Hi all,
I am with PIE from reboot and I think the ideal amount of PIE for MN would be 20-100k. The 100k right now is worth around $600, still very accessible, if we can lock up half of supply into MN (90/2=45mil=450MN) that would secure the network and with staking there's no initial need to more MN for networking needs. Devs please correct me if I am wrong. But 400 hundred sounds like a great number for decentralisation and security.
With more than half of supply locked in MN the coin would get very stable layer of investors. The price will be also stabilised as MN holder are less likely to sell during turmoils, if MN are profitable to run in long run. The problem with small amount of PIE for MN is - less rewards for MN holders, users are more likely to break MN, also it will be lacking exclusivity.
Also there can be two levels of MN if the network would need / could use that.
