Bad luck Ed.
And to think that I know of some people running hot masternodes on spot instances.  Lets hope they've got backups Cheesy

Are people still running hot masternodes? Why? Smiley

I'll propose a two part answer and you can work out whether its a good idea or not

1)  If you really know what you are doing, there is minimal risk to running a hot masternode.

2)  Setting up a hot master-node (especially if you are setting up lots via scripts and AMIs) is much simpler than a cold masternode.

Can you imagine setting up 50 cold masternodes? It'd be a nightmare.

It's not that hard, and with that much money at stake, jeepers, take the damn time!  When it all gets stolen, it'll be a PR nightmare for DRK.  "masternodes unsafe, millions lost!"  Gosh, hire one of our guys for the little they ask, and have them help you set it up or something, but don't leave a hot wallet on a server!  Please!
