Everyone mining ZEN, it looks like the miners are about to get screwed big time as more of the block reward gets diverted to shady "supernodes" and "securenodes":

I'm giving some serious think [sic] as to whether I want to continue mining this coin now.



Well if you have 43 coins, it's time for a node !

.... and 600 coins for a Supernode!

I saw 500 !?

Yeah, both of them are wrong...  Tongue You need 42 ZEN for a secure node and 500 ZEN for a super node.

Also, these changes are slated to go into effect in late Q3 of this year, so plenty of time to keep mining. I definitely won't continue once an effective 30% tax is in place, however (ie - only 70% of each mined block will be paid out to miners).
