future notaries should probably operate like mining pools - fixed costs covered, % return to the operator, proportional share per 'vote'

crypto investors don't leave money on the table, especially not 20K USD a month (1 Bil USD MK for komodo) for basically running a complicated masternode minus the personal capital required for other coins like DASH/NEM, and 1 bil MK by december is definitely possible in this bull market.
Game theory says the only way notaries don't start offering voters a rev share to get elected is if they collude, and I don't see that happening under jl777's watch, so it just takes one notary to offer a voter % and the flood gates open to full blown competition, which is what should happen if the market is working properly.
Good operators should still get elected with a premium %, but super profits from mooning KMD should go to the KMD holders, same as for a Dash/NEM masternodes etc
Most notaries are probably big KMD holders anyway.
