we need to set up masternodes. i'm willing to pay for VPS to do this if someone can help me set it up.
Create a droplet,
erm...
you lost me at 'droplet' lol
sorry
i'll help in any way I can... Dev probably wants to keep any masternode within the dev team anywaysThe "create droplet" button is on the main page after you signed up with https://digitalocean.com/ The service is very cheap, and you can use the node for more than one coin.
OK, and I presume i'll need some info (code) from MsCollec? i'll wait 'til he gets back to me before I go ahead with this. Code makes me dizzy lol
Guys speak in plain language please. We are not all geeks.
The solutions you are recommending are way beyond the normal guy on the street. Also, you forget that many of us grew up well before a PC existed and most likely before most of you were born. Most my generation thinks i am nuts for just trying to keep up with you guys...but i see where you are going and know you are heading in the right direction. I find it exciting to be part of any leading edge innovation.
Analogy:
You're kinda like a surgeon telling a layperson person how to do kidney surgery on his own child. Well, the layperson doesn't understand the surgeon's scientific/medical language. He just wants the surgeon to do the surgery...not do it himself.
I think the best thing for a person like me to do is to go away for a week and come back to find a "working wallet" posted on page 1. Only 3 outcomes can happen:
1. no wallet works and my coins are lost for good.
2. wallet works and things are working
3. this is a scam and my coins are worth zero.
Worst case scenario, I will have lost only one week's worth of mining.
A "droplet" or VPN is a virtual server/computer that you rent on internet. You pay for a number of processors, memory, bandwith and diskspace to use for some time. You only get terminal-access to it (just like good old DOS or VT100), but it's good enough for some purposes.
The reason people are doing this is that the machine you can rent are much closer to high speed and quality internet than the one at home. Me for example lives on Cyprus and the latency and stability of communication to Europe, USA and Singapore is extremely unreliable, sometimes not there at all because of some earthquake or thunderstorm. So if I set up a webserver or a wallet for solomining a new coin, I will want to have it on that good server in Amsterdam and not here in Larnaca on Cyprus. That's why I create this droplet, that only cost me 5$ a month anyway..
