SIBCoin - Master Node Setup in VPS

After lot of trail and error the following steps worked for me ... I am not SIB developer so I might not be able to solve all the errors ....let's get started!!!

If you already have a VPS image  you can skip step 1 & 2

Step 1 :-  Create a VPS  ...I installed Ubuntu 16.0.4... please follow the below youtube URL from the Chaincoin channel...who has done a excellent work!!! kudos!!!

Step 2 :- Secure the VPS ... please follow the below youtube URL from the Chaincoin channel.

Step 3 :-  Install dependencies... run the following commands sequentially 

free

sudo chmod 0600 /var/swap.img

sudo chown root:root /var/swap.img

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Append the following line to the end of the file ...Save the file and exit

/var/swap.img none swap sw 0 0

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install automake

sudo apt-get install libdb++-dev

sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev 

sudo apt-get install autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev

sudo apt-get install git

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

sudo apt-get install g++

sudo apt-get install libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

Step 4 :- Compile and Install SIB

cd ~

git clone https://github.com/ivansib/sibcoin.git

cd ~/sibcoin/

./autogen.sh ( should not see any error )

./configure ( should not see any error  )

make

sudo make install

sibcoind &  ( Starting sincoin daemon)

sibcoin-cli getblockcount  ( will list the blockcount  will take few minutes to download the blocks and sync with network)

Step 5 :-  Install SIB Wallet in the Windows and transfer like 1005 sincoin ... I personally prefer to have extra coin to have enough for the tx fee

Step 6 :-  Wait for the windows wallet to sync with network 100% ... Windows and VPS block count ( sibcoin-cli getblockcount ) should match.

Step 7 :- Setup windows wallet

7.1 :-  Tools-> Debug Console 

7.2 :-  getaccountaddress  < alias node name ex: sibnode0 or mn0>  (NOTE DOWN THE GENERATED ADDRESS)

7.3 :-  masternode genkey  ( NOTE DOWN THE GENERATED KEY)

7.4 :-  sendtoaddress < address generated in 7.2 > 1000

7.5 :-  masternode outputs ( NOTE DOWN THE TX-ID and INDEX  PRINTED)

Step 8 :- Modify the masternode.conf in windows

8.1 :-  Windows + R

8.2 :-  %appdata% and click OK

8.3 :-  Open Sibcoin folder

8.4 :-  Open the masternode.conf file

8.5 :-   add the line in following format and save the file

   

             < master node alias name used 7.2>    <VPS IP>:1945 < master node key generated in 7.3> <TX ID printed in 7.5> <TX index printed in 7.5>

8.6 :-  It is better to take a backup of wallet.dat  & masternode.conf from %appdate%\sibcoin

Step 9:-  Update sibcoin.conf in the VPS

9.1 :- Login to VPS

9.2 :- cd ~/.sibcoin/

9.3 :- nano sibcoin.conf

9.4 :- add the following lines in the sibcoin.conf ( modify rpcuser, rpcpassword, masternodeprivkey)

rpcuser=USERNAME

rpcpassword=USERPASSWORD

server=1

listen=1

daemon=1

masternode=1

masternodeprivkey=KEY FROM THE STEP 7.3

9.5 :-  Save and Exit sibcoin.conf

9.6 :-  sudo reboot ( Yeah! I am Windows GUY  !!! )

9.7 :-  login to VPS

9.8 :-  sibcoind &  ( Starting sincoin daemon)

Step 10 :- Start the Masternod in Window

10.1 : - Tools -> Debug Console

10.2 :-  masternode start-alias < Masternode alias name used in 7.2 and configured in masternode.conf >

10.3 :-  you should see a message printed like below...

{

  "alias": "< YOUR MASTERNODE ALIAS NAME>",

  "result": "successful"

}

Step 11 :-  In the VPS run following command

sibcoin-cli masternode status

Step 12 :- you should see the result like this...

{

  "vin": "CTxIn(COutPoint(< TXID from STEP 7.5 >, 1), scriptSig=)",

  "service": "YOUR VPS IP:1945",

  "payee": "YOUR address from STEP 7.2",

  "status": "Masternode successfully started"

}

GOOD LUCK!!!
