Let's say I have 25k DRK, and I want to use them to setup some masternodes, I could setup them as these 3 options:

- 1x masternode with 25k DRKs, what means I have 25 tickets for the next masternode selection lottery.
- 5x masternodes of 5k coins each
- 25x masternodes of 1k coins each

I guess the 3rd option would be more helpful for the network, because there would be 25 extra masternodes instead of 5 or 1, what means a healthier network, but if I look at it from my personal gain, is there any benefit in having that 3rd solution instead of the 2nd or 1st one?



Now, from the security point of view, let's say that my wallet has a very difficult password (100% random 200+ chars), and I have a backup of the wallet.dat file, then someone hacks into my server and gets total access. If they are unable to find out my password, is there anyway they could steal my coins or profit anyhow from it? I guess the answer is not, but I want to be 101% sure.

As I understand, the total gain from all master nodes is constant. Your personal gain is proportional to the fraction of masternodes owned by you, so yes, option #3 has the highest profits. The gain is slightly less than linear with the number of masternodes since you're increasing the total number of them.

I knew it ever since the start. Now there are dozens of new "POW" coins coming along, there even is Whitecoin which is an exact replica. It's basically a gamble in which the big btc holders control the market and steal coins to investors giving it a shot. Imagine how many people lost btc during the BC pump and dump, yet they never learn. :/

Unless I'm mistaken you get 1 ticket for every 1k DRKs in your masternode, meaning that if you have 2k coins and I have 1k you have twice my possibilities to be selected, isn't it like this?

I was just surprised at how close the BC chart was to the generic pump and dump chart 

ill look into it

while we make fun of blackcoin, mintpal is going to introduce bc market. first treading pair will be bc/doge

Is that not also comical?

it would shake the apples from the tree and the distribution would be wider.
