P2Pool vs Masternodes

P2Pool is basically a decentralized mining pool. This means that using P2Pool doesn't centralize miners in a single pool that would subject it to the risk of a 51% attack. Mining is still important in DarkCoin as it secures the blockchain and transactions. Miners are rewarded with block rewards.

Masternodes are different and they provide Darkcoin's unique benefits like DarkSend (anonymous payments) and InstantX (instant transactions). Masternodes do not secure the blockchain but are paid via masternode rewards.
