Not if you register a delegate early. The 10K delegate fee is part of the transaction fee reward system, and is divided among the top 101 forging delegates. So each delegate earns 90XCR for each new delegate that is registered. If you are a top 101 delegate, and 111 other delegates are registered, you have earned your registration fee back already, not even counting other trans fees earned.
OK. It makes sense. Can you point to me the place where I can find how to register to become a delegate?
Additionally the delegates will be run by the most honest and reputable persons. Some small fish, who is new in Crypti, will likely not get enough votes. In the future being a delegate is a great responsibility and will probably give you a nice steady income. So there will probably be a big fight for these positions.
