But you want this accessibility to be restricted
Being able to generate interest with only purchasing 10 drk is a much lower barrier to entry than building a mining farm .. Sad

Your desire is only based on greed, and it's not the good kind of greed (getting wealthy)... it's the bad sociopathic kind of greed ("Give me your stuff, you useless eater")

Consider the security gains. Is the fact the MN operators make more coin a reason to deny security gains for the coin?

No, but you would need to prove that security gains do really exist, and are not just based on greed.

You know, miners have a 5 year old history of reliable security. That carries much more weight than Masternodes. Masternodes still have to prove themselves. (especially if you suddenly don't want to use them for anonymization only anymore, but want them to do blockchain securing too!!!)

I am looking forward to what people like gmaxwell have to say about darkcoin now that it is open source. Has he reacted yet?
We need more acceptance on a cryptographic research level before we even start contemplating things like "getting rid of miners". (I am still cringing)

That's why I immediately assume that you must have some bad agenda (I am probably wrong), because you just want to push forward and drop mining altogether... it doesnt make any sense to me.
Darkcoin is soooooooo incredibly young, let's just wait another year or so and see what happens, right?
Only pump and dump schemes need the action to be fast and swift, right?
