I cannot see the voting results regarding collateral for a masternode.  Can someone tell me?

Also like other coins that use masternodes, it might make sense for a small % of the income they produce to go to the developers.  Creates a nice positive feedback loop, where the coins are locked up (reducing available supply), devs get $ that can be used to implement more features, helping to drive demand for the coin.

If I had a vote I would vote either 500 or 1k for collateral, at least right now.  Perhaps the collateral could change as supply increases.  But it is best to have a robust network of nodes to ensure the security of the chain.  Dash collateral is 1k and they have 7.4 million coins.  With less than 1 million coins 1k collateral seems quite reasonable.
