Well, seems like we have someone unethical among us,
today at 11.30 AM and 1:30 PM Quebec time, someon decided to hack the dice game, and the wheel game, they have been emptied out...
i have lost 357 drk in this hack, and im in contact with digital ocean where one of the hacks where run from, and to nephax.net where the other was run from...
im covering those accounts on there with my own drk (which means that after tomorrow where the last extra lottery is being drawn from lotterymining, i will stop doing lotteries, since im now so low in drk that i will not use the last few that i have)
with the help of evan both wheel of fortune, and the dice game are now safe from timing attacks.
CHAOSiTEC
Edit: the dice game and wheel of fortune have been refunded, go play..
and remember 25% of all the profits go to darkcoin projects/bounties
the rest is used to fund other crazy ideas on how to make peoples lives a little richer...

I admit I'm a bit out of my technological depth here so this may be an obvious question but does a master node maintain anonymity?
A follow-up question if the answer is 'no': Could there be grounds for the prosecution of a master node operator for money laundering?

This is a very good question.
Obviously the Masternode has no anonymity. I think you just identified a key weaknesses.
No one can predict what the government will rule. If Homelust ScrewUrity can create the TSA to let aspiring closet pedophiles put their hands down your kids' pants and jackoff in the viewing room to your wife's nude Infrared breasts, there is nothing they can't potentially do.
It would be much better if the ones doing the mixing are anonymous too.

Behind TOR, yes.
As for your second question, mixing coins is not money laundering as far as I know, it's a privacy tool.
Ah ok, thanks. If the first question is resolved, the second doesn't really matter.
I was imagining that the issue could be with a legal system (in any country) defining "coin-mixing" as a money laundering tool. The master node operator is obscuring the transfer of money from one place to another. I'm not sure that saying "you can't prove that illegal money passed through my node" will convince a judge.
I'm going to quote myself because I did a double edit the same time you did your post.

1) You would have to provide the service knowing that the other party was structuring/laundering (you wouldn't).
2) They would have to be able to prove through tracing many DarkSends that those parties even owned the coins. Next to impossible unless sybil attack somehow happens on a wide scale (highly unlikely from what I've read by Evan).
3) Most of those sections have to do with a user declaring their own money or a receiving business declaring the money, both of which would not apply to a master node.

Perhaps a small bounty prize like 10 DRKs could be given for the best idea / proposal for the name of the unit. It is, in a way, part of the marketing package as the names are part of the coin's brand and image. But if something like that goes forward, proposals should be kept outside of the thread as to keep noise levels down (submitted to someone through pm/email or something and then members get to see the end list of 50 proposals).
Personally I'd try to find latin words related to darkness that also sound cool. I've also thought about the moon* - like 1 luna / 500 lunas etc.
* To the moooooon

Can someone give me a number crunch on how much a 1000DRK masternode will generate in current value hard cash indebt dollars / block?
There are no set parameters yet on the mining fees, the DRK requirements for a node etc.

Found this: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Anonymity\
Legality
Obviously, using Bitcoin anonymity techniques for the purposes of money laundering is illegal, but participating or running schemes which others use for money laundering may also be illegal or at least leave the participant vulnerable to accusations of aiding criminals and terrorists. Bitcoin anonymity techniques involving bitcoins worth large amounts of money (over some value between FJ$1,100 and US$58,000, depending on your jurisdiction) is illegal in most jurisdictions, being in violation of anti-structuring laws.

Im ready to invest 
April 02, 2014, 03:53:18 PM
Evan, what about this?
I think it would be good to tie the investment requirement to the price - when the coin is more popular, needs more nodes for the security - with the higher price it might limit amount of nodes.
Assuming the difficulty is somewhat related to the price (albeit being skewed a little bit now) - why not make the investment requirement tied to the difficulty level.
This way the node reward should always self regulate and always attract nodes - no matter the coin price.

What happens when max coins is reached?
"We actually never will reach max coins, since the decline is 7% a year, it goes on forever."
Up to how many digits is the block reward capable of handling? I mean if it's like 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000165 DRK block reward and you have to divide that to a further 1000 nodes, and the float variable precision is up to a point that it can't handle it, perhaps it'll simply return a zero. I have no idea by what year we'll reach that number though
Heh, yeah I calculated it and we'll be at about a 2.2 duff (satoshi, saroshi? what did we pick?) in 300+ years.

And another dead coin before it even started: [ANN][RND] RandomCoin -Random Dif every hour- [NO Premine][Exchange ready]
Dev wanted to release a X11 coin but disappeared before launch.

I have asked before, but:
* Can DarkSend be the default payment option, with Darkcoin as the tick box option? For the average person, using darksend should be the norm. Those that want cheaper payment tools can opt out. People that use Darksend would be technical, but as things move on ordinary people would just expect anonymity from the word go.

+1, I've also asked for this before - but I could swear Evan changed it to default to DarkSend in an earlier beta client. Perhaps a simple oversight on the latest client?
I also think it would be helpful to have an opt-out confirmation dialogue before the send is actually made. Evan indicated that it was possible to do in the client.
Yea in the Beta its checked by default. I would like to beable to set an option in the conf file saying if I want it as default or not.

My question, I suppose is to do with block rewards diminishing as you approach max coins, while the number of nodes goes up. Smaller rewards are split amongst greater numbers?
Correct

I'm up for a few nodes.

you maybe able to tell, I'm angling for as much in fees from DarkSend as possible. I would sell my rental to buy some rack space - buy more DRK, earn money from block rewards and darksend transaction fees.
Yes the reward goes down, but the price per DRK will go up.
