how to start mn from cold wallet

[semajjames]

Hi

So how do I start MN from cold wallet dashcore-0.14.0.3 ?

I am used to seeing "start aliss" in the masternode tab but its gone ,,,,

A lot has changed since then. Looks like you hibernated for last half of the year

Scroll down to "Register your masternode"

Thanks SpIawik21
I have successively Registered my MN already months ago
but it stopped on vps and picked up a ban I have now restarted on vps but dont know how to start with cold wallet

OK I am now registering again from scratch but when I enter the "protx register_submit" command it returns "bad-protx-dup-key (code 18) (code -1)" why would this be happening ?

Because you want to re-register the MN which keys has been already used.
If you are in pose_ban status you need to update service just be sure to use newest version of dash on server.

Core wallet is not a cold wallet because the private key gets on the machine which is in the network. You can use Electrum on a machine that is not online to send a transaction and sign a message
