How to setup Masternode from Beginners
This guide is for a single masternode, on a Ubuntu 16.04 64bit server (VPS) running headless and will be controlled from the wallet on your local computer (Control wallet). The wallet on the the VPS will be referred to as the Remote wallet. You will need your server details for progressing through this guide.

How to setup Masternode from Beginners

First the basic requirements:
10,000 GEEK (Get GeekCash)A main computer (Your everyday computer) — This will run the control wallet, hold your collateral 10,000 GEEK and can be turned on and off without affecting the masternode.Masternode Server (VPS — The computer that will be on 24/7)A unique IP address for your VPS / Remote wallet
(For security reasons, you’re are going to need a different IP for each masternode you plan to host)

The basic reasoning for these requirements is that, you get to keep your GEEK in your local wallet and host your masternode remotely, securely.
