My road to the SmartCash master node, blog post 2

Hello fellow Steemit community,

So i finally did it, i got enough SmartCash for a smart node and set it up with no bigger problems. This post won’t be a guide on how to set up your SmartNode, there are many great guides out there already. Instead i will make a short overview on the steps i did.

This is the guide i used: https://smartcash.blockchainlibrary.org/2018/01/guide-to-creating-a-smartcash-smartnode-vps-in-10-minutes-with-vultr/ in case someone needs one.

Choosing the hosting service

For the hosting part of things i decided to use Vultur.

Currently there is a $25 bonus if you register throw this link: http://bloggingeclipse.com/go/vultr25
Or you use this links and support me: https://www.vultr.com/?ref=7439420
The choise is yours, regardless you can earn $3 by doing three simple twitter tasks.

I choose the server for $5 per month, with 25 GB of SSD space, 1CPU, 1024 MB Memory and 1000 GB Bandwidth. And from there on i just followed the awesome guide (link above).

SmartCash desktop wallet: syncing and importing of my wallet.dat file

Because i decided to keep my wallet on my PC from now on i had import my wallet file. This was easily done by making a copy of my old wallet and import it in the SmartCash folder on my PC.
The next step was to sync my desktop wallet, i made a guide on how to do that if you are interested ;)
