[Closed]I can't seem to get an account w/ the one click installer.

Hi, I'm planning on buying 10,000,000 XDC and I'd like to begin a master node and staking. I figured I'd learn how to do it on Apothem but I've been having significant issues. I'm trying to use the on-click installer but when I install it, there are no accounts. When I click the 'Add Account' button, a popup windows appears and just says 'GENERATING ACCOUNT'. I let this run for over 10 hours. I also have been trying to find avenues for support which included posting on Reddit, and trying to message the team on Telegram, only to find the username on Telegram doesn't exist. It would be great if I can get some guidance. Thanks!

I will give this a shot. So there's no way to use the one-click installer and use Windows?

Hey @Cody Gordon

You can refer below steps to setup Masternode with One-click installer:

Step 1: Download XinFin One-Click Installer (to setup Masternode) for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS and Install on your local machine. (xinfin.org/setup-masternode.php)
