Oh, and to address the other question above - the masternode collateral change conversation is happening now in the community.  Nothing to do with Brad - he has to help convey the information.  The joys of marketing!

So today, there were upwards of 30-40 active voices in Discord discussing and chiming in on this topic.  It was a great conversation!  Technical benefits and network efficiency benefits were discovered, as most of the network traffic isn't transactions - but actually masternodes managing their relationships with others.  Which is typical in a global network, but long membership lists and round-trip network latency adds more capacity challenges. 

The network is the largest masternode network on the existing DASH code base-which our DEV team is actively backporting as we speak.

We have a 51% attack solution in place that allows us to work with our exchange partners to prevent a 51% attack theft from vulnerable exchanges.

Increasing collateral has many pros and cons.  The biggest one for us is that we learned that only a fraction of the capacity of our masternode network is being utilized nor could it be with the existing code-base.  This is a poor use of everybody's money and valuable time.  Currently, most masternode holders are paying exorbitant hosting services that are being way underutilized.
