I can pay you in TOK for your help.
Just goto a MN pool. Easier.
Did you manage to set up
hey aziz, after configuring the node and attempting to start it, it says "Tokugawa server starting" but doesnt do anything after that. Also, when I check masternode status in the debug window it says "status" : 0," there as well. I think it may be a firewall issue?
do you still need help?
This looks like a promising project! I will research more!
Great guide Masternode Set Up!!!
I want to present one more coin with Masternodes - Virtus
