With the next mandatory, is there going to be another poll on the staking requirement?
Or is everyone happy with how things are currently?
Staking @ 20BBP / RAC is good in general.
I would like to see an exception for small users / new comers up to 500 RAC maxi - where they would have to stake only 1 BBP
This would make it easy to get newcomers onboard.
The more users / supporters / followers we bring in - the better will be the prospects for BBP.
IMO: making multiple accts that have to stay below 500RAC is just not worth the effort - so would not be a workaround to avoid staking.

There is work being done by the GRCPool operator to make a BBP Pool which would eliminate the need for a new user to have stake. Fees are being worked out but likely will be 35% pretty soon, which given the staking requirements seems a bit low to me but a good starting mark.
While I'd like to think that 500 RAC would make it tough to cheat, I bet we'd see a huge increase in users and a lot of just under 500 users magically appear.
I was a proponent of staking per MAG but am in hindsight very happy with the way staking per RAC has worked. I don't think adjusting it at this point would be beneficial to the coin although if our coin valuation were to grow and stabilize at a significant multiple of where we are at now, I think re-evalutation might be warranted for staking and Sanctuary costs.
