So janos666 can we do this? I am willing to advance 25DRK so you know you are not wasting your time?

I asked for the specifics because I wasn't sure if you want a simple masternode guide (how to install and set up a wallet daemon as a masternode on an already working system)  or an all-around guide starting from scratch to a mid/high level security server.

I already set up my masternode, so it wouldn't be hard to play it over and document the steps with screenshots.
But I would never call myself an IT, let alone an IT security expert.

I trust in my own security measures as much that I risk my own coins, but no way that I would risk other's, so I am not your guy.
And I don't think my own habits are optimal for most of the people who need a guide.

I would still do this for 50 DRK though, if I felt I have the required skill set. (It also benefits the whole community, the DRK reward is just a little extra.) But I do not.

But I think he wants instructions that include how to DDOS proof and set up firewalls and any  other safety that is prudent Smiley

That's why I said I am not "the guy".

My own node is secure in a way that you can't steal my coins without physically breaking into my house and find the wallet password (hint: it's not in the fridge). And I run a custom OpenWRT firmware on my router which acts as a hardware firewall and a weak DDoS countermeasure. And I followed the Gentoo security handbook during the OS setup. But that's it. I never said you can't hack my server.

Well, sounds to me like you know what you're doing, I don't know half of what you said LOL.  Maybe you are the guy!

Thanks, Tante, you always help people on this thread. A guide on what Janos just described would be perfect, I would just extrapolate it to my own setup, like I will be doing it from an office environment and using a physical firewall but I think conceptually it would help, if somebody else is interested the offer is still open for the 50DRK on guide on how to set up a master node.
