I agree with PTowner that xfuel release is an indirect way of diluting initial shares. the most obvious case to be made is the fact I can use xfuel for part of an XBY node
Regardless how you'd like to word it or justify it, the shares are definitely being indirectly diluted
I get what you are saying I really do and it was my initial concern. But firstly you got to balance that with the project will now be funded properly and we are at such a low MC anyway the potential moves XBY will make eventually is insignificant. But this is what you are missing..
Yes if Xfuel is used fro nodes then it technically can mean more XBY would be in circulation and not in nodes
BUT and this is a big
BUT you got to get your head around. The plan is now to have
MORE nodes i.e. LV3 nodes. So actually in balance the circulating supply long term actually
went down not up. Try to get your head around the fact that XFuel will never be part of XBY supply. All that has happened is
MORE NODES and less
XBY NEEDED for the
MORE NODES. So essentially you just spread XBY across more potentially smaller nodes that are more numerous.
Get back to me with more questions when you get this simple logic.

An even simpler idea. If nodes now IF DESIRED can have a little bit of say another alt coin like DASH or ETH in the node but they made more nodes would that affect the demand for XBY?
Its like saying If another coin comes to the crypto market then it will affect the supply of XBY....nonsense.
thanks for responding.
feel free to word it however you like but it's a dilution. what's stopping someone from breaking down there node at anytime to cashout? I can see you make a debate that if the nodes are somehow locked in then the circulation is lower, if not, there's nothing stopping people from breaking down there nodes and selling as they please.
