Whitepaper says 2mil LINDA for Masternode (website says 30mil).
At the current price, that is $20k.
The steak is way too high for a "new" coin like this. I suspect there won't be enough masternodes in the future for the network to actually be healthy.
Also, here's something very funny. The Linda master node has an IRC client (supposedly for Preseeding?), so if you run it, you probably end up being a part of a botnet (tough the server it tries to connect to is dead):
