Thanks mate. Although I obviously didn't have a secure set up.
I'm just piecing things together but I think I just fell prey to a fairly simple trojan/keylogger. The only reason I didn't lose the contents of all of my wallets is the fact that I had unique passphrases for all but the two that shared the same passphrase. My AV says that it quarantined the file but that wasn't until after my BTC were stolen.
I'm not going to go into details on here but I'll be relocating my masternode wallets to an alternative and more appropriate location than a windows PC and insisting on using a unique passphrase for each one.
I'm licking my wounds but I'll be back. I have an expensive few months coming up so I doubt I'll be able to spend any FIAT on darkcoin for a while but I'm going to see if I can earn as many bounties as possible and sell some "spare possessions" to see if I can make up for the loss.
I thought I was paranoid, but I always reinstall Windows AND use an alternate internet connection every time I have to bring my wallet online to update MN's. It's also possible to unlock the wallet offline, delete from console, then connect internet, then (re)start the masternode without using the password. Not sure if that's any safer, but the OS wipe is probably the most important. Good luck going forward

5700 buywall on cryptsy
edit: otoh, can't you get enough drk? Not me, though I was hoping to top up some under 0.006, seems will just have to earn them with MNs, back now at location 1 and about to start firing a few up... Currently MN = 1,468 So ~1550 MNs within a day Well Total Masternodes: 1486 (~20% done)

How about just getting a respberry PI for masternodes only and keep it offline?

What about implementing something like fibre lock on the fibre wallet? Instead of typing a passphrase you use the mouse to unlock the wallet almost like the android swipe pattern on cellphones.

Darkwallet is the simplest of all cryptomonedas, where operating darksend the darkwallet should be reviewed

I'm plenty interested at .003 if you want to take a big dump.
Play it safe, god knows what will happen with the price the way things are. PM.
Don't sell them to coins101. Sell them to me at 0.00301 I'll sell my house to buy at 0.00302 now offering 0.003035 for big dumps

I 've got one for the purpose of trying this out but have been sidetracked! Would be sweet to have your masternodes on a microsd card. Someone said that those cards have some increased chance of corrupting so it would be a good a idea to have multiple copies.

You knew it was a potential P&D....how far did you go above 1 BTC? I had 4 BTC in it in total. The IPO launched at 280 sats (which I realised was $1 million cap and overvalued) but the massive uptake towards the end provoked me into putting more in which was clearly the whole idea. It initially rose to about 310 but then started collapsing - which was obviously the insiders taking profits. By that time I had 2.5 BTC in it. Then when it got to 120 I put another 1 BTC in and at 88 another 0.5 thinking it couldn't possibly go any lower and I'd be eveing out my losses given that development work was in process. What I liked about it was that it targeted a very specific function (like DRK) and looked like being at least organised enough to to get off the ground. Then the political temperature started reaching fever pitch and the dev finally conceded that there was something "dodgy" about the IPO but I don't know whether he was actually just a victim in it all as well or how much he knew up front. He's back working on the project now (at least by his own testimony) and I've no idea where it will go. So I'm 4 BTC down. It won't kill me but an interesting learning experience where my charts were kind of not very effective

the twitter pics of flash cars and bottles of bubbly were signs of scam artist. I saw those pics months ago and just ignored anything he posted Great call. I don't know what got into me. I need crypto rehab.

I wanted to put 10 BTC in xrp about 6 weeks ago (and then again last week). What a turd I am for giving it a miss because of the extra printing of coins they made.
