So guys I am doing a bit of research on dash, I wanted to know that can the masternodes vote to increase the supply of Dash? or will it remain fixed? Also do the developers have the power to increase the supply of dash, I am really interested in Dash, Just want to confirm few things before i jump in.
1) The masternodes could vote to increase the supply of Dash, but in order to implement such a change, the developers would have to create the code. Then the entire network (exchanges, miners, and 90+% of all masternodes) would have to adopt the new code. Such a change would be extremely difficult, probably impossible, to implement. For one, 90+% of the masternodes are unlikely to ever agree.
2) The developers have the power to create code which, if adopted, would increase the supply of Dash. However, the entire network would have to adopt the code (see above).
tl;dr Nobody or group by themselves has the power to increase the supply of Dash. Increasing the supply of Dash would be just as difficult as increasing the supply of Bitcoin, for example. The entire network would have to agree and adopt new code.
