[ntrn500]

there are only two ways in this world to look important to the masses:
  1) DRK
  2) Mercedes

However the 2nd one does not bring any money.

Ugh!  I promised my friends to "fix" their computer tomorrow morning.  I'm supposed to be there an hour after Masternode payments start!  LOL.  I don't know what I'm going to do if suddenly there are updates or something, I won't be able to do them    Things better run smoothly or I'll be an angry rabbit! 

I'm going to go to bed here in a moment, but I seriously don't think I'll get any sleep tonight!

In case some of you didn't get the word yet, here is a repost

Migration 100% completed!

Our move to the SuchPool SSO has been done without any issue!

Come see the new pool at http://SuchPool.pw/drk

All your stats/shares/coins/pending payouts/workers have been restored on the new version! All the pools we will add on this platform will share the same logins, so on new launches you may simply move your miners on our different ports hosted under SuchPool SSO and your coins will be delivered in your accounts!

** YOU WILL NEED TO RE-ENTER YOUR PAYOUT ADDRESSES **

Here is a sneak peak at our new interface! Come and login to see it in operation. If you have no account, it's time to register!


If you notice any issue, or want to make some comments, feel free to drop us an email at support@suchpool.pw! We are there for you!

We would like to thank you all for making this pool one of the Biggest and Greatest Darkcoin pools ever!

Exactly. Masternodes are not meant to be a get rich quick scheme. They can be very profitable over the long term. Right now we have enough for DarkSend to work properly.

There is no rush for people who are not experts in linux, ubuntu, network security, etc to rush to have one set up on day 1 of MN payments.

Eventually I plan on setting up multiple masternodes myself. However I plan to wait until the step by step process has been tested by more people (without the expertise I mention above) to make sure it is completely dummy proof.

I am not naive enough to think there are 0 risks for someone like me to run a masternode. I am sure there are others in my situation who would be well advised to take their time as well (instead of rushing MN setup now just because the total MN count is lower and payments will be higher now than in the future).

Here's something that might help:

1. 15 string encrypted wallets cannot be hacked. Period. So make sure you clear bash and do history -c command.  That's your first line of defence.
2. Install CSF which comes with Login Firewall Daemon (LFD).  Close all your ports except 9999 (and 19999 if you do testnet stuff). Especially close SSH port.
3. Only allow login from your one IP. Even if people discover your login IP, they still need to brute force your server login which will be bounced by LFD after x attempts.
4. Enable 2FA on your VPS.

You should be safe from port scans and external attacks, which leaves you vulnerable only to inside hacks via your VPS (via admin or keylogging attack).  But 2FA should protect you somewhat. Even then they will require a keylogger installed on your MN to crack your encrypted wallet.

You'd have to be very unlucky and security unaware to be hacked.

Its an issue because a lot of people have been having a hard time setting up the cold storage masternode... the wallet still needs to be connected to the masternode during setup and can be in danger if not secured properly.

In theory you are correct that the new system will be MUCH safer. However many people do not have the technical expertise to implement it properly...

If they don't have the technical expertise even to follow the cold wallet masternode setup instructions, they shouldn't be running a masternode.

If you didn't know how to lock your safe, would you store cash in it?

Unfortunately as we have seen, people don't like that advice and refuse to listen to it. At least one person has lost 1000 DRK as a result. My guess is at least 5 more MNs are compromised within the next month.

If we have any critical flaw in DarkSend algorithm, all securing methods would be futile. I suppose we'll see much more steals in the next month.

Darksend do not use 1K for coinjoin.

Holy lol.

[EfterlysT]

Are masternodes launching today?

The masternode payments do yes.

[srwt]

FUD

Darksend do not use 1K for coinjoin.

What do you mean? Darksend is working only on masternodes, isn't it? So they are strongly wired together and therefore I meant not DarkSend alone but a bunch of MNs + DS, OK?

Masternodes perform the coin mixing service of DarkSend which anonymizes transactions. Users get rewarded with 20% of the mining output per block (without actually performing any mining themselves) through a "voting mechanism".
Masternodes require 1000 DRK to be set up as a negative incentive that disallows one party running or controlling too many of them.
In the future Masternodes, or the Masternode-payment system, could possibly be utilized for providing other kind of services, like blockchain hosting for thin-client functionality.

The 1000drk isn't on the masternode. So if someone gets in to the running masternode then they ain't getting shit. Therefor if there is a critical flaw in DarkSend algorithm, all securing methods would not be futile.

So where is it? In my left pocket? 
Stop talking nonsense.

Markets moving again after the last hour's little correction.

812 DRK shot now pushed it within grabbing distance of the sell wall at 20.

[GhostPlayer]

Someone just snatched a node. Well done, congrats!  

 I never expected to be testing 0.02 so soon before the fork!

He's got a valid point. With local/remote setup, the 1k deposit does not sit on the actual Masternode. And yes, you should harden down your Masternode anyways, to prevent a hacker from attempting to manipulate the network.

 I dont get why its nonsense. Its perfect common sense in my book.

Liquidity being hoovered.

Hacks MN --> gets IP --> location --> comes and takes everything away from you.
It's rather pointless. 
How many hours before fork?

As long as you use cold - remote setup there is no risk of loosing.

Here is ip address of bitcoin nodes. 7403 ea.

Are they risked ?

What a nonsense.
