On a more positive note, I would like to offer a 50 DRK bounty for a step by step guide on setting up Masternodes, screenshots would be preferable. I went through LimLim's bounties and it seemed like a fair amount.  I would also like for somebody like Tante, InternetApe, Chaositec or some other respectable member of the community to validate the guide that gets the bounty. I believe some clear directions and best practices for security would go a long way in encouraging people to set up master nodes.

As I understand the more master nodes on launch the better for Darksend. I understand the risks of setting up the nodes it has been discussed but I think we let each person worry about that, I am sure advice on how to setup and protect your node from DDOS,theft, etc would help. In my case I would have an IT professional that I trust implement the guide.  Would somebody be interested in this project?

I would gladly do something like this for 50 DRK but you should specify what exactly you ask for because I think Evan's guide is enough as is.
Well, at least I think because my masternode is technically still offline but it seems to be Evan's problem with his initial masternode (reminder: it's beta phase...).

I would like a Masternodes For Dummies Guide in the lines of:

  • 1. Install your server with Ubuntu 64 or whatever is preferable etc.. make sure you set it up in a certain way.
  • 2. Set up the IP and configure it in a certain way...
  • 3. Install the client and modify the configuration files in a certain way...
  • 4. Make sure you configure you Firewall like X.. I  have a Fortinet 80C is that enough?...
  • 5. To protect your wallet.dat make sure you encrypt it and dont expose it etc.. (Best Practices)...
  • 6. How to prevent and what to do in case of an attack?..

Something like this with screenshots is what I am looking for... And any other best practices advice you may find useful... I am basically in need of some consulting.. But would like to memorialize it in a guide so other people like me can benefit to.

Is it more clear?
