Sample Masternode.conf

The masternode.conf format consists of a space separated text file. Each line consisting of an alias (Your Masternodes name), IP address followed by port, masternode genkey, collateral output transaction id and finally, collateral output index then with optional donation address and donation percentage (the latter two should be in format "address:percentage").

*Donation addresses are other addresses you can send the rewards to (rather than going straight to the Masternode collateral address, and percentages of each reward).

alias ipaddress:port masternode_private_key collateral_output collateral_output_index donationin_address:donation_percentage
