Before we start we value KMD at 0 $.
Good image for investors before the delivery of KMD valued at 0 $.
At a minimum, these KMDs should be valued at the price of ICO. 100% subsidy does not mean $ 500 spending.
1btc = 10000 KMD ICO price use this for elections too
Thanks
We simply guarantee a subsidy for the notary node, so that they stay in operation. Without a guaranteed income we could lose notary nodes if the KMD block reward would not be enough to cover their expenses. $500 is enough to cover all the expenses.
We discussed this in Slack, see:
