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!

Hey @Cody Gordon,
Kindly refer the below step and setup your XDC testnet masternode using Docker, still if you are facing any issues let us know.
Prerequisite:
Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit or higher
Should be facing internet directly with public IP & without NAT
Tools: Docker, Docker Compose(1.27.4+)
Setup (For Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit or higher Operating System)
Clone the XinFin Node repository:
git clone https://github.com/XinFinOrg/XinFin-Node.git
Enter XinFin-Node directory:
cd XinFin-Node
Step 1: Install docker & docker-compose:
sudo ./setup/install_docker.sh
Step 2: Update .env file with details: Create .env file by using the sample - .env.example
Enter either your company or product name in the INSTANCE_NAME field.
Enter your email address in CONTACT_DETAILS field.
cd mainnet *OR* testnet
cp env.example .env
nano .env
Step 3: Start your Node
For Mainnet
Run:
cd mainnet
sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up –d
You would able to see your node listed on the XinFin Network page. Select Menu "Switch to TestNet" for TestNetwork and Select "Switch to LiveNet" to check LiveNetwork Stats.
Your coinbase address can be found in xdcchain/coinbase.txt file.
To stop the node or if you encounter any issues use:
sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml down
Attach XDC Console:
cd mainnet
sudo bash xdc-attach.sh
For Testnet
Run:
cd testnet
sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
You would able to see your node listed on the apothem.network/#stats page. Select "Switch to LiveNet" to check LiveNetwork Stats and Select "Switch to TestNet" for TestNetwork.
Your coinbase address can be found in xdcchain/coinbase.txt file.
To stop the node or if you encounter any issues use:
cd testnet
sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml down
I will give this a shot. So there's no way to use the one-click installer and use Windows?
Hey @Cody Gordon
