I was doing something else to remind someone that DRK isn't and hasn't been full of Monero trolls, and then this ^^
Just a thought......
DRK has around 1,000 decentralized Master Nodes - servers. Those Master Node operators get paid to have a robust DDoS set-up and prove they are who they say they are and not thousands of men in the middle by putting aside 1,000 DRK (most use cold storage to reduce incentives to attack Master Node servers).
Those servers could be used to support the growing Monero block chain too without you having to figure out a similar mechanism?

So it was the original idea behind decentralised cryptocoins to allow some choosen rich few to buy themselves into a priviledged position inside the network?
All people are equal, but Masternodes even more so? Reeking in their fair share or revenue by clipping of their earnings from each and every transaction beeing done?
People bragging to make 1 BTC a week by running a node?
One of the reasons why I implemented a muting people inside Poloniex trollbox addon, get it here

Chosen rich few? Anyone can set-up a Master Node.
You could have the same argument as ASICs. Distributed ASICs help secure the network, but they come at a price. That's what prevents 51% attackers, the cost of launching attacks.
That's what PoW is as well. A cost barrier.
The cost barrier was recently deployed to prevent spamming the Monero block chain.
This is the only reply, so the thought is dropped. I'm not looking to enter into an argument.
