Sample Default ioncoin.conf with staking enabled

rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
daemon=1
server=1
debug=1
staking=1
bind=ip::12700

Sample ioncoin.conf with Testnet enabled

testnet=1 rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
listen=0
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
masternode=1
externalip=158.69.120.138
masternodeaddr=158.69.120.138:27170
masternodeprivkey=93ULydF2EviXyytqhuebWVQdBJRq6y17q9wr4YerqPw4ne9MQpX

Sample ioncoin.conf with enabled masternode:

rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
daemon=1
server=1
debug=1
staking=1
bind=ip::12700
masternode=1
masternodeaddr=:12700
masternodeprivkey=

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 key (created with createmasternodekey), 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
