# QT Wallet MN setup

## 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: In this example, we will be using <https://node.trittium.cc/> as the hosting provider.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
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
{% endhint %}

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"<br>

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.
