Hi, Thanks for responding. I re-created the VPS using Ubuntu 18 but i am still getting that same message on the vps console. Just to be clear, it is ok for me to use a desktop wallet (on my mac) to hold the masternode quapcoins ? I want to make sure i didnt need to actually install the wallet on the vps itself as a gui, i was only using the console commands since i could load the wallet in gui during my previous trial attempts.
Also, I did notice that the private key that i see when i add the node to the desktop wallet (Masternode -> Info -> Export) is not the same as the one generated from my vps node. is it possible to force the wallet to use my vps private key or should i rebuild the vps again without having the installtion create its own private key? If i still dont get it to work this way, i will try using the pecunia or iHostMN option 😞 .
Thanks for you suggestions, i am also in the telegram group already (little difficult to navigate there) .
