Hive account@nitego This could be good for people who don't feel competent enough to set up the nodes themselves even with help in Discord. I know a ton of people who want to own SmartNodes but don't even know how to install the desktop wallet by themselves or even enter Discord (yes, this is real!). There are also people who own SmartNodes and don't have the time to run upgrades or stay updated with the news, hence you see more than 50% of the nodes still on the old version. SmartCash has one of the best teams and it is one of the best crypto projects out there. A node set up in a safe, secure way should be looked as a much longer-term value investment than it's "now" value. Imagine paying a $1000 to someone you trust for setting up a Dash master node​ a few years ago and then have that person maintain it for you. Anyhow, this seems to be an invitation-only club, so I am not sure how easy it is to get in.
