I have the darkcoins to run 2 Masternodes, but I am veeeeeeeeeeeeeery hesitant to do so, exactly because I know how insecure the internets are.
I will operate masternodes eventually, but this strange push to more and more masternodes and more and more rewards for masternodes (at the expense of miners) I find just wrong.
And now even talks questioning the validity of mining itself? LMAO!
We should be careful is all I am saying, don't let it go to your head.

I'm in the same boat as you. I haven't started any masternodes yet either. And truth be told, a good portion of the modest stash of DRK I have was acquired by mining. I think it's important to have a system of checks and balances. Any one sided affair gets dangerous. However, having said that, I can understand what sir crouton is saying as well. Just because something has always been done a certain way, doesn't mean that there isn't room for improvement.

Don't get me wrong, I will never stop anybody from expressing his ideas, even if I don't like them.

All I am saying is, we need to act more like an evolutionary organism... let's have a little redundancy.
Our bodies have many redundant systems that help them function even when some nutrient is missing or scarce.
We need miners and masternodes, and in the future probably even more new kinds of "workers" that help the system survive, be strong and evolve.

The key is to have as much redundancy as possible.
That's why I cringe when I hear smug masternode holders talk down to miners...
It would be like me trying to get rid of the bacteria in my gut, not realizing that they help me digest food and that I will die without them.
