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.

It's possible to set up a limit of masternodes which can't be exceeded. And anyway, do you really think there will be thousands of masternodes running at the start ? Usually, when masternodes are implemented on a coin, there are only few hundreds if not less at the beginning and it's only after some months, when the coin increase significatively in price that the demand of masternodes grow accordingly to the demand of coins, mostly because of the masternode's ROI which increase itself with the price of the coin. I can tell you from experience that a masternode at the start is always profitable, no matter what, and if you add to that the future potential price of the coin, which can only go up in this case, then you obtain an even bigger profit. Lastly, most of the masternodes coins have 1000, 10000 and 25000 coins for a masternode. You can see it here : https://masternodes.pro/?sort=roi&view=grid
All the existing masternodes coins aren't listed there but there are the major ones. Compare the supply and the required amount of coins to run a masternode and you should come to the conclusion that 5000-10000 coins for a masternode are enough. 20000-50000 could work well too, but over that would be a mistake in my honest opinion. Nonetheless I'm glad to see different opinions on this subject, I'm always looking to confront my ideas with others to learn and to make the best choices for the projects i support.

i agree 100k for a 70m sup coin is crazy and screams "i will be worth nothing forever" imo
