Masternode

PEPEPOW Masternodes

Masternodes play a crucial role

Earning rewards from governance

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.

PEPEPOW Masternode Setup Guide

A clear and professional step-by-step guide for setting up a PEPEPOW Masternode on Windows or Ubuntu/Linux.

Overview

A PEPEPOW Masternode helps support the network and, when properly configured, can earn block rewards. You can run a Masternode on your own machine or use a third-party hosting service.

Requirements

  • 10,000,000 PEPEW collateral (new tiered levels may include 25M / 50M / 100M PEPEW)
  • The latest PEPEPOW wallet software
  • A computer or VPS/server that can remain online 24/7
  • A static IP address
  • Access to wallet configuration files

Wallet download: https://github.com/MattF42/PePe-core/releases

Windows Masternode Setup

1. Install and Sync the Wallet

  • Download and install the PEPEPOW QT Wallet.
  • Launch the wallet and allow it to fully sync.
  • Initial sync may take several hours.
  • If syncing is slow or stuck, check the PEPEPOW website or Discord for help.

2. Create a Receiving Address

  • Open File → Receiving Addresses.
  • Create a new address if you do not already have one.

This address will be used for your Masternode collateral.

3. Send the Collateral

Send exactly 10,000,000 PEPEW.

  • The amount must be sent in one single transaction.
  • The destination address should have zero balance before receiving the collateral.

4. Enable the Masternode Tab

  • Go to Settings → Options → Wallet.
  • Enable the Masternode tab.
  • Restart the wallet.

5. Generate the Masternode Output and Private Key

Open Tools → Debug Console and run:

masternode outputs
masternode genkey

Save both the transaction output and the masternode private key.

6. Edit PEPEPOW.conf

Open Tools → Open Wallet Configuration File and add:

masternode=1
masternodeprivkey=<Your_Private_Key>
externalip=<Your_Static_IP>

7. Edit masternode.conf

Open Tools → Open Masternode Configuration File and add one line:

<Node_Name> <Static_IP>:8833 <Private_Key> <Transaction_Output>

8. Verify Your Configuration

Open the Masternode tab and check My Masternodes to confirm your entry appears correctly.

9. Start the Masternode

  • Click Start All.
  • Confirm the action.

When successful, the status should show ENABLED.

10. Check the Status

In Debug Console, run:

masternode status

A successful setup should show Successfully STARTED.

You can also verify it on the explorer: https://explorer.pepepow.org/masternodes

11. Rewards

After the Masternode is fully enabled and recognized by the network, the first reward usually arrives around 24 hours later. Actual timing may vary depending on network conditions and queue position.

Ubuntu / Linux Masternode Setup

1. Connect to Your Server

ssh -i <Your_Private_Key>.key user@<Your_IP_Address>

2. Download the Wallet

AARCH64

wget -c https://github.com/MattF42/PePe-core/releases/download/v2.9.0.5/PEPEPOW-v2.9.0.5-5a9debc-release-aarch64-linux-gnu.tgz -O - | tar -xz

x86_64

wget -c https://github.com/MattF42/PePe-core/releases/download/v2.9.0.5/PEPEPOW-v2.9.0.5-5a9debc-release-x86_64-linux-gnu.tgz -O - | tar -xz

3. Start the Daemon

./PEPEPOWd -daemon

4. Check Sync Progress

./PEPEPOW-cli getblockcount

5. Check Address and Balance

./PEPEPOW-cli getaccountaddress ""
./PEPEPOW-cli getbalance

6. Generate the Masternode Output and Key

./PEPEPOW-cli masternode outputs
./PEPEPOW-cli masternode genkey

7. Edit the Configuration Files

If needed, install Nano first:

sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install nano

Then edit the wallet files:

cd ~/.PEPEPOWcore
nano PEPEPOW.conf
nano masternode.conf

8. Restart the Wallet and Start the Masternode

./PEPEPOW-cli stop
./PEPEPOWd -daemon
./PEPEPOW-cli masternode start-all

9. Check Masternode Status

./PEPEPOW-cli masternode status
./PEPEPOW-cli masternodelist info "<Your_IP>"

10. Backup Your Wallet

Always back up wallet.dat after setup.

scp -i <Your_Private_Key>.key ubuntu@<Your_IP>:/home/ubuntu/.PEPEPOWcore/wallet.dat C:\Users\<Your_User>\Downloads\wallet.dat

Third-Party Masternode Hosting

If you do not want to maintain your own 24/7 server, you may use a hosting provider instead.

Final Notes

A properly configured Masternode helps strengthen the PEPEPOW network while allowing operators to participate in rewards and ecosystem support.

Before starting, make sure:

  • Your collateral is sent correctly
  • Your node is fully synced
  • Your IP and private key are configured correctly
  • Your wallet is backed up safely
