How to set up a ZenCash SecureNode

By popular demand, this video walks you through how to set up a ZenCash Secure Node. It's a bit involved, and there are a lot of moving parts. But I think it's well worth it.
Note:

Zen is a top 150 coin with a 50% annual ROI. It's not as bling as the 1200% ROI masternodes, but chances are it won't be zero one day as most of the new me too masternode coins are. And unlike the higher quality masternode coins like Dash, Zcoin, and PIVX, it doesn't cost fifty thousand dollars. You can buy one for less than $2000.

Hello Patrick you are a value to the Crypto Community thanks for your service.

Great Video. Thanks! Should I have to rent a new VPS to run one node or its possible to have several ZEN nodes on one VPS?

very nice and clear video, thank you Patrick

No principio até parece meio confuso, mas prestando bem atenção, você percebe que o assunto é bom e leve. Valei

Thanks for the video, setup secure node and and running without any problems. I do have a question though, I noticed that I am currently only getting 8 peer connections but see that many nodes have more than that, is there any setting to increase the peer connections? thanks.

Is there a video describing the beginning parts that were not discussed. The parts that Patrick said we should already know. Thanks

Thanks for the info. For supernodes, is the process essentially the same? I don't see a viable VPS option from OVH that meet the minimum criteria. Also, was wondering if anyone has any information on these hosting sites that charge ~$30 and do all the work for you. Seems too good to be true?

Great Video by the way. Question I am using the address from Bittrex for my 42 Zen. When I send the .1zen to my secure node Z_address Bittrex says it is invalid address . Can I only use the zencash swing wallet to put my 42 zen in? My wallet crashed and I have to start downloading all over again. Is there a bootstrap that I can download somewhere?

What happened to your most recent video on multiple securenodes on 1 VPS? I was hoping to watch it again and take notes :)

Hi Patrick, for example i have 420 zencash! 1 secure node is for 420 coins or i need to create 10 secure node with 42coins each node? And what about the domain? do i need to create 10 domain names or 1 is enough for 10 secure nodes? thanks in advanced

Hey Patrick
Thanks for the detailed tutorial. But I have still one problem. Would you mind to help me? The monitoring doesn't start after the reboot. I renamed pm2 to pm2~ like you and installed it again. Does still not startup after the reboot

Hi!
How much ZEN do you need to run a node and whats the Roi? Thanks

I thought all of these crypto blockchains are suppose to be decentralized? This whole tutorial suggest you're establishing this node on a centralized network, and I might add, a way for those centralized networks to monetize your node access on their hardware.

For some one who doesn't know anything. This is the person watching this video will be completely lost because you skipped to much info rendering this video useless. A complete waste of your time and anyone that watches it!
