Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW

It takes 4 hours to setup a MN by an expert?

First, if you check my sig, one of the first things I say is I am not an expert.

Second, I take care of the "dirty" side of it, the VPS setup - quick and efficiently

Third, I 'm on IRC (or whatever) making sure the Masternode owner, who has no linux skills at all, understand every single step of the way of the local setup and configs (so I dont Teamviewer or something), which I think is crucial to protect the investment, setting up local.cold / remote setup.

And I do it in a manner that makes double sure neither side is able to scam the other. This includes setting up EC2 account from scratch, and local setup.

And it costs 1% of the total investment.

Does this offend you?

+1 I learned a lot

Only to the thing with the 4 hours bashing. I am absolutly noob with linux and servers, but with the very good guides from community on darkcointalk and here i got it running. Educate yourself.
Its possible to work it out - for all of us

I understand your position and you make valid arguments

It was not against your decision to buy support. I also was thinking about it.
It was for all the people who argue here that you have to be a nerd to join darkcoin.

Extremism... Having at least a basic clue how to computer is nowhere near "have to be a nerd." Just another diffraction of the entitlement mindset... Fortunately, people like this can't vote to hire the government to steal my DRKs at gunpoint and give them to themselves like they can with guvpaper.

If someone wants to drive an MN, I expect them to know what a steering while is and how to use it. Are racecar drivers "racing nerds?" Anyone who uses derisive terms to describe their betters is admitting to being a lesser.

I am a super-duper-geek. Dont get me wrong. I am not a professional, but extremely well versed in computers. Who here can say they typed their first keyboard on an ZX Spectrum 48k, learnt BASIC and cracked a school Acorn Archimedes? (before my first pubes)

My very first computer was based on a 4-bit processor extracted from the very first experiments in making a digital tracking system for the sidewinder missile. They were entirely analog before then, using a dome-shaped onyx crystal filter lens that could only be grown in space; the only reason the shuttle program existed. Then a TRaSh80 Model 2 w/ analog tape recorder as a storage device. There were no floppies. Writing polymorphic virii directly in assembly by 9yrs old...

Point being, you don't need that kind of skill to set up a masternode. It's really not that hard. This e-peen is entirely unnecessary. But having it gives a person perspective. Most "computer nerds" just know enough to run a snow job on those who are utterly clueless. The beige-box industry of the late 1990s and early 2Ks is a great example of the scam artists that proliferate by knowing just barely enough... Someone who knows just barely enough is NOT the person you want setting up a masternode.

I'd like to sample the people offering the service tho. So far I see only one I'd trust and am trying to work something out with him to give feedback to the community. It's such an easy thing to make work, but making it work PROPERLY and SECURELY is a whole different ball of wax...
