If you don't control the keys, you don't own shit.
If you don't have experience/infrastructure/whole amount coins for mn, you don't have mn's reward
And delegating that to some annoynymous noob that can just run off with the funds is a good way to lose the coins you are dumb enough to send. 99.99999% of the masternode coins started in the last months are just scams.
If the masternode wallet supports multisignature, it could be fine. But, the newbie status would definitely turn me away, that point is granted.
All the masternodes that I'm aware of require sending and locking up the masternode amount under a single transaction and wallet address. So basically this clown expects everyone to send him their coins for you to trust him to host the masternode, collect the payments and then send you your percentage. That's like someone saying they are a bank and you can trust them to hold your money for you and pay you interest. Sounds totally legit. LOL
There is one "clown" that's saying: Everybody trust mining pools BUT nobody will trust masternodes pool. LOL
For one the only thing I'm sending a pool is my hash rate and can set my own auto payout limit. Nobody is leaving hundreds or thousands of USD worth of Crypto locked up on a new pool or on an exchange and if you do, you're an idiot. Trusting some idiot on the internet to manage your masternode for you is just the next level stupid.
If you didn't know, hashpower = electricity = USD. And 5% of coins required by masternode is NOT "hundreds or thousands usd". So who's idiot here?
Any masternode that is worth having or isn't an outright scam will require several thousands or even hundreds of thousands of USD to hold. If you are too stupid to figure it out, running a successful business requires establishing credibility. Servers and domains used by pools also cost money and time to set up and run, which by investing in that infrastructure beforehand, helps pools establish credibility. Pools aren't saying 'send me your hash rate and I'll set up a pool to pay you with'. Anyone with a legitimate business plan would invest the time and resources to help establish that credibility. Creating a post on a forum with a link to a Discord and Telegram channel that can be set up anonymously by anyone for ZERO cost in 5 minutes does nothing for except to show it's a scam.
An infrastructure for hosting/securing/managing masternodes, time and work of 10+years-experienced IT infrastructure manager and two his helpers is much bigger investment than 10-dollars domain name. If you wish I'll buy one tomorrow for you.
Yea sure and I'm I fucking astronaut. Anybody can setup their own masternode on a VPS and you control you're own keys, which means you actually own it and not some scammer that can run off with it at any time.

Oh! You're astronaut!.. That's great! But who's f*cking you?
And yea.. Youtube is all you need to know to set all up-and-running
