Sort:  

I can not see server running after typing ./Tokugawad

Instead of ./Tokugawad you do Tokugawad

Can I get some help setting these MN up? I have 2 running on my personal computer but I can't seem to get through your guide.

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!!!
