so if i invested 100 drk. then 30 would be for the start up fee and 70 would go to the master node. and i would receive a percentage based on the 70 and the 70 would also be there when we shut down?
Hi Kuttingcorners,
At this point I'm only setting up these nodes with teams maxing out at four people (minimum 25% stakes each) to simplify ownerships and decision making. We may go to 10% ownership stakes in the near future but not quite yet.
I'm paying for Pro AV/FW/DDOS for the first two nodes in Batch 1 just to get started with this service and to gain experience with administrating DRK MNs.
Going forward: Batches 2 (
CLOSED) & 3 (
OPEN) -
1. Team pays for Pro Antivirus/Firewall/DDOS prior to setting up node OR pays me to buy and set this up for you (at normal retail prices). This protection suite can be pre-installed or I can install and configure this for you.
The Team is either pre-made or does matchmaking through this service. If you need help building a team, please add yourself to the waiting list and I will match you with the next available pool.
2. DRK funds pooled will go to ONLY towards meeting the 1000 DRK needing to be sent to a specific address which upon confirmation of receipt of funds, registers and qualifies your server as a Darkcoin MasterNode.
These DRK funds can be returned in 3 days at any time minus a 1.5% Change Ownership Fee paid by the Original stake owner. A 3 days notice must be given first so that we can replace your stake in the node without having to take the MN offline. The
New stake owner also pays a 1.5% Change Ownership Fee for access to an already working, secured DRK MN).
3. Either you give me remote admin access to a server already pre-configured with AV/FW/DDOS for MasterNode software installation (15 DRK) or I set up a server for you from scratch (30 DRK).
4. Setup includes post-installation security testing.
5. DRK MN is either handed over for immediate admin PW change(s) or the node is managed on a month to month basis at the following rates which are deducted from the bi-monthly payouts of accrued DRK:
- Batch 2: 1.5% Management Fee (CLOSED)
- Batch 3: 3% Management FeeExample (not meant as a profit projection): Timmy puts up 25% of the DRK needed to run a Batch Three DZ DRK MN AND 25% of the agreed upon Server/AV/FW/DDOS subscription fees - either monthly or annually. Over the course of ~15 days, let's assume 30 DRK was accrued by the team's node for performing DRK MN services for the DRK network.
In this case, with a 25% stake, Timmy would be paid out one-fourth of this node's coins minus a 3% fee: 7.5 DRK minus a 3% Management Fee (7.5 * 0.97), or 7.275 DRK after about 15 days. Hope this helps!

Don't forget: These nodes are set up and secured by a veteran Network Engineer with a background in InfoSec and network/system design, by someone who has handled 1-2K worth of community BTC for Bitcoin rig orders, and not just "some guy that's pretty good with computers" (possibly without a trust rating anywhere). No offense to talented amateurs but I regularly work with and design Windows & Linux systems and networks that must meet the world's most stringent Certification & Accreditation requirements to be allowed to operate in field tests.
My past and present IT client list includes 3 US National Labs, MIT, NASA JPL, the County of Kauai, the State of Hawaii, and every branch of the US military including the MDA (as can be seen in my "one of a kind" series of pics in my sig below which I originally shared as KauaiDKer on the SurferMag BB).
