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!!!
