Our guide makes it easy to set up your own masternode!

BEFORE YOU BEGIN, YOU WILL NEED:

1. 1,000 SUPPO’s
2. The latest SuppoCoin wallet, which can always be found here:
https://www.suppocoin.io
3. Two W indows programs (PuTTY: http://www.putty.org/, and WinSCP:
http://winscp.net/eng/download.php#download 2. Installation Package)
4. For Mac, you can e.g. download "Termius" from the AppStore
5. A VPS (see more details below)
6. Patience

On the control wallet (desktop wallet):

1. Generate a masternode private key in your wallet:

Tools → Debug Console

1
 2. Now enter:
masternode genkey
In the input field, then copy the key somewhere safe .

2
 3. Get the address to send your Suppocoin to:
Still in the console type:
getaccountaddress 0

(Copy the address somewhere safe)

4. Send EXACTLY 1000 Suppocoin to the address from step 3.

(In the wallet make sure that "Subtract fee from amount" is NOT ticked)

5. Get the transaction hash and index:

Again still in the console type:
masternode outputs

3
Copy this somewhere safe, the first number is the transaction hash,
The second one is the index. Note: You don't want the quotation marks.

6. Collect the following information:

a. Label: Pick a short identifier for your masternode (do not use any special
characters)
b. IP + Port number: The IP is the IP of your VPS and the port is 7777 by
default
c. Masternode private key: you generated this in step 2 (named mnprikey
below)
d. Transaction Hash: from step 5 (named txhash below)
e. Index: also from step 5

Open masternode.conf via Tools → Open Maste rnode Configuration File.

4
 Have a look at the sample at the commented out example data and then
delete it all.

Now add (make sure to include the spaces ) label ip:port mnprikey
txhash index

Ex.
MN1 45.77.227.151:7777 925FGTGF6pYXXXXX66DDDDAAAAABBBBDEDEDEDE
12345678901234567890deswde342dfr43dfggt654efs334sddft678904edcc 0
Now save the file. (Make sure it is saved as a plain text file, DO NOT save it as
a word document or similar)

For Mac users: Open the terminal and type open -a TextEdit
Library/Application\ Support/suppocore/masternode.conf

VPS SETUP:
What is a VPS?
A VPS is a cloud server, running on a virtual machine. You can’t run a
masternode on your computer itself.

 We suggest a VPS with at least 2 GB of RAM - here is an example:

https://www.hetzner.com/virtual-server/ option CX20
 For the operating system use Debian 9.3 (minimal)

Please refer to your VPS provider on how to log in to your VPS via SSH, as an
example for a client for MAC and W in users, you can check:
http://www.putty.org/

For safety tips, you can also check out https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-

security.html

Note: In the following guide the screen prints are for reference only, you should
update the commands with your own user information when necessary.

Commands are highlighted in Yellow, please copy and paste into the putty
connection in order of this guide and press the enter key after each command.

START YOUR MASTERNODE INSTALLATION:

7. Using any SFTP client, e.g. WinSCP (WIN), FileZilla (MAC) (or
alternatively just use scp on mac or linux), copy the files suppod and
suppo-cli to your VPS (files can download from Linux 64 bit wallet)
make sure you upload it to your root folder.

Open your SFTP client and enter the IP, username and password:

6
Once you have logged in, navigate to the folder where you wish to
transfer the files and copy over Suppod and Suppo-cli:

Take note of the file path where the files have been transferred to:

7
8. Run PUTTY and login with your server username and password

Once logged in, you will see the following screen:

9. type (in Putty/on the VPS):

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codeclock/mn -utils/master/vps-
setup.sh

8
10. Edit the file, type nano vps-setup.sh Then make the required changes to
the file and save and exit (Ctrl X and save)

Ex.
NEWUSER=mark
RPCUSER=mark
RPCPW=abc123
MNPRIKEY=925FGTGF6pYXXXXX66DDDDAAAAABBBBDEDEDEDE
VPSIP=192.1.34.1

11. Make sure you are root and type: chmod +x vps-setup.sh suppo*

12. Grab yourself a coffee/tea or do something else until you have

Enough confirmations to start your masternode, you will need 15
Confirmations. (You can check this in the transactions window in your
wallet, hover your Cursor over the transaction (Payment to yourself).

13. on your PC (in the control wallet) under Settings -> Options
Go to the Wallet tab and tick "Show Masternodes Tab". Confirm with OK
And exit the wallet. After restarting and waiting until the wallet has
Synchronized you can go to the Masternodes tab and in the my
Masternodes sub-tab click on your masternode (right click on the mouse)
and then start alias.
NOTE: Don't click start repeatedly as it will restart your masternode and
Thus every time will require some time until it is available again.
14. Then go back to PUTTY and execute the script:
./vps-setup.sh
15. Wait until the script completes.
