Didn't realize that 20k was also the max number of coins in a node. Why would some of the coins be staked in wallets? What is the purpose of a user paying the team to do something they can do themselves?
The new thing being discussed on slack is "hosted masternodes". I'm sure it's a solid uber-trustworthy service and there is nothing that could possibly go wrong with that. /s
A "hosted masternode" will basically be the new Hashstaker. I wonder what the PNG for it will look like.
