Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW | ASIC Resistant
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... 
If you're thinking of doing this on your home Windows box, you need to rethink that plan.

I don't know why people keep propagating the idea that Linux is inherently secure. If you set up any kind of server without any knowledge of what you're actually doing, setting it up on Linux won't help you shit. If you don't know about security stuff setting up a server is generally just a bad move and should be thought over. Please stop spreading that irresponsible "Use Linux and you're perfectly safe" myth. The penguin is not going to magically secure you if you don't know how to make use of its tools.
edit: Rant over. No offense!
Every system is as secure as you make it. Agree on that.
Linux can be made more secure with less effort, and you dont need tonns of 3rd party software.
And in linux you at least can check what is going on.
And you can do 100% of what you want to achieve on command line, without relying on stuff like Team View or RDP or VNC or whatsoever.
