Must have at least 1,000,000 GSPC(collateral amount)

  • 2. Send funds to your wallet
    Send 1,000,000 GSPC to yourself in the address you created as Smartnode1 Wait for confirmations (at least 3)

  • 3. Get the transaction ID

  • 4. In the wallet open >tools> debug console and run:
    walletpassprase 600 listaddressbalances

  • 5. Build protx command for control wallet
    protx quick_setup “TX-ID” “1” “PUBLIC-IP-ADDRESS:27653” GSPC-ADDRESS-FEE” Example: protx quick_setup “38be2b14541b4018fd5532eda4ccb192798f23d0b91f93bcdf666b25154cac16” “1” “111.222.333.444:27653” JSsSMLwBmTfEaBAvoVG2WJu9q1m8YSpSEr 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: Tools > Debug console. Type smart node outputs to check if 1 or 0. Adjust the example command if needed; Your smart node server IP and port. Replace the example IP with your Smartnode server IP, leave the port as is; Fee address: This is any address in your wallet that contains enough GSPC to pay the fee (cannot be the address to which you sent the 2,500,000 GSPC). When you enter the protx quick_setup command it is a transaction and needs to be paid for. It is a very small amount of -0.00000479 GSPC. In Debug console do “listaddressbalances” to show all addresses with a balance, choose one, and replace the address in the example command.
