couple questions...

Can anyone with 50k coins run a masternode?

Is it better to run a masternode with 50k coins or stake in the shared masternode with 50k coins?

Any shared experiences much appreciated

Yes 50k coins is the requirement for running a masternode. Once you have the coins, you can rent a VPS ($5 per month or even cheaper) and input a simple command line given in the masternode installation guide by the devs.

Its better to have your own masternode than putting those coins in the shared MN program because there is 2% fee admin fee and you are better off running your own MN for $5.
All you need to do is pay the $5 VPS rent per month and the MN will be running constantly and in no relation to whether your Computer is on/off.

Yes, but with the SMAP you have to do nothing. really nothing. and for that, 2% fee isn't really high

thanks - I'll try the shared mn and see how it goes initially. been mining for awhile so planning on setting up a dedicated mn in a month or so if everything goes well.
