Awesome thanks, just got done reading TAO's Masternode guide in search of a site like this.
I just bought my first 260 Dash!
Look forward to being able to get the 1000 DASH I need to set one of these up...I like the fact that you can keep a Masternode hosted with your PC wallet offline.
Cheers,

Welcome! Thats a good start you're already 1 quarter there

Something to bear in mind with earnings is that the 50% masternode payements will drop to 45% with the forthcoming hard fork as 10% of total will be diverted to development costs.
And secondly, when the mining difficulty drops below ~2000 the block reward lifts off the 'worst scenerio' floor of 4.2 Dash and there can be tasty node payments(even 8-10 dash blocks so making 4-5 dash each time)
Thirdly, the more nodes there are, the longer you must wait for a payment, at ~3000, this is around 5.2 days.
