Thanks for the info! I just did pretty much the same , updated my chaincoin.conf now im sitting on atleast 1002 so one transaction came through.
'chaincoind masternode list | grep YOURIP'
is the command to see if you node is enabled, that at least.
I'm also looking for some debug commands 'chaincoind help' has been quite useful so far, if you find further info i'd be happy if you share :)
