Follow some simple rules:
1. Make a backup of your wallet!!!
2. Encrypt your wallet with a proper password!!!
3. If you have to restart your wallet because of any reason, and you have to write your password again, first re-install your server image just in case someone hacked in and left a keylogger (just being paranoid).

If you follow these basic instructions even if someone hacks into your server they won't get your coins, "stupid proof".

The best setup is to have 2 machines:

Machine A: Holds 1000DRK, runs as masternode. Use configuration option -masternodeaddr=machineB
Machine B: Holds 0DRK, runs as masternode.

There's no target.

It doesn't get any safer Tongue

I wonder how Eduffield is doing today Cool

Whenever I think of Evan, and he's been silent, I picture him with his nose glued to the screen, manically typing code, oblivious to the world around him, LOL.

But it's Friday, so it's more likely that he's partying with his buddies, and having a beer, LOL.

Then again... last time we hadn't heard from him all weekend, that Monday, he put out a big Beta, or was it RC1?

That's funny, I picture him sipping a glass of Drambuie and dictating code into the Starship Enterprise main computer....

LOL, I'm actually picturing Linus from the peanuts cartoons (like when he's playing piano), so Me=old, you=geek Wink

LOL (I'd rather be you!!!)

Ha! It was Schroeder that plays the piano! Tongue

Interesting.

I already like what darkcoin will do for the evolution of more secure methods of money transmission.

Excellent work, sir!

Dumb people take pictures of their CC and publish them online https://twitter.com/NeedADebitCard

Hopefully dumb people won't be able to setup a masternode, but if they do they will lose their coins like they lose their real $$$

...

I don't think there is such a thing as "stupid proof"... mistakes are made, and servers have to be constantly patched and updated to have complete security (which in turn might introduce new loopholes as heartbleed has shown)...

But I tend to agree with you.

I am all FOR stupid people losing their money.
So that more capable people can enter the market and take over.

That's what I love about the free market. And if that is how Darkcoin is supposed to work, so be it. Grin

Interesting thing this darkcoin. I bought some a week ago, and am very happy I did. Cool

Thinking about setting up a masternode... but then again... I would NEVER DREAM OF putting a wallet on a server.

That just invites hackers to steal my DRK.

How do you guys guarantee the masternode holders are not just some noobs who have no idea about how to secure a server???

This is seriously dangerous...

I wonder when we'll hear about the first masternode losing all it's dark. (and possibly even some DRK of other people?)

Or am I missing something?

Other then that, I very much like DRK! And will continue to buy a few every day... :-)

Yes, you are missing something. The 1000DRK is just a collateral to ensure it is very expensive to attack the network. The coins have nothing to do with the Masternode roll of being randomly selected to mix a Darksend transaction. The masternodes play a role in the anonymity and they get pay for that service, the collateral coins are very unlikely to be stolen.

But wait a minute. My wallet has to be on a publicly accessible server with static ip. Visible to all.
My wallet must be on the same machine.

No wallet, no working masternode. Am I right?

So a hacker gets a free list of juicy static ips with each having a wallet of 1000 DRK, and we should just sleep tightly?

The best setup is to have 2 machines:

Machine A: Holds 1000DRK, runs as masternode. Use configuration option -masternodeaddr=machineB
Machine B: Holds 0DRK, runs as masternode.

But how do the masternodes make money? Do they effectively tax everyone using Darksend??

As I understand it, Masternodes get 10% of the block rewards and are required to hold 1000DRK and provide the mixing service. Is a new model, some sort of PoS. But I think others would be more fit to answer this question.

If you know what you are doing it's not that dangerous. Block all ports besides Dark and ssh, limit ssh to one IP, encrypt your wallet.

Damn, I know what I am talking about,... that's why I would never underestimate it and take it lightly.

Securing a server is the hardest thing to do these days.

Especially if it is CLEARLY deducible for every hacker what your server does and how much value it holds!
That's like asking to be raped.

A master node could never lose the Dark from others due to the way signing is implemented.
The devs are going to make an Amazon EC2 server image to help noobs set up master nodes securely.

Ok, losing others money is impossible, ...

But what about your wallet?

A thief will know that when he manages to hack your masternode wallet, he will ALWAYS get atleast 1000 DRK out of it.

What is the reason this coin going up now?

Is that just whales pump or somwthing else?

probably whale started this pump, but i think the rise from yesterday was quite natural because of the hype, people are pumping btc like crazy. Don't know how long this pump will last.

This is the new BTC.

Is the the delusion stage or already new paradigm?

Nope, that's take off.

Big dump. We were only $1,735 off a $10 mil market cap.

We've crossed that point when price was 0.0054

0.0054 x 4.150.000 DRKs x 460 USD bitcoin price = 10.3mn
