How well have you secured your server? Try typing in history and see what you get also try ps -ef | grep darkcoind

Yes, from what I have read you need both on at the same time 24/7. I got a second VPS for the other node. A tiny VPS is cheap especially compared to losing 1,000 DRK.

Don't keep your coins on your MasterNode - you are asking for a mugging. Remote start your MasterNode https://darkcointalk.org/threads/remote-masternode-guide.410/

and while I'm at it I've found repeat offenders from my fail2ban logs so put in http://whyscream.net/wiki/index.php/Fail2ban_monitoring_Fail2ban

Another tip is to harden with bastille - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BastilleLinux After that try some penetration testing to make sure everything looks good.

Sounds like a good config, but if darkcoind was compromised then the attacker would have root access and own your server. Your coins should be safe as long as you have not introduced pathways to your other server with the coins on. By this I mean you have not put your other server in /etc/hosts...

All software has its flaws and we are always applying security updates to fix them, however, this is after the event of someone having something bad happen to them and reporting it and a security update being issued. We need to prepare for the event of darkcoind having a security flaw and...

I think it's great that you are putting some time and effort into this guide to help out others. My only concern is that you are giving people an insecure server and has a high chance of the wallet being stolen. I can see you intend to include hardening the server later but you should be...

The hacker will only know the IP address of the Master Node. If you had two virtual servers on the one physical box then that should be OK as they should not be able to find out the IP address of the physical box or other virtual server - assuming you had configured it that way. There is a...

You don't need to do any of the above but each provides an extra layer of security. You can host the wallet and 1,000+ coins on the same server but if it gets compromised then you are relying on the wallet encryption to protect your coins. If a hacker got your wallet then they would no doubt try...

Make sure darkcoind is running as a non-privileged user. Prevent root from logging in with ssh. Your already probably covered for this but just an extra precaution. Have your coins on a different VPS and start your Masternode remotely via this other VPS. Work through...

I presume you are keeping the wallet on your PC on 24/7 for this to work properly. I'm not sure of how much chatter is done between the MN and your remote wallet client? I started to do this but then put it on a second VPS so that if I get internet / power issues then my MN will stay online and...

I've set up my MN and everything looks good and appears in the list at http://drk.poolhash.org/masternode.html I'm trying to find out if its been voted for and so far just looked through each block at http://explorer.darkcoin.io/ and seeing if mine has been voted for - not seen anything yet...
