What is the maximum amount of MNs available on the system? Is there a limit?
There is no artificial limit like 1440 or something which would centralize the coin to the hands of the rich few.
PS. are you sure you're not one of child harold's puppets?
Though I do agree with you that does drive the price of a coin up. Making it an interesting investment.
Edit: and I don't know who that is.
also the % of blocks going towards MN payments is going up per month which should have an impact on the price as well
Masternodes increase payments
