Oh you will come to learn the true costs of running a masternode my friend.
The key thing about the miners is that they simply have to be good at mathematics to prove their worth. They need to hash fast and nothing else.
They don't need to hash fast at all, PoW exists to try and ensure decentralisation of whatever that total hash is, that's all.
But prove to me that every masternode holder truly knows how to secure and maintain a server? Are most masternodes still running on amazon clouds, for crying out loud?
Incompetent MN ops will end up with dead Masternodes, more reward for the competent ones, no problem there.
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.
Strong wallet passpword. Nobody has ever bruteforced a decent wallet password. You already have a wallet somewhere, right? You might as well be running your 2 Masternodes then.
