I set up a masternode on one of the amazon cloud servers.  The amazon service was free so I decided to give it a go.  Everything went great and I was earning then one of the exchanges the coin was listed at was hacked and all the coins were stolen which was a complete cluster fuck.  I got most of the coins from a bounty so I didn't lose anything monetarily but I doubt I would go to the trouble again unless it was for a top 100 coin like Dash.
