I am mining and buying only ZEN at the moment.

Why?

1. Because I was long time holder of darkcoin/DASH from the early beginning and I am recognizing now the very similar situation with ZEN. (you can see my history on btctalk as well from 2014.)

2. Plans for masternodes (MNs) are much more improved in terms to DASH and only 42 coins would be necessary to run them, so I am advising you to buy/mine at least that amount.

3. Since MNs are going to need more resources then DASH MN and only 3.5% will be profit stream distributed to MNs, I am assuming that price must be much higher of a coin in order to sustain the costs.

Example :
Every month around 200 000 new coins are being mined
3.5% from 200 000 coins are going to be distributed to MNs total around 7000 coins
If they plan to have between 1000 to 5000 MNs as a enough security layer then income for future MNs would looks like:

1000 MNs ..... 7 ZEN per MNs per month
3000 MNs ..... 2.33 ZEN per MNs per month
5000 MNs ..... 1.4 ZEN per MNs per month

If we follow DASH path, I am thinking at least 5000 MNs will be put in place to run!
You can calculate yourself what price of ZEN has to be in order to run MN!

My projection is at least 20 USD ... most likely in the first year 50 USD.

Don't miss this great opportunity!

I totally agree man, it's just an interesting idea though that we have to base the master nodes success on a price level to make it worth while. Price targets for profitability are great, but it doesn't sound like a business plan, more like a hurdle. I fully believe in zen and it's ability to make it over the hurdle, and so I'm holding and accumulating like you. It's just that we should be aware that this master node profitability/price range finally gives us a means of valuing a coin as over or under valued.
