Funny I consider doing a project like this. The MN state of things when it comes to guides and tools is pathetic, and if you know linux a little you see that. Also many coins to not have binaries or build guides out for GUI wallets on 17.10 witch in fact is the current version of ubuntu that most people run on desktops. As for servers its fine to focus on 16.04 but wallets should be out for 17.10 for every coin.
BUT after reading or how outdated their code is, on how someone owns all the coins on one address and shit like this I do not consider this trustworthy at all.
I worked for a week+ on a ansible playbook and roles that make it incredible easy to deploy coins, where EVERYTHING is done with automation. Server security, compile or download of binaries. Multiple NODE support on one VPS, even its the same coin using different IP or port. Not yet educated on what coins actually only need a different port. Systemd service AND the coins daemons for each coin all have their own user and do not run as root.
I am playing with the idea of forking a coin that has well maintained code that is up to date and has a easy build chain for current ubuntu versions out. I can actually not code c, c++ (I am a web php, HTML, SCSS, JS, guy) but I do not intend to actually technically do anything exciting I just think about cloning a coin and create a community around master-nodes. People helping themselves out, building a well maintained ansible project for running nodes together. No promotions and stuff like that on discord (or actually I would prefer a open source alternative). A investigation team for spotting scams and crap coins. Would that not be great to have a community of masternode holders when you can talk about every coin objectively. I mean if you hang arround dicord chats of coins, dev for example they have this retarded rule that you are not even allowed to talk about other coins. Its like a sect! And there are so many noobs who need a place to go to not get sucked into scams and crappy MN guides that do not even add the coin to the autostart. As soon as the VPS reboots their node is down.

another newbie! yay. masternode require 24/7 if your vps down then bye bye. there are none exist auto start mn coin out there.
wrong. you either update-rc.d at the cmdline or edit rc.local to restart you MN or anything else at reboot.
