Guide to help you setup your masternode with Aspectcoin on a VPS.

Things Needed:

• A decent size VPS hosting (https://goo.gl/vQ8q88)
• 3000 aspectcoins purchased or mined
• Winscp can download here (https://winscp.net/eng/download.php)
• Putty can download here( http://www.putty.org/)

Once you have created and launched your VPS for masternode, login as root and create a new user:
Step 1
Run these commands:

adduser newUsername

usermod -aG sudo newUsername

Change the user to new user created
su - username

Step 2:
Run these commands to make a swapfile (for small VPS) :

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=1000
sudo mkswap /var/swap.img
sudo swapon /var/swap.img

Run again to confirm you now have a swapfile.
Note:
If you choose OpenVZ virtualization most of VPS service providers doesn’t allow you to create swap.
If you chose a server , with less RAM, you’ll need a LARGER swapfile, i.e. set the count parameter to something larger like 2048, 4096 etc. If the compilation steps fails in middle this is usually the reason.

To make the swap file persist when the server is rebooted:

sudo chmod 0600 /var/swap.img
sudo chown root:root /var/swap.img
sudo nano /etc/fstab

Append the following line to the end of the file:

/var/swap.img none swap sw 0 0

Save the file and exit
Step 3: Firewall ( can do this step at anytime )
Most of the VPS provides block ports and some may not install the firewall

sudo ufw allow OpenSSH
sudo ufw allow 46550
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw enable

Step 4 : Compiling the wallet

sudo apt-get install git

git clone https://github.com/Aspectcoin/Aspectcoin.git

Step 5: You need to install dependencies

sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y install build-essential libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libcrypto++-dev libqrencode-dev libminiupnpc-dev libgmp-dev libgmp3-dev autoconf autogen automake libtool 

Step 6

• You need to enter your Aspectcoin folder, use WinSCP to find the path. For exemple if the path is /home/Aspectcoin , you need to use this command :

cd /home/Aspectcoin
cd src
sudo make -f makefile.unix

If there is a file named "aspectd", then your wallet is ready.

Note:
Users with Less memory will face the compiling terminated.

We have a solution for that ,you can download the compiled wallet file directly for the Ubuntu 16.04(64bit) OS here : https://goo.gl/7uUihe

Step 7 copy the created or downloaded wallet file aspectd to usr/local/bin suing winscp

Then later use this command sudo chmod +x aspectd

Step 8 Run Wallet to generate conf. error will be presented here.

aspectd -daemon

Now you need to configure your wallet, first we need to close the wallet and edit the conf file :

aspectd stop

cd .aspectcoin

Now enter command :

sudo nano aspect.conf

rpcpassword=EvenLongerRandomString
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
staking=0

Save the file. As of now

Now we restart the wallet and we wait it the get fully synced

Step 9 When your wallet is synced, you need to setup the masternode
Now run :
aspectd masternode genkey

Step 10 Lets create a new receiving address
Now run :

aspectd getaccountaddress alias

This address will receive your coins. Save also this one in the txt file.
Open your Windows wallet if it isnt yet and send exactly 3000 aspect coins to this address. You'll have to pay a fee in addition.You now need to wait for 10 confirmations before we continue.
Step 11 Encrypt wallet

./aspectd encryptwallet YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD

Note:This password is very important to move funds and start wallet to stake

Step 12 Edit Conf

cd .aspectcoin
sudo nano aspect.conf

The conf file must look like that :

rpcuser=SomeRandomString
rpcpassword=EvenLongerRandomString
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
staking=0
logtimestamps=1
port=46550
masternode=1
masternodeaddr=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:46550
masternodeprivkey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Masternodeaddr is the ip and the port used by your VPS. The port must be open.
Masternodeprivekey is the string you got from the "masternodegenkey" command.
Step 13 You need to restart the wallet now

aspectd stop
aspectd -daemon

The wallet in now ready to run the masternode

aspectd getbalance

You should get 3000ASP
Finally
We can now start the masternode

aspectd masternode start YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD
