<p dir="auto">Hi all This is a guide on how to setup a Neutron Masternode. <p dir="auto">Neutron is a cryptocurrency beeing actively developed. <p dir="auto">Links : <p dir="auto"><span><a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1323468.new#new" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1323468.new#new <p dir="auto"><span><a href="https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=NTRN_BTC" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=NTRN_BTC <p dir="auto"><span>Guide made by oicu8 : <a href="https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Forum/Thread/568?postId=3681" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Forum/Thread/568?postId=3681 <p dir="auto">Welcome to the wonder world of Neutron aka NTRN. <p dir="auto">Today we are going to go through a bit about the coin. <p dir="auto">Just like any Alt-Coin, NTRN has had its up and downs in the Crypto World. Now, It's under New management, New Structuring and Very watchful eyes. <p dir="auto">NTRN is rising up from the ashes and slowing rebuilding its Network Structure. This is a POS coin not a POW. It has a Great potential for a long-term investment and its fun to Stake! Who doesn't like to get coins when you don't have to Physically do anything once its Stakeing? We are gonna go over a few basics to getting you on the NTRN Train to success! Please be aware this isn't a quick buck or a fast dollar. <p dir="auto">This is a POS currency and not something you can Mine Directly. Being a POS coin, there is a limited supply of 17,913,061 NTRN coins. For every Transaction through your node, (like Stakings, Minting), you will be rewarded with 20 NTRNs. If you are interested in helping make this decentralized coin Stronger, More Stable and Earn NTRN by doing so, Please follow this Guide.<br /> Once again Thanks for stopping by and have fun! <p dir="auto">You will need a few things before we can start: <ol> <li>Neutron Wallet <li>25,001 NTRN (I will explain why the extra 1 NTRN below) <li>A little bit of patience <li>Willing to learn <p dir="auto">Depending on the OS you have, will decide how you run your Masternode.<br /> In this example, I'll be using the GUI on Windows to run it.<br /> (I like Physically seeing the platform instead of the Console) <p dir="auto"><span>Download your wallet from <a href="http://www.neutroncoin.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">http://www.neutroncoin.com/ for your OS. <p dir="auto">This method will work both on all OS's for the GUI wallet. <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmNT4RG3WA6TGxcRhqLs4AjzZfLXa5y2uJ8zYxa26wScJn/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202017-07-10%20a%CC%80%2013.10.54.png" alt="Capture d’écran 2017-07-10 à 13.10.54.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmNT4RG3WA6TGxcRhqLs4AjzZfLXa5y2uJ8zYxa26wScJn/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202017-07-10%20a%CC%80%2013.10.54.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmNT4RG3WA6TGxcRhqLs4AjzZfLXa5y2uJ8zYxa26wScJn/Capture%20d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran%202017-07-10%20a%CC%80%2013.10.54.png 2x" /> <p dir="auto">Once you have downloaded the wallet, open up a Notepad or Editor. <p dir="auto">Open up the wallet and let it load for the first time. <p dir="auto">Close it out once u see the Wallet overview. <p dir="auto">First, We will be doing a few things to update the Blockchain for the wallet by adding more updated nodes. <p dir="auto">Second, we need to find <code>neutron.conf and open it in the editor.<br /> For windows based devices, goto the following directory: <pre><code>(localdisk) C:\Users\*loginname*\AppData\Roaming\Neutron <p dir="auto">Or you can: <p dir="auto">Click Start, type in <code>%appdata% in run or search and open it. <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmQghUBUGzrvQZxPXzzXz1DddQEAvKGF6x9Kahx3XuTvJN/image%20(1).jpg" alt="image (1).jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmQghUBUGzrvQZxPXzzXz1DddQEAvKGF6x9Kahx3XuTvJN/image%20(1).jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmQghUBUGzrvQZxPXzzXz1DddQEAvKGF6x9Kahx3XuTvJN/image%20(1).jpg 2x" /> <p dir="auto">Still trouble?
