This tutorial will show you how to setup a Footy Cash masternode with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS VPS

Things Needed:

VPS From Vultr (5$ Vps perfect . You can add more than 1 masternode on there. (Not the same masternode tho) : https://goo.gl/mxcb24

5000 Tokens from Cryptopia : https://goo.gl/auqctL

Putty: http://www.putty.org/ ( Putty Windows users, Terminal for Mac )

Once you have created and launched your masternode VPS, login as root and create a new user using putty. The login details for your root will be emailed too you once you created the server with Vultr

( also remember to do your security updates and make use of RSA ssh keys. ( will do a video on all of this )

VPS Setup
Step 1: 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 free again to confirm you now have a swapfile. Note: If you chose a different server option from Vultr, 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 partway through 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 2: Firewall ( can do this step at anytime )

sudo ufw allow OpenSSH
sudo ufw allow 17018
sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp
sudo ufw limit ssh/tcp
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw enable

Step 3: Install all dependencies

apt-get update
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

Step4: Install Footy Cash from Github V.2.0.1.0

mkdir footycash
cd footycash
git clone https://github.com/FootyCash/FootyCashV2
cd FootyCashV2
cd src/
cd leveldb
sudo chmod 755 * -R
cd ..
sudo make -f makefile.unix clean && make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=1 -j 1
sudo mv footycashd /usr/local/bin

Step5:
we are now good to start the daemon:

footycashd --daemon

You will get a error here or the notice the daemon wont start. This is becasue the footycash.conf is empty and we need to populate it.

footycashd stop

nano .footcashv2/footycash.conf

Copy paste the following and make changes as per the comments:

rpcuser=footycash
rpcpassword=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
staking=0
#masternode=1
#masternodeaddr=XX.XX.XX.XX:17018
#masternodeprivkey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

addnode= 92.222.124.88
addnode=45.58.121.142
addnode=66.55.130.13
addnode=72.178.196.79
addnode=213.250.22.35
addnode=109.157.39.60
addnode=49.3.48.231
addnode=120.146.235.230
addnode=31.22.27.27
addnode=90.145.211.170
addnode=95.96.92.78
addnode=186.68.217.188
addnode=82.39.218.201
addnode=2.155.144.78

addnode=46.4.37.60
addnode=74.208.235.170
addnode=151.236.245.93
addnode=84.75.61.166
addnode=35.189.249.117
addnode=27.67.40.1
addnode=77.249.216.150
addnode=186.68.217.188
addnode=82.39.218.201
addnode=2.155.144.78
addnode=141.89.216.78
addnode=46.4.37.60
addnode=74.208.235.170
addnode=151.236.245.93
addnode=84.75.61.166
addnode=35.189.249.117
addnode=27.67.40.1
addnode=77.249.216.150
addnode=96.10.34.116
addnode=seedv2.footycash.com

Now press CTRL + X (Then save and leave the # like they are. We going to fill that shortly. )

Step 6:
Now we can generate a privkey

footycashd masternode genkey

copy and hold this for the conf

Then run

footycashd getaccountaddress 0
This is the address you need to send your 5000 coins too.

Now go ahead and edit the conf file again:

nano .footcashv2/footycash.conf

Now add your GenKey and IP for your server. Please remember to remove the #'s

Now press CTRL + X to save.

we are now good to start the daemon:
footycashd --daemon

Type footcashd getinfo to make sure the block chain is sync and coins showing in your balance.

Once it is all synced we can start the masternode:

footycashd masternode start

To Encrypt the wallet you can do the following: ( backup wallet.dat before )
footycashd encryptwallet YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD

Then to start the node:
footycashd masternode start YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD
