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...).
if one needs a tutorial its eventually a bad idea to host one unless you plan to fully outsource the management.
