I'm giving serious thought to offering escrow to help people set-up master nodes.

I keep hearing - I can't afford one, will never be able to get one, etc...that puts people off. That's not the main concern. My concern is that the perception of affordability leaves open the door to clones which begin to look like good value.

I have 10 mining rigs, plus another 3 PCs sitting around. So might be able to do a few private escrow wallet pools. Trust is the big issue. Am looking at technical challenges today.

Maybe if several people offered something similar, we might get people with 250 DRK to pool with others.  They operate the MN, escrow operates the wallet and weekly / bi-monthly pay outs.

edit - that does diminish the security aspect of MN. Affordability was one of the barriers to protect the network. So still undecided.

Thoughts welcome.
