671 active masternodes x 1000 DRK = 671.000 DRK x $6 = $4.026.000

Sapphire Radeon 7950 100352-3L price is $309

(I'm thinking of other equipment (Mothercoards, HDDs, CPU etc.) and downed price % 30)

$4.026.000 / 1.3 = $3096923 / $309 = 10022 pcs Radeon 7950

874 Kh/s Radeon 7950 Scrypt performance = 4.1 Mh/s for X11

10022 PCS x 4.1 = 41090 Mh/s (41 Gh/s)

41 Gh/s = Diff skyrocket (%50)

Aproxx mineable DRK = 284,5 / Day (Excluding electricity and cooling costs)

Approx Darkcoin daily now: 2880 DRK (%20 is 576 DRK)

In your opinion a fair system?

masternodes;

make it possible to send money anonymously, via darksend.
make the coin scarce because of 1000 DRK requirement when building one.
present a challenge to build one because you need to buy/mine 1000 DRK's for each masternode. only after that you can earn DRK's with it. but you only need a cpu/gpu to instantly begin earning money with mining.

so, masternodes present an important value for the coin and they get their shares from overall coin production. Yes, I think it is fair.
