If the number of coins needed for a masternode is raised won't that cause problems later on when the price increases? People will be less likely to have 7500 compared to 5000. Also what's happening with that major exchange integration?
I'm glad to see some active development for this coin though, especially with the subreddit and slack channel to get more people involved

The exchange news are real just to not give them extra headaches we prefer to first update network than get added and few days later give them extra work. If we wanna do HF its best to be done before adding 3rd exchange which is around now.

The deal is sure and i dont think anything can change with small delay - especially delay due to updating the coin.

We are not sure about changing MN numbers - so you guys as community can speak.

there's an obvious balance to be made
masternodes lock coins away from being available for either staking or being used as money. but we need lots !!!

after doing some budget maths on a recent PoS reward in the explorer, it is far more lucrative to run a masternode at the moment.

to make staking more attractive either PoS reward could be made more attractive, or encourage moar masternodes (which will dilute mn rewards) - raising the amount would plausibly make staking moar attractive, but at the cost of less masternodes ?

..
is the memory issue you mention fixing the cause of masternodes stopping?
this will also help increase the number of masternodes.
