If one needs 1000 coins to host a Dark/Dash MasterNode then it must limit the growth, particularly as a currency.
But if say the number of coins was changed to 100 then one musty wonder what that would do to the price of Dark/Dash, with so many coins being freed up
It seems to be a delicate course to navigate, but perhaps I'm missing something?
If you adjust the colleteral from 1000 to 100 DASH per MN, in my oppinion that wouldn't lead to "freed" coins, they will just x10 there masternodes, and nothing changes for them (we have 10 times more masternodes but
everyone gets paid a tenth of it also, so if you just use the 1000 drk to open 10 MN nothing realy changes.)
This is also possible. Quoting myself above and leaving out the incendiary P-word
it seems like it should work and proving that it won't is difficult because we don't know the exact mechanism of failure in advance.
Now we see another answer to the question of how honest masternodes might not be profitable (see bold in first quote above).
I'm pretty sure there are other possible outcomes, a list that does not include one where people successfully get a 10% risk free return.
