Setting up DRK Master Nodes ..
First you'll need to buy/mine 1000 DRK ~$3,000.00 to buy
Here's a rough calculation of DRK Master Node income potential ..
Masternode revenue calculation. (EDIT: are we at 37,5% already?)
There are 576 blocks mined per day. Each block rewards a minimum of 5 DRKs (probably will never go up)
Right now, MN's earn 35% of each block, so from those 5 DRKs = 3,25 go to miners + 1,75 to MN's
576 blocks per day, so each day (576*5 = 2880 * 0,35) = 1008 DRK for MN's.
There are currently around 1917 active masternodes according to QT (probably more, many people updating)
So 1008 DRK / 1917 MN = 0,582 DRK per node, per day... but you only get payed in blocks of 1,75 DRKs.
So you can expect (1,75 / 0,5852 ) one payment of 1,75 DRK every 2,99 days.
This is right now, but soon the MN cut will increase. So please feel free to recalculate these values based on number of active MN and the following roadmap
A couple of folks offer DRK Master Node set up services and/or tutorials

ownership interests in DRK Master Nodes ..
Sounds like something for the NXT Asset Exchange..
