Neoxa - Getting Started
Getting your Neoxa node up and running is a straight-forward process. The first thing to do is to complete your purchase on the Node Orbit site. This will reserve an IP address, which can be seen in the dashboard. This will be required in a later step.
Download the latest Neoxa QT wallet
Open the wallet and allow it to complete the syncing process
Next, secure your wallet by encrypting it through the "Settings" menu and selecting "Encrypt Wallet."
Generate a new receiving address within the wallet.
It is crucial to create a backup of your wallet.dat file. To do this, navigate to "File" and choose "Backup Wallet." Make sure to store this backup in multiple secure locations.
Send 1 million Neoxa to self (this is the current collateral amount for Neoxa masternodes).
Wait for 1 confirmation to complete the transaction.
Below is an example of what the protx quick_setup command should look like. You can copy the example below into a Notepad and edit it with your values.
Transaction ID: In your wallet, go to "Transactions," right-click the one you sent yourself earlier, and "Copy Transaction ID." Replace the Transaction ID in the example.
Collateral index: Go to "Tools" > "Debug console." Type "smartnode outputs" to check if it's 1 or 0. Adjust the example command if needed.
Your smartnode server IP and port: Replace the example IP with the IP supplied from the Node Orbit dashboard.
Fee address: This should be any address in your wallet that contains enough Neox to pay the fee (cannot be the address to which you sent the 1 million Neox). When you enter the "protx quick_setup" command, it is considered a transaction and requires a small fee. 0.005 Neox is enough. In the Debug console, use "listaddressbalances" to display all addresses with a balance, choose one, and replace the address in the example command.
Execute the "protx quick_setup" command within the Debug console. Copy the OperatorSecret text that appears.
From the Node Orbit dashboard, find your node, click Update Node and paste in this value which will finish the node provisioning process.
If the node has a status of "Ready", then you have put in the proper key and your node will be on the blockchain shortly.
PLEASE NOTE:
It will take around 52 hours before you get your first reward. If the status is READY then you're good and there's nothing to do except wait.
A new address will be created for you automatically in the same wallet that holds the collateral. You can only see this address once you get your reward. If the status is READY, then you will see the reward in your wallet.
