Why does the
http://www.darkcoin.io
not have links to the latest sources or / and linux wallets ?

And why there are only some selected pools listed for mining ? And just one p2pool node stated as p2pool ?

I don't want to sound stupid, but at least a link to the p2pool node overview would be nice, so user can search for their own p2pool nodes for mining / fail over based on ping times.

But the links say RC2.. shouldn't they be RC3?

Ah. I didn't check it.
Version is correct, 9.10.1 and 10.10.1. <-- RC3

Couldn't a malicious master node compromise the identity of the sender?  Is there an easy way to always connect to a "trusted" master node to relay your transactions?  Is anyone out there helping to get some trustworthy master nodes established?

Couldn't a malicious master node compromise the identity of the sender?

Yes he could. That's why the dis-incentive to own a large number of masternodes for this purpose. That's also why anonymity upgrades are programmed for RC4.

As far as I remember from the technical discussions back in March, there is the possibility of doing "blind signatures" in which case the node doesn't know what is happening. However that model is problematic to implement due to DOS attacks and misbehavior that halts the transaction and everyone is left waiting forever. So non-blind signatures were implemented instead and, from what I understand, Evan has thought of a way to make non-blind signatures work in a more anonymous way (?). We'll have to wait out till RC4 to find out what's on the cards.

Is there an easy way to always connect to a "trusted" master node to relay your transactions?  Is anyone out there helping to get some trustworthy master nodes established?  

It doesn't go like this, as the masternode is chosen at random (or pseudo-randomly, I'm not sure). I think if the node was known in advance or selected, it would be problematic in other aspects. For example, if you selected node 240 for mixing and I selected node 321 for mixing, how would we mix our coins? So there has to be a way where everyone is using the same node for mixing in the same round.

An alternative to obfuscating the money flow to bypass the problem of the bad actor is to DarkSend the money multiple times. So if 10% of the network has bad actors, if you darksend money two times, it goes 10% x 10% = 1% chance... if you darksend them 3 times it goes 10x10x10 = 0.1% chance of the bad actor knowing the money flow from start to finish.

It likely won't react. More hashpower only splits the pie. Diff is pushed to the wall already. As long as DRK exists, it has that influence on all X11 coins' value so multi-pooling won't do anything. There is no such thing as an X11 coin that isn't used to buy DRK.

There may be short term aberrations, but probably not even noticeable. Probably only detectable on low volume pools, and only internally at that. Mostly due to derpminers not realizing that alt x11 coins do not live in their own walled garden...

Currently in the process of setting up my first MN, have it locked down security-wise (block root ssh etc), but i cant really seem to get the cold/hot setup working.

I have followed the guides posted on darkcointalk by tantestefana and chaeplin (excellent guides btw), but iam wondering if its not possible to generate the masternode key etc yet on the stable version?

here is the darkcoind info i have on my MN;

"version" : 91001,
    "protocolversion" : 70018,
    "walletversion" : 60000,

Using ancient versions will do that...

yeah, you need to get the rc version on both machines.

Right, kindoff figured.. is it perhaps better to wait for a newer stable release, or i should grab the 10x something version now? just not sure how i go about updating darkcoind (now and in the future), or its as simple as pointing it to another repo and going through the building process again?

Predictions on if we get a 'buy the rumor' rally leading up to the release? (I imagine we're getting close to entering that 'buy the rumor' timeframe)
OR
Is everyone (who hasn't already loaded the DRK boat) going to sit and watch first to see if MN payments work correctly this time, and therefore volume will deplete more and more and price do nothing?

Just keeping an eye on things.  I would actually prefer 1 more layer of master nodes in the tx process so that a trusted node could be used for the initial transaction.  If I understand things correctly and the master node your transaction randomly ends up using is malicious, you are no more secure than using Bitcoin.  That's sort of like rolling the dice with your anonymity on every tx.  With so few master nodes and the hurdle to run one acting as an artificial price stimulus, the risk is pretty high to warrant an investment to enter the space.
