Hi Guys,
I've been following along with the Dash development as a Masternode operator for almost a year now. I'm still not much of a computer guy, and hope somebody out there would help me with the update to v0.13.
I'm using the instructions at: https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/masternodes/maintenance.html#masternode-update, but I'm afraid to screw it up, so I'm asking the community to look over my understanding of the procedure before I attempt to actually do the upgrade. Thanks in advance for your knowledge and assistance.
So far, for the manual update I have...
0) sign into Username through PuTTY.
0) I don't see a "* * * * * pidof dashd || ~/.dashcore/dashd" for crontab-e to automatically restart dashd, so I skipped this step.
1) cd .dashcore
2) ./dash-cli stop
3) cd /tmp/ <--- question: where's the directory tmp? how come I can't find it in .dashcore using the ls -la command?
4) in directory of /tmp$, enter command "wget https://github.com/dashpay/dash/rel...1.0/dashcore-0.13.1.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz"
5) Verify the integrity of download by using command: sha256sum dashcore-0.13.1.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
Once I get the output value, how would I compare with the SHA256SUMS.asc file? I'm still a little unclear about how the checksum works...
6) Extract the compressed archive and copy the new files to the (.dashcore) directory, using 3 consecutive commands:
tar xfv dashcore-0.13.1.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
cp -f dashcore-0.13.1/bin/dashd ~/.dashcore/
cp -f dashcore-0.13.1/bin/dash-cli ~/.dashcore/
7) Restart Dash in .dashcore, isn't "./dashd" the command? Why does the instructions say "~/.dashcore/dashd"? I might not be precisely understanding the syntax.
8) in the sentinel directory enter commands "git checkout master" and "git pull."
9) Then re-start masternode updated v0.13 Dash Core wallet.
Thanks in advance for your clarification and assistance.
