   • 3.2. General Info

     When Vivo selected, there is some general info you should acknowledge:

     • You will need 1,000 VIVO as your masternode collateral.
     • 0.133 USD in MEDIC will be deducted from your account balance daily for the platform hosting fee.
     • The wallet may not lock MN collateral. Please make sure to lock it manually so you won't spend the collateral by mistake.

      

     If you have at least (1,000 VIVO) and your account balance can cover at least 1 day of service, click Next button to continue the deployment.

   • • 3.3.1. Creating collateral adddress and sending masternode collateral

       If you already had collateral transaction hash (but haven't had masternode online yet), click "Next" to continue.

       If you are migrating from another masternode hosting platform or your own VPS, please see migration instructions.

       If this is your new masternode, follow the below instructions.

       Create MN collateral adddress and send collateral coins

       • Open debug console from the top menu: Help (or Tools) -> Debug window -> Console
       • In Console, type getnewaddress MN_LABEL (where MN_LABEL is name of your choice, eg: MN1) then hit Enter. This generates a new address in your wallet with label as your choice. We will call this "collateral address"
       • Send exactly 1000 (no more, no less, in 1 transaction) to the collateral address you just generated above. If current version of your wallet has an option "Subtract fee from amount", make sure that it is NOT checked.
       • Copy transaction id (txhash), and click "Next" to continue.
     • 3.3.2. Masternode Migration Instructions

       Skip this step if it isn't a new masternode.

       To prevent losing rewards, you are advised to migrate your masternode in following cases:

       •   1. You just got a reward a few minutes ago. Because you are now in a long queue for next reward, it's right time to migrate now.
       •   2. Your masternode hosting or VPS down for over 60 minutes.
       •   3. Your masternode already disappeared from blockchain.

       If you're ready to migrate now, see the below instructions.

       • Stop masternode on local wallet.
       • Stop masternode daemon / process on current masternode hosting or your own VPS. DO NOT delete / destroy the stopped masternode on current hosting platform or VPS until the migration is successful.
       • Wait for 75-80 minutes. Then check blockchain masternodes list. If your masternode disappears, click "Next" to continue.
   • 3.4. Masternode Configuration

     You need to provide some information so the wizard can verify and provide proper local wallet setup instructions.

     1. Transaction ID: the transaction id of masternode collateral you have copied in the above steps or you have recorded it. If you don't find it, look up it on block explorer.
     2. MN Alias: optional but recommended for ease of management. If you don't provide it, the wizard will generate it for you.

     Then click Next button to continue the deployment. The wizard will verify provided info, especially Collateral Transaction ID.

   • • 3.5. Collateral Verification

       The wizard will verify the provided Collateral Transaction ID. If the verification is successful, you will get some advices (actually warnings) like this:

       Success!

       Transaction ID has been verified successfully

       • Click Next button to deploy masternode.
       • WARNING: the next process may take up to 30 minutes. Please be patient! Take some snacks and enjoy.
       • WARNING: DO NOT close browser or this window / tab.
       • WARNING: DO NOT refresh this page.

        

       If the verification is failed, you will get error like this

       Error!

       Transaction ID is not valid (or another status)

       In this case, make sure that you provide the latest and correct masternode collateral transaction ID (txhash) then try again.

       Then click Next button to continue the deployment.

   • 3.6. Masternode Deployment

     The MedicCoin Masternode Hosting Platform will deploy your Vivo (VIVO) Masternode very quickly.

     After the deployment, a popup called Local Wallet Setup Instructions will appear. You should follow the instructions to start your masternode from local wallet. If you missed the instructions, see the next section below.

 

Starting Vivo (VIVO) Masternode On Local Wallet

This section is for general purpose for all Vivo (VIVO) masternodes. If you missed Local Wallet Setup Instructions of a specific masternode, find the instructions as instructed below

For a specific masternode

1. go to Masternodes page
2. click on a masternode to view masternode detail page
3. click on View Configuration Instructions

 

For general purpose

Your masternode has been started on server. Please follow instructions below to start and control the masternode on your local wallet:

• 1. Open masternode configuration file: Tools -> "Open Masternode Configuration File". If your wallet does not have this menu, find the file named masternode.conf in your wallet data directory:
  • * Windows: C:\Users\{YourUsername}\AppData\Roaming\\VivoCore
          or enter %AppData%\\VivoCore in file explorer address bar.
  • * Mac: ~Library/Application Support/VivoCore
  • * Linux: ~/.VivoCore
  If you don't see masternode.conf, create it.
• 2. At the end of file, add a new row. Then copy the information that you get from step Deploy Masternode Instruction and paste into masternode.conf by format below:

  MN-Alias MN-IP:12845 MN_Priv_Key TX_ID TX_Index

  You also can download config file in masternode management page.
• 3. Save and close the masternode.conf file.
• 4. Completely exit the wallet (File -> Exit) and start it again.
• 5. Wait for the wallet to completely sync (progress bar at bottom disappears). Once your collateral transaction gets 15 confirmations, continue to the next step.
• 6. Go to Masternodes section, select your masternode and click on Start (or Start alias). If the masternode started successfully, you're done. You can close this instruction.
  
  In alternative you can use Console to start the masternode: Tools (or Help) -> Debug window -> Console, enter the command: masternode start-alias MN_Alias. Close the window after your masternode successfully starts.
  
  If the start fails, try these solutions:
  • * If you encrypted the wallet, Un-lock wallet and start again.
  • * If you lock unspent the masternode collateral, Un-lock unspent the masternode collateral and start again.
  • * Check if your firewall denies outgoing connections to MN_IP:12845, allow outgoing connections to the IP:Port and start again.
  • * If the problem persists after the above solutions, contact us at discord.gg/sdZsHPY.
• 7. That's it. Congratulations on your own masternode!
