Can somebody help me install and set up bitcoind for a fee on a hosting server?

you all are making this too complicated. ever hear of a snapshot?? just make one on your own vps and then sell or give the snapshot. If you still need this done message me i could do this anytime this weekend. it may say noob next to my name, but been around for a bit now... but its because im not a fan of these forums. people forget how to use their thinkers on here so i try to avoid.

A snapshot would still come with all of the inherent security risks.

@Op: Try to follow the guides. If you have any questions, by all means post them here (without sensitive info OFC), and if you really truly need help setting this up, you should hire a trusted member who has prior dev history on here.

Hiring any dev op/developer to work on Bitcoin projects is always going to be a partial risk (let's face it, for the most part, we need access to critical infrastructure), but that doesn't mean you shouldn't hire developers. Just properly vet them first (as you would any employee you hire).

I do offer programming/system op services, so if you require it, send me a PM. But, do try it yourself. You'll save yourself a lot of BTC in the long-run, plus it's an awesome skill to have.

ok i will agree there are risks. but if password changed and root privilege only accessible with password, they would be minimum. biggest threat would probably someone trying to hide kiddie porn... now thats PRETTY BAD but easily remedied. disgusting.. sorry.. but im running thru viruses and scripts i can think of, and nothing is really coming to mind without having root. now this is under the assumption that they can at least make a profile to work under and not logged in AS root.

now that all being said.. everyone is right.. it is best to do it yourself.. there are numerous youtube vids and walkthroughs. if getting to a part that is confusing or its not working im sure they people here wouldnt mind you contacting them on specifics questions.. i have a walkthrough i did for one of my projects building on a pi.. its pretty similar...i mean of course you wouldnt do the first part.. if you try it and get confused i can edit one for you to fit for vultr or digital ocean.
