The next stage of DarkSend
The design of Darkcoin is all about economic incentives, I've tried to bake as much of that in as possible. I've been thinking about the reliance on master nodes in our new design for securing the network and I see some room for improvement.
With the current design we will require 1000DRK to operate a master node. That requires you putting 1000DRK in a hotwallet (dangerous) only to collect the collateral fees which won't amount to much.
So what do we want?
- We want as many master nodes as possible (the more nodes the more secure the network)
- We want them to be profitable to run
- We want it to be very expensive investment to operate a master node
So I propose the following solution, each block the last master node will receive 10% of the mining reward (in addition to the reward given to the miner). So for example, if the mining reward was 19DRK the last master node will automatically receive 1.9DRK.
Good to see I did help. I helped you focus on a need apparently. That makes me feel good. Best of luck with it.

I personally dont give a shit about anything except this thread. AnonyMint knows his shit! Page 626 and below are worth a read on the DARKCOIN THREAD. I was thinking about dumping my Darkcoins, but this changed my mind. Im a fanboy of Darkcoin regardless of what the DEV says. Maybe the Dev wanted the linux guys to mine it because he thought they would appreciate its value more than the Windows users who may of dumped it? Who knows? I do know that AnonyMint is the real deal!!! Spoetnik does a drive-by, while this guy had everybodys ear. This thread kept me in long term. Btw... I also love my QUARKS!
A scam is a scam. No matter the amount of argument that will never change. I hadn't really notice dark coin has a start like that and have even mentioned probably a wise investment on many occasions in threads.
I am sorry to learn it's origins are so tainted. However for now i don't wish to focus on drkcoin or anycoin. I think it is very important for the entire community to know all the FACTS about x11 before every single coin adopts that algo. I was even pushing hard for x11 in the communities i take part in. However now it really does not look like the wise choice. If the dev comes in here and describes in detail why it is superior then great let's all hurry and get swapped over to it.
But come on be honest... most of the tech people in here whether they be coin designers, coders that have built miners, people that run lots of pools, ..... i am hearing NOTHING to suggest this is the best solution at all.
