It takes 4 hours to setup a MN by an expert?
First, if you check my sig, one of the first things I say is I am not an expert.
Second, I take care of the "dirty" side of it, the VPS setup - quick and efficiently
Third, I 'm on IRC (or whatever) making sure the Masternode owner, who has no linux skills at all, understand every single step of the way of the local setup and configs (so I dont Teamviewer or something), which I think is crucial to protect the investment, setting up local.cold / remote setup.
And I do it in a manner that makes double sure neither side is able to scam the other. This includes setting up EC2 account from scratch, and local setup.
And it costs 1% of the total investment.
Does this offend you?
Its possible to work it out - for all of us
It was for all the people who argue here that you have to be a nerd to join darkcoin.
If someone wants to drive an MN, I expect them to know what a steering wheel is and how to use it. Are racecar drivers "racing nerds?" Anyone who uses derisive terms to describe their betters is admitting to being a lesser while willfully failing to step up to that level themselves.
If every fuckin' moron under then sun drives their MNs off a cliff, not only will they come trolling here about how fail MNs are when it is really their own failing, but it'll make the MN network flake. That's what the 1000DRK Stake is meant to encourage: not being a moron with 1000DRK. Now that it's a cold wallet, people don't feel too bad about the risk anymore, thus, they're not trying to do it right anymore... The only negative outcome doesn't affect them anymore. No more motivation to do the MN job right. This means we could have abundant failing MNs gunking up the network... This is part of why RC3 has been so hard to launch... The only negative outcome is that you won't get paid. And still people complain about that, too...
At some point a line has to be drawn and people need to be told: "Sorry, you're a fuckin' moron and we're not going to dumb it down for you any further. Anyone can figure this out if you jsut turn on your brain for an hour or two instead of being a whiny, entitled bitch calling people names for doing what you are too fucking lazy to do."
Morons shouldn't be in charge of the MN service. Period. Even morons don't want other morons in charge of MNs because it will affect the value of their holdings if MNs are crappy/flaky/constantly hacked/breaking/etc...
Jumping to the extreme of saying "nerds only" is absurd and false.
