e) Note VPS_IP:PORT and Masternode Privatekey in Notepad(text file)

f) Get QYNO masternode address. This is address where you should send exactly 5000 QNO.
qyno-cli getaccountaddress masternode

g) Send 5000 coins to the generated address and wait 15 confirmations (15 mins approximately).

h) Get masternode collateral_output_txid and collateral_output_index and save it to notepad without quotes and brakets:
qyno-cli masternode outputs

i) Edit masternode.conf file: nano /root/.qyno/masternode.conf

j) To the bottom of text you should paste your data(divided by spaces):
Masternodename - any you want
IP:port - Your VPS ip address and port 39741(port is fixed for all). You got it from step #2-e
masternodeprivkey - You got it from step #2-e
collateral_output_txid - first part of masternode outputs. You got it from step #2-h
collateral_output_index - second part of masternode outputs (usually 1 or 0). You got it from step #2-h

k) Save changes in mastenode.conf file and exit by pressing CTRL+O -> ENTER -> CTRL+X

l) Stop and start qyno server by:
systemctl restart qynod.service

m) Make sure your wallet is syncing with the QYNO network:
qyno-cli mnsync status

3. Start masternode

a) Type in PUTTY:
qyno-cli masternode start-all

b) To check masternode status:
qyno-cli masternode list-conf

* Your status will become "PRE_ENABLED" and after 30-60min it will be changed to "ENABLED"
* Restart your wallet(systemctl restart qynod.service), make sure your wallet is syncing with the Qyno network(qyno-cli mnsync status) and masternode(qyno-cli masternode start-all) if your status became "NEW_START_REQUIRED" after running a few days.
* Don't worry if status is "WATCHDOG_EXPIRED". It will go back to "ENABLED" in 30-60 minutes.
