Installation use case testimonial

Hi,
I’ve managed to run a delegated harvesting on a VPS from my NES local wallet.
I’d like to report my experience in setting up the NIS / NCC by my personal timeline.

Saturday afternoon,
I bought XEM from poloniex (sold BTC :wink:)
and installed the NEM on my notebook (I already had Java 8),
on saturday afternoon.

I got activated the VPS from Hetzner, it’s a CX10 Debian Lamp, this morning,
I installed NIS on it this morning too, following Paul guide


leaving out the supernode enrolment and starter service.
Then I started NIS.
Meanwhile NIS in VPS was syncronizing,
I transfered XEM from poloniex to my local account.
Then this afternoon I changed settings of NCC to the VPS address
and started delegated harvesting.
That seems working! So nice!

Well my vested balance is still 0.

It takes some time until a portion of your balance becomes vested: https://www.nem.io/faq.html#vestingXem

Hi Paul,
thank you for your precise guide.
I followed it to install on Debian VPS.
I have a question, in paragraph 1.3, when editing file
config-user.properties
a “delegated private key” is needed.
I have not created this file, because I do not know any of it.
Do you know how to obtain a delegated private key?
Another question, my node doesn’t appear at this url
http://chain.nem.ninja/#/nodes/
is it right?

Thanks
Fab

Oh, now I got it, in the NIS running on the VPS there have to
be the Delegated private key of my NCC wallet. Ok,
I restarted with the config-user.properties setup and
starter service, seems fine.
I started also the servant, and I’ll ask to enroll,
I think it’s no harm tough…isn’t it?
