PEPEPOW Masternodes

Masternodes play a crucial role

A Masternode is a dedicated server on the PEPEPOW Crypocions network that performs advanced functions beyond the capabilities of regular nodes. These functions include instant transactions, decentralized governance, and the implementation of privacy features.

Masternodes play a crucial role in the PEPEPOW Crypocions ecosystem, providing essential services and functionalities that contribute to the network’s security, stability, and efficiency. By running a Masternode, participants have the opportunity to actively engage in the network and earn rewards for their contribution.

Benefits of Running a Masternode

Rewards

Masternode operators are rewarded with PEPEPOW Crypocions tokens for their service to the network. These rewards serve as an incentive for maintaining a robust and reliable Masternode.

Governance

Masternode operators have the opportunity to participate in the decentralized governance of the PEPEPOW Crypocions network. They can vote on important proposals and decisions, contributing to the evolution and development of the ecosystem.

Enhanced Security

Masternodes play a vital role in securing the network by validating and relaying transactions. Their presence helps prevent various attacks, ensuring the integrity and trustworthiness of the blockchain.

Privacy Features

Masternodes enable the implementation of advanced privacy features such as PrivateSend, which enhances transaction privacy and anonymity on the network.

- The receiving address must have zero balance before the transfer.
Enable the Masternode Tab
- Go to Settings > Options > Wallet.
- Enable the Masternode tab and restart the wallet.
Get Masternode Output & Private Key
- Go to Tools > Debug Console and run:
  masternode outputs
  masternode genkey
Edit PEPEPOW.conf
- Tools > Open Wallet Configuration File, add:
  masternode=1 masternodeprivkey=<Your_Private_Key> externalip=<Your_Static_IP>
Edit masternode.conf
- Tools > Open Masternode Configuration File, add one line:
  <Node_Name> <Static_IP>:8833 <Private_Key> <Transaction_Output>
Verify Your Masternode
- Go to the Masternode tab > My Masternodes to check your setup.
Start the Masternode
- Click Start All and confirm.
- Status should show ENABLED.
Check Status
- In Debug Console, type:
  masternode status
- Should show Successfully STARTED.
- Also check on the PEPEPOW Explorer.
Receive Rewards
- The first reward is credited about 24 hours after your Masternode is ENABLED.

Ubuntu/Linux Masternode Installation Steps

Connect to Your Server
ssh -i <Your_Private_Key>.key user@<Your_IP_Address>
Download & Extract the Wallet
- Linux (AARCH64):
  wget -c https://github.com/MattF42/PePe-core/releases/download/v2.7.1.7/PEPEPOW-v2.7.1.7-b19e6a1-release-aarch64-linux-gnu.tgz -O - | tar -xz
- Ubuntu/linux(x86_64):
  wget -c https://github.com/MattF42/PePe-core/releases/download/v2.7.1.7/PEPEPOW-v2.7.1.7-b19e6a1-release-x86_64-linux-gnu.tgz -O - | tar -xz
Start Wallet and Sync Blocks
./PEPEPOWd -daemon
Check Sync Progress
./PEPEPOW-cli getblockcount
Get Wallet Address & Balance
./PEPEPOW-cli getaccountaddress "" ./PEPEPOW-cli getbalance
Generate Masternode Output & Key
./PEPEPOW-cli masternode outputs ./PEPEPOW-cli masternode genkey
Edit Configuration Files
- If needed, install Nano:
  sudo apt update -y sudo apt install nano
- Go to wallet folder and edit files:
  cd .PEPEPOWcore nano PEPEPOW.conf nano masternode.conf
- Fill in your private key, IP, and output data.
Restart Wallet & Start Masternode
./PEPEPOW-cli stop ./PEPEPOWd -daemon ./PEPEPOW-cli masternode start-all
Check Masternode Status
./PEPEPOW-cli masternode status ./PEPEPOW-cli masternodelist info "<Your_IP>"
Backup Your Wallet
scp -i <Your_Private_Key>.key ubuntu@<Your_IP>:/home/ubuntu/.PEPEPOWcore/wallet.dat C:\Users\<Your_User>\Downloads\wallet.dat

Using a Third-Party Masternode Hosting Service

If you can’t run a 24/7 server, you may use a third-party Masternode provider:

Pecunia Platform
NodeHub
