FUD is lame.

How much for a ghostnode? Easy to set up?
If you can not host a node by yourself, I would suggest to let team zednode host / maintain it for you. They will guide you through the setup process.
They are quite expensive, but no experience needed to run a NIX masternode. The collateral is exactly 40.000 in one transaction to your NIX wallet.
You can run a masternode and let the coins stake at the same time in your wallet, just keep the wallet open for staking and online.
Actually a masternode pays out something like 2x 8.448 NIX / day. NIX is at $0,15 actually, looks like ground level to me and good time to accumulate.
