@MIP I don't really understand the desire for greater MN payment. We have 3x fewer masternodes now, but the payment frequency has increased. To me, total MN reward amount if you total up every 3 days has not changed meaningfully.
@SEO_Account I don't think anyone expected this as regular practice but probably found out from inadvertently seeing their 1.55M old coin age donated 2.5BBP and got a nice reward for it the next day. MN and PoG reward structure will balance out as more people participate in PoG.
Per masternode it is the same amount of BBP but per 1,500,000 coins it is 1/3rd
The MN lockup used to be 1.5m, and payout 4000-5000, now its 4.5m and payout is 1500-2500.
Yes you receive more rewards at the moment, but its a much smaller in terms of actual return for the coin's locked up
When there were 600 MNs, you got paid every 3 days. Now there are less than 200 masternodes, you can get paid daily.
4k-5k every 3 days, or 1.5k-2.5k every day? According to your calculations, you actually get paid more with a 4.5M masternode on the top end of the range (5k vs 7.5k) if you take a reading every 3 days.
Let me be clear. I'm not opposed to increasing the reward for MN, but if it is due to receiving less than before, the perception seems faulty to me. Run the numbers...
Of course, the analysis only works now because we went from 600 masternodes to <200 masternodes... We still have a buffer of about 15-20 4.5M masternodes needing to come online before the economics don't favor the masternode investors.
Before with 4.5M you make 15k every 3 days now with 4.5m you make 5k every 3 days. That is the complaint, but no one is adding in the extra 40-50k they could make with POG every 3 days. (Obviously this reduces once everyone starts doing it)
edit: also no one is including the cost & time savings of not managing 3x as many VPS instances.
