ZenCash has a few strengths. It has committed devs - that hasn't shown through the last fortnight because of the nightmare resulting from one individual's conduct - but over months it should show through. Masternodes also should definitely offer support for price increase, although my view is the number of coins required to be held needs to be higher than the 42 so far suggested to effectively support price.
Zcash has lots of support, and also a great developer team. At about $400 a coin though, my view is that ship has already sailed - I personally would find it higher risk to invest in Zcash at $400 versus ZenCash at around $8.80. Zcash could spike some more, it could even double, but in my view it's got more room to crash too. I expect ZenCash to stabilise and rise slowly over the short term - when incentivised nodes come in or other developments, that's when I see it rising faster.
Please increase the Masternodes coin requirement to 100-200.
Since the Masternodes "limit" is 1000, it makes sense.
At $200/Zen each Masternode will cost $20,000(100),$40,000(200). Seems reasonable considering the current price of a DASH Masternode($175,000~).
i might be wrong but from what i recall seeing in white paper the 1000 secured nodes was not a limit but what the devs wanted to have soon after launch , dont think thers a limit . making a limit doesnt make sense anyway since market will decide when thers enough nodes on its own . the only point in making big coin minimums like 100-200 or more for a secured nodes is to make money for the select few who can afford it , (ponzi scams) kinda what i consider dash / pivx and the likes are , imo.
