Maybe I am missing something but why start another pool when you already had one with the clear result that 2000CBX would be the size preferred from the community?
The result was actually about even between 1k and 2k, however, the majority of votes were placed prior to our determination/explanation that a maximum of 250k CBX could be allocated into BPNs. This fact means there is another variable to consider in this vote as VonSpass explained.
2000 CBX = 125 max BPN
1000 CBX = 250 max BPN
500 CBX = 500 max BPN
250 CBX = 1000 max BPN
The amount to operate a BPN is one factor, however the number of potential operational BPN should also be considered in this decision.
When does voting end for masternode collateral?
This has not been determined but we will give notice before conclusion.
