You guys have to think for future, if the scoreprice increasing, then 10k will be still affordable for most people. so , i still believe in 10k price for masternodes, because i dont see a reasonable argument to not have it at 10k.
I like 10k people will get butt hurt over it being too cheap but the low barrier of entry will work itself out when the market is snagging up SCORE for masternode's left and right especially with how cheap the price is now. I personally plan to host 4 nodes myself on a few PI's lying around. Just make the payout big enough for masternode holders and SCORE's value in the marketplace will be backed by the masternodes alone leaving you free to take the coin in whatever direction you feel like it needs to go to continue to make it even more valuable. Masternodes are just the beginning who cares if everyone has one thats good for the network less centralization is always a bonus the reward may go down but I'm willing to bet the price per SCORE will certainly go up.
