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?

The masternode just needs to see that those 1000 DRK are still living in that address, which it can do by looking at the blockchain. No key is required. The masternode doesn't ever need to unlock the wallet, the 1000 DRK are never used in any way in the mixing process.

Just a quick question.
Can the masternode be set up with the latest 9.x wallet, or does it need the 10.x branch ?
Asking because I do not run Ubuntu, for which the 10.x binary is compiled.

thanks

Masternodes dont use the GUI wallet clients you're used to, you run the CLI darkcoind daemon on the masternode server. But yes that darkcoind needs to be the latest RC (10.xx.xx) version. Linux is the only sane option if you're running a masternode... Wink

Sure, I am talking about linux here, but the gcc the current 10x daemon is compiled is is lower that the one I have running.
So its missing the "old" GLIBC libraries

./darkcoind: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./darkcoind)
./darkcoind: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./darkcoind)

EDIT: As I see I have to update to the latest "experimental" debian branch to get 2.15, as currently the main has 2.13.

Was planning to run 2 master nodes, with the idea of having the "local" wallet in a paper wallet form.
