One can imagine preconfigured Rasberry Pi's with VPN, Tor and Darkcoin software with a big D label sticker on it
Have you ever tried surfing the web on a Pi? Add in a VPN and Tor and you might as well go back to the bronze age... Android phone/apps though, something with a little more hardware horsepower...
Apart from the rest of the world suffering more than the US, I think you are absolutely spot on with this. People have no idea just how badly their governments have been screwing up, and screwing them.
If there's anyone here that thinks what happened in Cyprus is a one off, think again. European governments such as the U.K have after the Cyprus event recently put into solid law that HMRC can take ANYONES wealth as they wish a.k.a. BAIL INS. During the next big collapse direct confiscation of wealth from citizens bank accounts will be rampant. Time to convert your assets into diverse crypto cold storage. It's safer than gold which they can also confiscate more easily than cryptos.
Yep, this will probably happen, though it depends how well you bury your gold...

Not to tempt fate but once the server say gets hacked Im presuming they then be able to ascertain > target the IP of your local wallet. Either way the 1000 DRK have to be "online" right? so you'll still require some major balls to run a masternode. What do u think?
I am tempted to post a link to a wallet.dat that has 1 DRK in it, and a strong password, and see if anyone can successfully spend that 1 DRK. I'd be betting they couldn't.
