Vegas guy, thanks for explaining your thinking here.

OK in short , MANY people know NOTHING about linux. So I thought either:

1. An easy script someone could just launch, and it would create a VPS on their linux system for Las Vegas coin.

The issue I have with this is, "MANY people know NOTHING about linux" contradicts "create a VPS on their linux system". If you know nothing about linux, why are you attempting to run it? I don't know anyone actively running linux who knows nothing about it. Ubuntu is designed to be easy to use but ultimately the people who know absolutely nothing are going to be put off by the following words: "script", "launch", "VPS", "linux".

It just seems to me that we are trying to cater for the a very small group of people who are (a) intrigued enough by masternodes to want to set up their own VPS as opposed to using a pool but (b) know nothing about linux. These people would be better served by a web-based system like https://gincoin.io - no linux involved so everyone who knows nothing about linux, including those who are interested enough to want to try it out, are catered for.

I have a data center in Las Vegas with many powerful servers. Most of them have intel extreme 2011 CPU with 12-15 cores, the one I will start with that is built and ready has an intel extreme 4960X and 64GB ram, and a 1GPS upload and download speed with raid 10.

My idea would be to hire someone with a LOT of knowledge to create a paid system where people would rent as many VPS as they want. The only payment accepted would be Las Vegas coin. I would then split ALL the profits with the dev 50/50. I would supply the hardware, they would supply the dev time and coding. In simplicity they would create a login account, and choose how many Ip addresses they want and for how long. Then the system would calculate how much VGS to send, and give the user the IP addresses. Keep in mind, this would be useful for ALL coins. The purpose is to get the word out about Las Vegas coin, AND people would be forced to buy Las Vegas coin from the exchange. Any devs interested? I would ask Glen, but I "left the bloody door open".

So this seems similar to what the GIN guys are trying to do. I don't own their coin and haven't tried out their system yet, but will give it a go and report back when they support a coin I own.
