Masternode Update Guide For V0.12.2.4a
You must edit your MN lines within the masternode.conf file. The Masternode private keys and transaction hashes from the a 2500 ABS transaction must be added for each Masternode.
Before creating you MN, be sure to have the latest version of all the binaries.
Sentinel V1.2 will be mandatory since the spork was activated on the 25th of July 2018. Any Masternode that does not show as “Enabled” will not be rewarded.
On you VPS, you don't need to stop/start or anything with sentinel if you are already at version V1.2.
If in any doubt, go to your sentinel folder
Execute command: git pull. This command will get changed files only from the git hub repository. That's it, sentinel update is done. Here is an example:
From your shell (or putty).
Go to your home folder or install folder
cd $HOME hit ENTER
