Question... can this amount go DOWN if the value of the coin does *not* go down ?
I am very interested in setting up a master-node assuming it has limited down-side potential (assuming coin price doesn't crash at least).
If the priced stays where it is, the profit margin of Masternodes would go down as more go online. The more masternodes online, the less coins each one gets.
Keep in mind the MN rewards are only at 20% and will be going to 25% in the next couple days. In 2 more months it will be 50% rewards for the remaining 9 months.
