does that mean you need to have 100K token to have a masternode?
Yes
That's a pretty steep price, even with the significantly reduced rates -- for a retail investor, that is.
Right, I don't think the price was designed with retail investor in mind though. Stu mentioned in the chat they pretty much want investors that are in it for the long haul, and not the investor that could hop in and out. I think the idea was the commercial investor.
Does it work in a similar way to Lisk, were you have to have a large amount of coins to forge/stake but you can earn rewards by holding coins and voting for delegates from you wallet?
