wanted to let everyone know about my successful involvement with sologap... I'm a bit of a noob so I don't know if what I'm telling you is relevant at all, but sologap helped me to set up 4 masternodes on my own private vps several weeks back. I bought the vps, he gave me a $20 vultr coupon code for that, and I gave him the vps ip address and my initial password. He configured 4 masternodes for me, and when he was done he had me transfer 500 crave to each one. He then activated them for me and configured 4 .bat files right on my vps desktop so that I can easily activate each one whenever my vps needed to be reset. I paid him $5 US per each one, so $20 total - at the time I paid him in Crave - 45 crave to be exact. As soon as he completed the setup, I changed the password to my vps, and encrypted all 4 of the masternode wallets and backed up each wallet as well.
I had no issues. Out of concern however I did close out all 4 of these masternodes, transferred everything to my home crave wallet and now I'm just staking the coins at home.
I did notice one odd thing however - about a week after he configured everything for me, when I logged back in, one of the wallets transaction page was open, which is something I never left open. I thought it was odd at the time, as I always leave everything right on the wallet dashboard whenever I logged out...
One thing that was a little bit different from his setup than the configuration instructions I've found in here is that he used tor for some reason. In order for the MNs to work, I always had to start tor first, then open the MNs, issue the masternode start command, encrypt the wallet, etc.
I learnt my lesson after running pay-dice for some time... and thats to never allow anyone onto the VPS as backdoors are just too easy.
I am glad you didn't get burnt and transferred all your coins in time.
Also lesson number 2 is : we will never find sologaps IP if he used tor..
I know it is part of the game
