Kind of a Proof of Stake and Proof of Service rolled together... Better than a pure Proof of Stake, which really serves no purpose at all... It makes Proof of Stake into something more, which actually has a use. You guys are fucking geniuses.
Ah, The elegance of tying so many things together... PoS payout for providing a service to the network, also limits masternodes, creates a coin with PoS and PoW (PoS that actually requires that you do something for the network, not just hold the stuff) in it, while facilitating the anonymity function, and we're right back to the beginning of the loop... Beautiful. It's the kind of paradoxical working ruleset that makes all cryptos function, but this is the only CryptoCoin that has this one. Could also be extensible to shortchaining so clients don't need the whole blockchain, and masternodes can be used as blockchain repositories... Centralized without being centralized, and those who run the masternode get paid for providing that service proportional to the job just like the darksend they already do... Fucking perfect.
Anonymint, bless his annoying little heart, actually pulled a lot of this out of Evan a couple of weeks ago. I've noticed he hasn't come around again lately, and can't help but wonder if he's pissed that he actually help out so much, ROFL. I don't think he'd ever received so much praise in his life! But yes, this is why I think Darkcoin with Evan and Kyle and all those wonderful people that help out by compiling windows, creating miners, making tutorials, etc... is going to be an amazing coin.
