Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW | Fork for Masternode Payment
I think it's rather short sighted to be viewing DRK as the money making venture in and of itself. The real money will be made in cottage industries surrounding DRK, which nobody here ever seems to talk about. I mean, if someone came up with a secure way to pool resources for a MN, for example, I'd be willing to pay that person a fair fee to use his or her services.
Regarding Masternode fees: miners are mining coins which are so sought after precisely because of the Masternode network and the functionality that it brings to Darkcoin vs. our competition. In large part, Darkcoin is what it is precisely because of the anonymization system Evan has built, and the Masternode network is the linchpin of that system. It's rather silly to complain about supporting the very system that makes the coin you are mining unique and valuable, is it not?
And while we're on the subject, who ever said that Masternodes are the only way you'll be able to earn a proof of service return on DRK?

I think we covered most of that. Someone suggested memes only if you want to make those points again.
Seriously, I do think, in a rather 'out there way', that MNs could be packaged up and floated on the NASDAQ at some point.
El Presidente pointed out that MN wallets can get earned coins sent to a second address. Multi-sig would mean that MNs could be put into a contractual relationship with a third party and these two aspects could keep the MN owners anonymous therefore not compromising the decentralised nature of the network.
The only missing part is how to contractually get MN owners to assign their MNs to a corporation, while maintaining them, without having to tell the corporation who they are. Multi-sig solves one aspect of controlling the money moving out without dual consent, but the corporation might have to have some form of lease agreement.
