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.
Smug? I mined my first Masternode and bought the rest all the way up to 0.019. If miners whine that Masternodes are 'too profitable,' nobody is stopping them selling some GPU's and buying a Masternode too. They'd also save on electricity!

I am questioning the 80/20 split because I think Masternodes bring more to the table than miners do, that's all.
What table are you even talking about. I wasn't aware there is a table.
We have nothing yet with darkcoin. We need adoption, we need to prove ourselves.
We need to become the best security experts of the world (regarding server security), etc... when we reach that point I will accept that there is a "table".

Are you joking? Anonymous transactions, forthcoming InstanTX, there's the table. What did miners have to do with that? You know,
