Ensure you have at least 100,001 Syscoin (SYS) in your wallet and that your wallet is fully synced to the blockchain

If your coins are located in an exchange, you're going to need a little bit (to pay for the network transaction fee) of SYS to send exactly 100,000 coins to your wallet.

Follow the steps below to do so:


Warning

NOTE: If you held SYS prior to the SYS 4.0 upgrade, be sure that you have followed the conversion before proceeding.

Follow the steps below to do so:

Create a new Receive address for masternode

  2. Click the Receive tab
  3. Type in a friendly name for the Label, such as "Masternode #1"
  4. Type 100000 for the Amount

Request Payment

  1. Click Request Payment. This will be the collateral address for your masternode

Send EXACTLY 100,000 Syscoin/SYS to the new address you created

  1. If your SYS is already in your wallet, send 100,000 SYS to the newly formed collateral address from the Send tab
  2. Click Send to send to submit the send transaction
  3. Click Yes to accept the fee.

Get the Masternode transaction ID from the debug window

  1. Go to Tools > Debug console
  2. Type in "Masternode Outputs" and press enter
  3. Copy the tx hash (which is the string in the first set of quotes)

Once you get through Step 1-3 in "Creating a Masternode" on the Node Forge Platform. On Step 4, perform the following:
