--------------------------

On your personal wallet...

Generate Masternode Key...

    wire-cli masternode genkey

Generate new receiving address...

    wire-cli getnewaddress

Send 35000 WIRE transaction to yourself (somehow). This can be through your own wallet or by someone else as long as the transaction is exactly 35000 WIRE!

    wire-cli sendtoaddress CQSQPXSDXsT4qnng7EhPjqskG2Q1igC88X 35000

Grab transaction output

    wire-cli masternode outputs

Add masternode info to masternode.conf Have IP address of server.

    nano ~/.wire/masternode.conf
    
File should look like this format

    Alias IP:Port genkey Transaction Vout
    
And with values filled out

    mn1 45.33.72.53:6520 88YAEwWdS8Snqhr7UqzeE7TkzqQCfTX8APK2dvtLFuek6cswV3k e391e850328e890520cbb6b54e5cf84a3933f6e4834cd0b62a8ced9e8eeb5d4a 0

Restart the wallet

    wire-cli stop
    wired -daemon

--------------------------

Log in to the VPS As Root!

Create user

    adduser masternode

Add to sudo group...

    visudo

File should have this line under root.

    masternode ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Log in as that user

Update system and install Bitcoin PPA and other packages

    sudo apt-get -y update
    sudo apt-get -y install software-properties-common
    sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
    sudo apt-get -y update
    sudo apt-get -y install git libevent-dev libboost-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev libminiupnpc-dev ufw virtualenv python-pip dh-autoreconf pkg-config build-essential libssl-dev
    sudo apt-get -y upgrade

If it asks, keep any local version of the files installed    

Reboot

    sudo reboot
    
Log back into server

Configure swap (just in case)

    sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile
    sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
    sudo mkswap /swapfile
    sudo swapon /swapfile
    echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

Configure Firewall

    sudo ufw default deny incoming
    sudo ufw default allow outgoing
    sudo ufw allow ssh
    sudo ufw allow 6520/tcp
    sudo ufw enable
    
Get source and compile

    cd ~
    mkdir masternode
    cd masternode
    git clone https://github.com/Social-Wallet-Inc/wire-core.git
    cd wire-core
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure
    make

Move to /usr/bin

    cd src
    sudo mv ./wire-cli /usr/bin/
    sudo mv ./wired /usr/bin/
    sudo mv ./wire-tx /usr/bin/
    
Test it

    wired -daemon

At this point, the daemon will complain that a configuration file for setting the RPC user and password hasn’t been done and offer a suggestion for one. You can use these settings or make your own.

Edit the config file using an editor of your choice (vi/nano/etc). If you use vi, hit insert to be able to type and paste text into the file. Hit escape to be taken to the prompt for vi. At the prompt, type :qt which tells vi to save and quit. If you are using nano, control+x will prompt you to save the file, just type y. Then, hit enter to accept the same file name.

    nano ~/.wire/wire.conf

The file will need to look like this. Replace the parts in brackets with the correct things.

    rpcuser=[randomstring]
    rpcpassword=[randomstring2]
    rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
    listen=1
    server=1
    daemon=1
    logtimestamps=1
    maxconnections=256
    externalip=[IP]
    masternodeprivkey=[MASTERNODEGENKEY]
    masternode=1
    
From this guide, the file will look something like this...

    rpcuser=3456345yhrerhtw45y6
    rpcpassword=thjfdghnrgth34734y4ty
    rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
    listen=1
    server=1
    daemon=1
    logtimestamps=1
    maxconnections=256
    externalip=45.33.72.53
    masternodeprivkey=88YAEwWdS8Snqhr7UqzeE7TkzqQCfTX8APK2dvtLFuek6cswV3k
    masternode=1

Run the daemon again

    wired -daemon

The daemon should have started successfully. Test the wallet by asking for information about the blockchain.

    wire-cli getinfo

Make WIRE run on reboots

    crontab -e
    
    @reboot wired -daemon

Before moving back to the personal wallet side, make sure that the blockchain is all synchronized and that the masternode list is also sync’d...

    wire-cli mnsync status

This should report something like this. Notice the true on the first line and the 999 on the second to last line, those are important.

    {
        "IsBlockchainSynced" : true,
        "lastMasternodeList" : 1524411294,
        "lastMasternodeWinner" : 1524411412,
        "lastBudgetItem" : 0,
        "lastFailure" : 0,
        "nCountFailures" : 0,
        "sumMasternodeList" : 0,
        "sumMasternodeWinner" : 111,
        "sumBudgetItemProp" : 0,
        "sumBudgetItemFin" : 0,
        "countMasternodeList" : 0,
        "countMasternodeWinner" : 5,
        "countBudgetItemProp" : 5,
        "countBudgetItemFin" : 5,
        "RequestedMasternodeAssets" : 999,
        "RequestedMasternodeAttempt" : 0
    }

    
--------------------------

On your personal wallet...

Start the masternode on the personal wallet side.

    wire-cli startmasternode alias 0 ALIAS
    
From this guide, it would be...

    wire-cli startmasternode alias 0 mn1
