How is the price an issue? It hasn't been with Dash, as far as I know Wink

If masternodes are too easy to afford, people are gonna host them on shitty unstable machines and it will harm the network.

We don't need people who are in for a "quick buck", but people who will keep the network strong...

The initial goal concerning the required collateral was to be "accessible" and yet "not too easy to get". No doubt that limit is hard to define, though..

And let's not forget to consider the total supply VS max number of masternodes. The max supply is pretty high, don't forget about it!

Hi, what is describe as not shitty machines or maybe any requirements on the masternodes? any specific to uPlexa? or is it same as other crypto MN?
My intention is to own MN but needed further info as to prepare ahead before jumping in. Undecided

As far as preparation is concerned, the only way to go is...to wait for further announcements from the team. They for sure will have it tested out thoroughly, and they'll be the ones to tell the requirements to host a masternode. As long as IoT stays a focus, we can still assume that what I call "shitty computer" will probably be able to host a masternode. Which is probably gonna be a potential weakness for the network.

What am I calling "shitty computer"? Something old and slow, old CPU with little memory (512 Mb?), slow harddisk...

But it all depends on how the masternodes are coded: if they demand little from each node, and there are lots of nodes in the network, everything should be okay, even with "shitty" computers. Once again, let's trust the team to make the best choices there
