Not to tempt fate but once the server say gets hacked Im presuming they then be able to ascertain > target the IP of your local wallet. Either way the 1000 DRK have to be "online" right? so you'll still require some major balls to run a masternode. What do u think?
I am tempted to post a link to a wallet.dat that has 1 DRK in it, and a strong password, and see if anyone can successfully spend that 1 DRK. I'd be betting they couldn't.
Another great answer!
quick follow-up : Im assuming the masternode stores a copy of the private key or must be able to unlock your local wallet somehow?
I have absolute faith in eduff and co. and am sure they have dealt with this problem, assuming it exists. But there is some kind of key transmission between wallet and server, yes?
