Monoeci Masternode Setup with VPS

HilariousRansoms

@Mathieu @Spanner thanks guys! I logged in as root and managed to install, was a bit confused when to login as root and when to login as the user.

Problem no2: in step 6 I'm getting the error "Monoecid: command not found". I've tried in root and the user and I've also done it with and without step 5.1. I've made sure to try both "monoecid -daemon" and "./monoecid -daemon" but it doesn't work. Step 5 and 5.1 seemingly went without issue.

Spanner

HilariousRansoms That means it cant find the compiled monoecid executable in your /usr/local directory.
I see @Mathieu says to copy it to /user/local/monoeci/monoeci-0.12.2', but could you try copy it to /user/bin perhaps?

cp monoecid monoeci-tx monoeci-cli /usr/bin

note: I have not set this node up myself, so I could be talking out my ass here

Mathieu

Spanner

HilariousRansoms

Yes, you are right the symbolic link, to get the binarie available, was missing.

sudo ln -s /usr/local/monoeci/monoeci-0.12.2/* /usr/local/bin/

HilariousRansoms

Mathieu @Spanner thanks a lot for your help guys! I'm now on Step 7. I'm a bit apprehensive to send my coins to this new address, how do i access this new address it generates?

Mathieu

HilariousRansoms

first thing, do a copy of your wallet.dat into your folder ~/.monoeciCore/.
You can use Winscp or filezilla for that.

I'm not sure what you mean by how do I access this new address but myself to be sure the address is the right one I often do the following command :

monoeci-cli listaddressgroupings

HilariousRansoms

Mathieu Thanks! Ok I've removed the wallet.dat I created and uploaded the wallet.dat I had on my own PC which contained the 1003 coins (already had 2k confirmations).

Step 8 when I try to unloack uploaded .dat with the password it already had It gives me the error "-bash: apartomypassword: event not found"

Should I skip this bit because it's already encrypted?

Mathieu

HilariousRansoms

if it's already encrypted, you can skip step 8.
If you want to unlock you need to use the following command :

monoeci-cli walletpassphrase toto 600

N.B : if there is a special character in your walletpassphrase, you need to use quotes.

HilariousRansoms

thank you! Mathieu not sure if I'm cursed or just bad lol. Next problem, i do ./venv/bin/py.test ./test and then I get the error

"self = <bitcoinrpc.authproxy.AuthServiceProxy object at 0x7fb3055ab810>

def _get_response(self):
    http_response = self.__conn.getresponse()
    if http_response is None:
        raise JSONRPCException({
            'code': -342, 'message': 'missing HTTP response from server'})

    content_type = http_response.getheader('Content-Type')
    if content_type != 'application/json':
        raise JSONRPCException({

venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bitcoinrpc/authproxy.py:187: JSONRPCException

how to fix?

HilariousRansoms

CliffonCrypto Mathieu thanks guys! monoeci-cli stop gives me the error message:

error: incorrect rpcuser or rpcpassword (authorization failed)

I've checked the nano ~/.monoeciCore/monoeci.conf and it has the right details in, how do I reset the rpc data?

CliffonCrypto

HilariousRansoms Thats strange.

Was there any errors when installing sentinel?

Also can you confirm the Node is actually running. This will help us know where the issue lies

monoeci-cli stop
monoecid

Mathieu

HilariousRansoms

if you have this error message, that mean that you change the variable rpcuser or rpcpassword into ~/.monoeciCore/monoeci.conf without stopping the node first.
You will have to do a dirty kill.

$ ps -aux | grep monoecid | grep -v grep
monaco    8753  3.7 13.9 881148 142120 ?       SLsl Feb01 704:51 monoecid
$ kill -9 8753
$ monoecid

Would appreciate any advise.

MyOnlineWorks

I did all the steps incl. 5.1...next is...

Step 6 : Configure the node (with or without ./ )
monoeci@xxxxxxxxxx:~$ monoecid
monoecid: error while loading shared libraries: libzmq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
monoeci@xxxxxxxxxxx:~$ ./monoecid
./monoecid: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.54.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can anyone advise what to do ?? Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks

Mathieu

MyOnlineWorks

Oki, I already give the answer to this question in the tutorial about MonacoCoin.
This happened because you use Ubuntu 16 when the tutorial is made with Ubuntu 14.

MyOnlineWorks

Mathieu I see what you saying here. I have a Server with Scaleway ad unfortunately they did not give me a choice on Ubuntu Xenial , it did not show different version (14..16 or so on)
I am , like some others here , completely new to this and appreciate any and all help i can get. I had so far a few hiccups , but i am getting there thanks to Cliff, you and other ppl , no as fast as i would love to , but it is all a learning process for me . I also have seen your other post now, unfortunately it did not work for me, still getting the same error message.

Mathieu

MyOnlineWorks

did you succeed to install the libzmq ?
what error message do you get ?

MyOnlineWorks

Mathieu Thank you for getting back to me, its highly appreciated.
I have changed the server to Ubuntu14.... as i had just too many hiccups and started over.

Now i getting this error:
monoeci@Coinworks1:~$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/monoeci/monoeci-0.12.2/
monoeci@Coinworks1:~$ sudo cp monoecid monoeci-tx monoeci-cli /usr/local/monoeci/monoeci-0.12.2/
monoeci@Coinworks1:~$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/monoeci/monoeci-0.12.2/* /usr/local/bin/
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/local/bin/monoeci-cli': File exists
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/local/bin/monoecid': File exists
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/local/bin/monoeci-tx': File exists
monoeci@Coinworks1:~$

and of course still:

monoeci@Coinworks1:~$ monoecid -deamon
monoecid: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.54.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
monoeci@Coinworks1:~$

So i went to the link that you posted as a comment a few days ago....

monoeci@Coinworks1:~$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/monoeci/monoeci-0.12.2/* /usr/local/bin/
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/local/bin/monoeci-cli': File exists
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/local/bin/monoecid': File exists
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/local/bin/monoeci-tx': File exists
monoeci@Coinworks1:~$

still getting the same error message

Mathieu

MyOnlineWorks

look like you have already created the symbolic link that why you get the error "File exists".
So this command sudo ln -s /usr/local/monoeci/monoeci-0.12.2/* /usr/local/bin/ succeed once.
Don't take care of this error anymore.

The second error, look like you have an issue with the step 4.
Can you please do this command again ?

sudo apt-get -y install libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-all-dev unzip libminiupnpc-dev python-virtualenv
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils

Mathieu Thanks Mathieu ...i have redone the steps from the point you mention ...now it works !!! Merci beaucoup ..thanks ..danke schoen

before i go on with it, can i just make sure that i understand the next steps correctly pls.
rpcuser= Insert a new username
rpcpassword= insert a new password

Step 6. Set up a new masternode. ...
I have done that all the steps ...gen key, get address, 1000 coins, encrypt with the core wallet, as it was writen at the homepage of Monoeci to start with that.....now, can i somehow use that wallet details or do i need to set up as u mention here and transfer the 1000 coin again ?
If i can use that wallet, what would be the command to connect between the wallet address and here ?

Mathieu

MyOnlineWorks

Cool. Merci is good for me.

what do you mean by

can i just make sure that i understand the next steps correctly pls.

example :

rpcuser=MyOnlineWorks
rpcpassword=ETc5dr63terfgds78b45df2b

Oki, you are at the coin transfer. This can be fun. be careful
I ask questions because I need more information before to reply.

Where are you 1000 coins ?

windows wallet (2 options) :
- If you did a transfer exactly 1000 coins you can backup the wallet and put it on your masternode.
- if you didn't transfer exactly 1000 coins,
  -You have less than 1000 coins, you need to get more coins to do an exact transfer of 1000 coins. don't forget the fee.
  -You have more than 1000 coins, you can transfer 1000 coins + fee to your masternode wallet.
the masternode ?
- you are good to go.
exchanger ?
- you can transfer 1000 coins + fee to your masternode wallet.

MyOnlineWorks

Mathieu
Thanks again.
Please ask what you need to know to make me understand it 100%, as you are right, the fun starts here...lol
My coins are on the Monoeci Core Genesis Wallet. I started the set up by following the instruction at the Moneci Homepage ( https://monoeci.io/tutorial-masternode-server/ ) and there they start by setting up first an extra wallet address , encrypt the wallet and set the gen key and then sending exactly 1000 coins there.
I was thinking that i can use that details here without that i have to set up another wallet address or sending the coins around.
I am really getting a little bit nervous and don't like to make anything wrong,...so i hope you not mind all my questions.

Mathieu

MyOnlineWorks

Oki, you followed the tutorial so you have exactly 1000 coins on your wallet.

On your windows machine :
You need to export your wallet File -> Save wallet.
You will get a wallet.dat.

On your masternode stop the daemon and move your wallet.dat

monoeci-cli stop
mv ~/.monoeciCore/wallet.dat ~/.monoeciCore/wallet.bak

On your windows machine you need to copy your wallet.dat to the masternode into ~/.monoeciCore/
Winscp is good to do that.
check the permission if you have a specific user to do the transfer (example : transfer with root and user for monoeci).

On you masternode start the daemon

monoecid -daemon

Check if the wallet is correctly imported

monoeci-cli listtransactions
monoeci-cli getbalance

You are now on step 8.
You can see your coins on windows and the masternode.
