Masternode setup

Requirements

1. A VPS
2. A control wallet (ModernWallet or bzedged/bzedge-cli) used just for setup and to hold MN collateral
   YOUR FUNDS ARE ALWAYS KEPT ON YOUR CONTROL WALLET! And that wallet is on your PC! You should not keep your funds on the VPS

VPS System Requirements

MN Collateral: 250,000 BZE
Min. System Req.: 1 CPU / 1 GB RAM / 2GB Swap / 20 GB HDD
Rec. System Req.:2 CPU / 1 GB RAM / 2GB Swap / 20 GB HDD
OS: Ubuntu 16/18 or Debian

Installation

Acquire a VPS on your favourite hosting provider.

We recommend:\

1. Vultr - using this link will give you 50$ to test Vultr
2. DigitalOcean - using this link will give you 100$ for 60 days to test DigitalOcean
3. Contabo - using this link you gain nothing nor do we. They are the cheapest around but their services are not as reliable as previous providers.
   But there are plenty of reliable cloud providers out there, pick one.

VPS Setup

Connect to your VPS using a ssh client like putty or the terminal and the root credentials provided by your service provider.
Use the following commands explained below:

#creates a new user. Make sure you use a strong password that you can remember!
sudo adduser [YOUR_USERNAME]

#adds user to sudoers. This will ensure that your user has the rights to install the software needed
sudo usermod -aG sudo [YOUR_USERNAME]

#login as the new created user. The setup script must be used as a non-root user
su [YOUR_USERNAME]

#navigate to your new user home folder
cd ~

#download setup script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bze-alphateam/BZE-Scripts/master/setup-masternode.sh
#make the script executable
sudo chmod +x setup-masternode.sh

#run the script
./setup-masternode.sh

Follow the instructions on the screen, the script has some questions for you. :)

At this moment the script will take about 10 minutes to do plenty of stuff like download BZE, install dependencies, setup firewall and so on.
If you're curious what it does have a look at this repo.

After the script finished it will provide you useful information on the screen. Make sure you copy them to a text editor for later usage. Among this info you will find your masternode.conf line and it should look something like this:

your_alias ${WANIP}:${PORT} ${masternodeprivkey} TxID Output_Index

${WANIP}, ${PORT} and ${masternodeprivkey} will be generated by the script. your_alias, TxID and Output_Index are the ones we will have to change. You'll find out more soon.

Control wallet

Using Tent Desktop Wallet you have an easy and beautiful way of interacting with your MN. Go ahead and install it if you haven't already.
After the control wallet is synced and ready to be used create a new BZE address and send exactly 250,000 BZE to it. The resulting transaction will be your MN TxID - copy it and keep it safe in a text editor. Wait for the transaction to reach 15 confirmations.
Access "Masternodes" section in ModernWallet and use the details provided by the script to start your MN.

MacOS

In case you encounter 'missing readelf' issue install "binutils"

brew install binutils

If the issue persists create a symlink for "readelf" (it may be named "x86_64-elf-readelf") in /usr/local/bin from the original file located in /usr/local/Cellar Example: (it may be different depending on MacOS version:

/usr/local/Cellar/x86_64-elf-binutils/2.36.1/bin/x86_64-elf-readelf /usr/local/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0-readelf
