Ok, so Im stepping through sanctuary (masternode) creation process, this time with Vultr as host
(I was originally using AWS, but the Vultr pricing is a bit cheaper $5/mo vs $8.30/mo for 1CPU 1GB RAM)
[This is also my first time testing the swap file solution to extend the 1GB RAM]

Before running last command "sudo make", set up the swap file:
https://digitizor.com/create-swap-file-ubuntu-linux/http://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=16.msg151#msg151free #check if swap is 0
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=1000
mkswap /var/swap.img
swapon /var/swap.img
free #check if swap is 1024

Comments:
- I failed to do the public/private key correctly I'm not sure what I did wrong, weird
- the swap file thing is interesting I've never done that before
