in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago  (edited)

Step 1:
Download and install PIEX wallet.
Download PIEX wallet from https://downloads.piex.io/wallets/PieX.rar
Recommended to encrypt and backup your wallet first.

Step 2:
Wait for wallet to complete synchronization.

Step 3:
Generate Masternode Private key.
Go to Tools -> Debug console and enter the command "masternode genkey" Keep the output in a safe document such as notepad. This is your private key for the Masternode.

Step 4:
Get account address from main wallet.
In Debug Console enter the command "getaccountaddress MyMasternode". You can use your own name instead of MyMasternode. Copy the output and save it to the notepad.

Step 5:
From your main wallet, send exactly 25,000 PIE to the address generated in Step 4. Wait for 15 Confirmations.

Step 6:
Get the proof of transaction in main wallet.
Type "masternode outputs" in Debug console and copy the output to the notepad. This is the proof of the transaction.

Step 7:
Update masternode.conf.
Go to Tools -> Open Masternode Config
It should look something like this
masternode1 100.100.100.100:53472 27BxAhVTQrCCVdqycRkkttVcaxZvvxCadukwHwv1s7neYFm6EAX 957e59cad55492af9d2c2468c699308139499820c7074c1ef46fa5e19614b0025 0
