I will try to help out here also...
First, the link you are using for STaTiC list was stopped after the 50K block and it shows 492,
not 429 STaTiCs. However, this is no long accurate and you can see the accurate count at this URL:
http://borzalom.hu/static-list-updated.htmlThe original STaTiC deposit amount was
decided by the Community and there is nothing unfair about this. The people who recognized there was something special here had the vision to invest their money into the future of something they decided to believe in. We heavily and I mean HEAVILY promoted this opportunity on both the exchanges we were on at the time and also here on the forum and also on Slack.
There was nothing secretive about this opportunity to set up a STaTiC node. In the future, another opportunity to make XBY deposits on smaller sized nodes will come and this has been revealed so that future investors can prepare themselves by buying up XBY in the dips with the amount of funds they have available.
Again, nothing unfair about this and in fact this is done in the interest of fairness. We also will be putting some opportunities in place to give others the liberty or chance to own the broken or additional Level 1 STaTiC nodes that will bring the total to 512. How we do this has not yet been decided, but we will do this in the most fair way possible and in a way that ensures further decentralization and this will be decided by vote once we are ready to move forward.
As far as unlimited nodes goes, this is not something that we can offer because we do not have unlimited coins.
The reason why the required deposit of 500k XBY was needed is for the TRUST factor. Having thousands or millions of little nodes that are easily broken and replaced does not create TRUST. XtraBYtes is a new technology in development and therefore we ask that people not compare how we do things to how other coins do things. What may work for them may not work for us and until the full tech has been revealed, it will not be possible to make any sort of comparisons.
Thank you for understanding and we look forward to seeing you as part of the XtraBYtes Community Corporation
First thank you CCRevolution for trying to explain my questions, I appreciate that!
But I still can't agree !

This decision was made by the early investiors, right?
And of course, these investors decided for this plan, who wouldnt do that?!
What is fair about this decision when you are deciding for your own profit by knowing that the investors in the future won't have the chance to get into the same club!
They get a node for tiny money and now they can earn money without any work and nobody else can take it away from them? very good decision imo!
I know that there was a lot of work for promoting, but in every community, there are people who helping to promote the Coin at the beginning and most of the time they getting free coins for that job!
And these people know that if they are successful with the promotion the price will increase and they will be rich and because of that they are doing this job.
But getting a node for ever, come on that is way too much!
As far as unlimited nodes goes, this is not something that we can offer because we do not have unlimited coins.
I am not talking about unlimited nodes! It was the right choice to set 500k Coins as a requirement.
With this requirement, there can't be unlimited nodes.
In the NEM blockchain for example you need 3 million Coins, but except that there is no limitation and everybody is equal in the system.
The early investors bought a node for a cheap price, and the present investors must pay a lot more.
This is how this has to be done !
I am sorry, but I am not going to be part of this community until it is a VIP Club where a handful people getting rich by doing nothing.
And this important decision was made in the past by the same people.
This is not a Coin for everybody, because not everybody has the same chance to get in and that is really a worse example for a crypto coin!
I am really sad to tell you this, because I really like the idea of the blockchain and it took me 3 days for doing some research.
I hope you will see that this is really not a fair distribution and hopefully you will change this soon!
i personally think it's a good opportunity, because if big investors see good profit being made, they are more than likely to seek to buy them out increasing the value, therefore loads of upwards potential.
