WARNING, [RANT] - If you don't fucking like it, don't fucking read it.
Well I had to read it to assess whether I liked it or not.
And now that I've ingested such a toxic venomous spew session by a very very very unhappy and sad little fellow let me just say this:
I followed Tao's guide (get it here
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/taos-masternode-setup-guide-for-dummies.2680/#post-25672) and found it to be relatively straight forward. I had a masternode setup within a short time and I've since followed his guide a few times to upgrade darkcoind too. All without too much difficulty.
I'm not sure what you're expecting. There are steps you need to follow and tools (like PuTTY) you need to use. It's not terribly difficult but does require some patience and willingness to work through each step.
If you are so special that you know how to write up some sort of mythological "compressed-down-to-a-few-key-sentences" wonder guide that's a quantum leap over and above those that have been written, then instead of carrying on like the toddlers chucking massive tantrums georgem's so aptly posted, why don't you put something together and grace us with your extraordinary insight and advanced communication capabilities?
In the meantime though, you've basically vomited all over the good work Tao, Tante and others have done and carried on like the grand poobah of fucktards whose seemingly only purpose in life is to put shit on EVERYONE.
You're an intelligent guy Camo but geez you're a fuckwit too.
Setting up a masternode is a very simple process. The guide I used was very straightforward and easy to follow. Anyone with minimal computer skills should be able to set one up in well under an hour. The longest part is waiting for the 1000 DRK to confirm.
But it's not the guide it's the user. Some people just don't have the intelligence or mental capability to perform simple tasks so they lash out in anger at anyone and everyone. If someone doesn't have the necessary knowledge to be able to successfully setup a masternode then they should pay someone to do it for them. There are people that have the intelligence to setup masternodes and have offered their services. This constant crying and profanity laden posts from a certain user attacking anyone and everything because they don't know what they are doing is getting rather old and one of the reasons that many people have a bad opinion of Darkcoin.
This clown is doing nothing for Darkcoin but damage. It should sell it's coins and move on to something that it can understand. Sesame Street would be a good place to start.
