Why are you even here? The only reasons I can think are 1) to FUD Darkcoin so that you can buy some for hopefully a fraction of a percentage cheaper, or 2) because you honestly think that this coin is some kind of fraud and you genuinely think you are protecting us, the uninformed innocent, from the evils of this coin (and have nothing better to do with your life). If the former, you are an idiot, because any "savings" you are getting must be miniscule compared to the effort you've been exerting. If the latter, well, at this point we have all heard what you've had to say and literally everyone here disagrees with you. Apparently, we cannot be "saved" from our misguided decision making. It has been made clear to you over and over again that your comments are not valuable or welcome here, yet you keep coming back. So I'd say scenario #2 you are an idiot as well.

Or, maybe you just enjoy annoying people? Who even has time to post all the crap you do? Go get a job or (another) hobby!

Great, one example of an exchange that will take your funds after one confirm. Do you really think that in any way discredits Evan or his point that bitcoin confirmations take a really damn long time? I have waited an hour for just three confirms, let alone six. Pointing to a chart of "average" confirmation times doesn't make it untrue that bitcoin can take an hour. Hell, there are Darkcoin blocks that due to simple randomness have taken 50 minutes in extreme cases. If anything, if this is your "body of evidence" that Evan is dishonest, you are only discrediting yourself.

Please, stop wasting everyone's time - including yours - clogging up this forum with gibberish.

So the lead dev has a private key which lets him control all the MasterNodes? Why does he need to control all MasterNodes? In the future, will he be in control or is this just temporary and if so how long will this continue?

Don't bother. 

The lead dev has a private key which lets him control all the MalwareNodes.

Just ask the cheerleaders here, they will confirm this is correct (while performing entertaining logical gymnastics to justify such a terrible no good awful idea).

Trusting a third party with your property is not advised; they are security holes:

TRUE or FALSE?

TRUE or FALSE?

It's true, and you don't even bother denying or justifying it.

You like trusting your cult leader with the key to all the MalwareNodes.

Just admit it.

megatroll sad to see drk didn't leave for boring monero in droves

So the daily payout rate is currently 70 cents for 1 Masternode?

I will answer you in terms of DASH ROI, the value in FIAT will of course depend on the price.

Requirements

In order to run a Masternode, an investor needs to buy 1000 DRK/DASH as collateral. These coins remain in control of the investor, but he needs to put them into one of his addresses and associate that address with the node.  The network checks that the node is running and that the funds are not moved, this classifies as a valid Masternode and then it is eligible to get paid.  With each mined block on the network a Masternode from the active Masternode list is selected and gets a payment, when all masternodes on the list are paid, the payment cycle starts again.
When there are updates in the software the Masternode operators have 7 days to update to the latest version, after that, they are dropped from the active Masternode list and stop getting paid until they update.

DASH ROI

You can estimate like this:

- Currently Masternodes get 40% of the block reward.

- The minimum block reward in DASH(DRK) is 4.65 DASH at this moment. I will assume difficulty is high enough so that we are dealing with the minimum reward for a worst case scenario situation, sometimes there are blocks with higher rewards. The minimum DASH block reward decreases by 7% annually to avoid abrupt block halvings, that already happened earlier this year so 4.65 DASH will be valid until next year.

- Average block-time in DASH is 2.5 min, so there are ~576 blocks per day. So 576*4.65DASH*40% = 1071.36 DASH alloted for the whole masternode network currently, we need to divide this by the 2300MN active masternodes. This gives us

 ~Monthly masternode income = 13.97 DASH
 ~Current Minimum DASH Annual ROI = 17%*

*This will change and go up throughout this year as the masternode network reward share will continue to increase each month to incentivize node creation following this schedule:



IMPORTANT:

-So in the end it will really be more than my estimation above as the reward share will continue to increase each month until it reaches 60% March 2016.  

-Having said that the number of Masternodes will also likely increase so I think it is safe to say tha the minimum annual return for a node in DASH should be around 20-25 %

-Now the return in FIAT could be a lot more if the coins appreciate in value year to year.

- Finally, and very important you always retain control of your 1000DASH and are able to liquidate them at any point you wish, you would then obviously just stop getting paid.

I really hopes this helps.
