So, is the lead dev a high schooler making bank pumping out new masternode coins or not? What other projects are you involved with?

There is, although it's a bit outdated.

You can follow the setup here: https://github.com/Rheniumnetwork/Masternode-Setup-Guide/tree/master/Masternode%20setup%20guide%20by%20Brewmaster
You will also need to run the following commands in the VPS console to update the Rhenium installation:

cd /root/.Rhenium/
wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Brew-master/Rhenium/master/updateserver.sh && bash updateserver.sh

If you need help, their discord is the best place to look for it: https://discord.gg/qfwxesG

Seriosuly though, is it really that hard to fix the wallet and update the installation scripts? Why make everyone jump through those unnecessary hoops to get started?
