QT Wallet MN setup

How to setup your Masternode using the QT wallet

Setup with a hosting provider

If you are using a provider, please refer to their specific setup instructions. This is typically the easiest method to get started with running master nodes.

Note: In this example, we will be using https://node.trittium.cc/ as the hosting provider.

Warning: To avoid issues you must be using the same wallet version as the host provider. In this example, we are using XDN version 1.0.2.6

The first thing you'll need to do is create and fund an address with EXACTLY 2,000,000 XDN. On the receive tab in QT wallet click "New Address"

Enter a label. In this example "MN1" is used.

New address "MN1" successfully added

Send exactly 2,000,000 XDN to the new address "MN1" and wait for at least 15 confirmations then double click the transaction to get specifics.

copy the Transaction ID up to the "-"
