Roede94105 here,

Yidakee on IRC #Darkcoin (aka GhostPlayer in this forum) helped me setup my master node today, took about 4 hours, everything went ABSOLUTELY smoothly, he took the time to explain everything and I am now a MN owner thanks to him!

If you have no knowledge like me, but want to setup a MN in a safe way and while protecting the network, contact him!

Yer a wizard, Yida 

He's trying to make a good thing look like a bad thing with socialist class warfare argument.

There are already two tiers: people qualified to run a masternode and lazy whiners who complain that it "isn't fair."

The lazy whiners want money-hose-for-nothing and say it isn't "fair" that people who actually work for what they have get to have what they have. Next they'll vote to tax DRK and give free DRK to the lazy ones...

Mario knows what's best for his future!  

It takes 4 hours to take my hand and make me download ubuntu and learn to use the terminal and setup my own amazon EC2 server and check that I didn't do any mistake etc.

I think I already explained.

Ones that receive "interest" and ones that don't.

The thread's now dominated by masternode holders discussing their masternodes, but they are in the minority amongst holders. Most holders are not masternode'ers. They do not receive interest payments and are not participants in this whole process, yet they're the ones who determine the valuation. I see that as a problem.

It could have a potentially divisive effect on the  stakeholder base by creating an "us and them" atmosphere, particular when all everyone does is bang on about how much their getting from their masternode and nothing about what service masternodes provide to other holders. This needs to be addressed IMO otherwise people will ask "why am I holding this declining value coin just so they can cream off my transaction fees ?".

i.e. non-masternode holders need to see a tangible benefit from the existence of the MN network, otherwise they'll just see it as overhead and dump.

To reduce the "F5" MN payments refresh interval, here is a link that I saw several times on different forums. (Not sure about accuracy).

For countries with serious debts problems, the citizens of these countries have at lease one option with crypto currencies (Hey, DRK is a great option).

Oh.. XC troll..

I don't know how feasible this is, but if some kind of POS could be integrated so that DRK holders could earn interest on the coins in their wallet, that would be enough to close the divide IMO. Then DRK enthusiasts have TWO ways of earning coins; those who do not feel competent enough to run a Masternode can still benefit from interest earnings.

POS is working well for certain other coins. Incidentally as a side note I think it is worth congratulating DRK holders for resisting any urges that may have been felt to sell up and hop onto Vericoin. Some other weaker coins have been falling recently - I believe in the mad rush to change sides (which will end in tears for many, as usual!).

 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?

I wonder Masternode setup possible on the Windows operating system ?
