OK I updated the links on the OP. I still have work to do such as update the version #'s in the source.

Anyway reason for this post.

I need someone to update the article that Goosewobbler wrote below , so that we can run our own VPS server with multiple masternodes. GooseWobbler wrote this, but then others added some additional information in other posts. I need it written for someone that knows NOTHING about linux. I have installed Ubuntu (non server 16.04), and I am ready to test when its complete. Once confirmed, it pays 300 VGS.

Thanks for the transaction Vegas Guy. I still think the project has a lot of potential; if we can work through the technical hitches, get some stable development done and work on the USP of the coin then more people will be attracted to it and we can build a decent-sized community.

However I'm still confused about what exactly you want regarding this node guide/script. Who is running this server? Whose machine are we using? For what purpose are "we" hosting nodes? Is it a node pool? For n00bs who don't know how to use Linux to give their coins up to us in return for a managed service? We need more infrastructure for that. Or are you simply wanting to test that our node guide works for someone who supposedly knows nothing but still managed to install Ubuntu? I don't understand.

I can make a brain-dead guide if you like, every click laid out from first screen of ubuntu to a running node. However, aside from the fact that the guide will be huge and most people won't need it - there are other issues:

Running a node on a VPS is the easiest option, you increase security and avoid a lot of complication by having a separate wallet for your node on a remote, always on, managed server.
If you really want a brainless MN setup, you're looking in the wrong place. N00bs won't even consider installing Ubuntu - that is too complex and risky. Maybe you want VGS on the Gin platform. https://p.gincoin.io/#!/

Personally I think we should be concentrating on the fundamentals of this coin, the differentiating points - before messing around with nodes, and yes, ROI. Look at Campus Coin, they haven't even got Masternodes yet and they're building a significant community and a lot of buzz because they have a unique, well thought out idea and plan of execution for bringing that coin to real-world usage not *some time in the future* but NOW. They're prioritising mobile app development, considering usecases, getting their coin in the hands of their users above everything else, and that's what we should be doing.
