Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW | ASIC Resistant
I'm giving serious thought to offering escrow to help people set-up master nodes.
I keep hearing - I can't afford one, will never be able to get one, etc...that puts people off. That's not the main concern. My concern is that the perception of affordability leaves open the door to clones which begin to look like good value.
I have 10 mining rigs, plus another 3 PCs sitting around. So might be able to do a few private escrow wallet pools. Trust is the big issue. Am looking at technical challenges today.
Maybe if several people offered something similar, we might get people with 250 DRK to pool with others. They operate the MN, escrow operates the wallet and weekly / bi-monthly pay outs.
edit - that does diminish the security aspect of MN. Affordability was one of the barriers to protect the network. So still undecided.
Thoughts welcome.

When DRK hits $100 a masternode will be worth 100,000 bucks
Who will risk running such a server besides security geniuses?
Could this become an issue. will future masternodes require less DRK?

Evan said he is not considering lowering the DRK requirement for masternode. 1000DRK is reasonable enough and will make the 51% attack harder in the end
What we need next is someone with some programming talent to make a site like a pool, but you buy shares of a masternode. So when masternodes are much more expensive, they could still be divided down to a reasonable level. This would also allow someone who was not computer savvy to invest in masternodes, which is optimal.
I suggest the software not be based on anything existing, so it could become a darkcoin advantage over the competition. It seems pretty simple though, you buy shares for 1DRK, then it has some screens for stats and it pays out dividends much like MPOS.
