Lol ! Now you're making assumptions. What do you think they've been doing for the last 3 years ?

Masternode reward has ranged from $2000 per week to $50 over the last 3 years and everything in between and you're quaking in your boots at making a 30% protocol share revision that would radically address our bleeding marketcap ? Your logic defies understanding. Stop being obsessed with masternodes - this coin can go to zero with a full compliment of 5000 nodes no problem at all.

Think of miners and masternodes as 2 market stalls selling coins to the public. If one stall can afford to continuously undercut the other all the way to zero and still be at a profit what do you think is going to happen ? They'll simply erode the price chronically. How difficult can this be to understand ?

Now think, what would be the INSTANTANEOUS effect of increasing the mining share back to 80% as described in this post ? A doubling of our mining competitively for a start. We know this because even if it isn't promoted, much mining is simply algo-driven and we'd be doubling the reward for hashrate.

 • What effect would that have ?
 • Increase competition for he primary supply

 • What effect would that have ?
 • Invoke a speculative pricing in of the future value of the new supply

 • What effect would that have ?
 • Increase the dollar value of masternode rewards

 • What effect would that have ?
 • Increase demand for masternodes

 • What effect would that have ?
 • Start to make us competitive again

 • What effect would that have ?
 • Throw the chornic marketcap erosion we've experienced over the last 3 years into reverse and stabilise our store-of-value offering

We need to break the viscous circle that non-performing masternode rewards are having and this would do it. People are obsessed with the protocol share and this 45%. Forget it. It's meaningless. The market decides what the reward is. We need t ogive the market what it wants, not the masternodes what they think they want.
