www.ssh.com/ssh/putty/windows/puttygen and generate a key pair that can be saved to your Digital Ocean Account. (If you are unsure how to do this, ask in the comments below but I wont spend much time here)

Once connected to your server droplet for the first time run the commands below*

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Install these dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool automake autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev libgmp3-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install libdb++-dev
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

Create your swap file:
sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

Create new users with superuser rights

adduser "namehere"
Quotation marks not needed above. Answers to additional user questions not required.

Give new user super rights

adduser "namehere" sudo
This function adds this new user to the sudo group.

Switch to the new user you just created
su "namehere"

get your Dopecoin wallet downloaded form github
cd ~/
mkdir DopeCoinGold
cd DopeCoinGold
sudo git clone https://github.com/dopecoin-dev/DopeCoinGold.git
cd DopeCoinGold

Build Wallet in /DopeCoinGold

cd src
sudo make -f makefile.unix

At this point if you get an error for "fatal error: miniupnpc/miniwget.h" Enter the codes below:

cd ~/
sudo apt-get remove qt3-dev-tools libqt3-mt-dev
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libminiupnpc-dev

Then back into the DopeCoin directory

cd DopeCoinGold/DopeCoinGold/src
sudo make -f makefile.unix

Once Complete
Start Wallet
./dopecoind -daemon (starts)

--You might be told to set up config file here, if so copy and paste the provided rpcusername and password or generate your own in the format below.. follow these instruction:
cd ~/
mkdir /home/user/.DopeCoinV4
cd ./DopeCoinV4
sudo nano dopecoin.conf

rpcuser="example long random username"
rpcpassword=example longer random password"

The click Ctrl + x and then type "y" and press enter

Now back to start the wallet
cd DopeCoinGold/DopeCoinGold/src
./dopecoind -daemon

Your wallet server is now active.

./dopecoind getinfo (see blockchain progress)
./dopecoind encryptwallet "addpasswordhere"

After you encrypt your wallet, it will stop. You must restart the wallet and enter your passphrase along with a time parameter to leave the wallet unlocked only for staking.

When you are in the DopeCoinGold/DopeCoinGold/src directory. Start the daemon again.

./dopecoind -daemon
.dopecoind walletpassphrase "Examplepassword here" 9999999 true

You dopecoin wallet is not unlocked for staking and running on a 24/7 VPS.
