Lol
Have to admit,I got a little chuckle outta that exchange...
Anyway, jsyk, will attempt the masternode thing again after few weeks of staking.
Probably a vps issue and couldnt be bothered to set one up.
I am still confused as to why it should fail if you send a few extra HLM.
To get tx output you have to send exact amount in one transaction, otherwise you don't get the result. It's just a way all masternodes work, so you have to follow the guidelines.
