I remember Duffiel and then Taylor discussing the allocation of master nodes, and almost always the idea came out that over time the generous and seemingly "free" allocation would end up being payment for performing complex functions for the network.

We all remember when it was stated that in the last stage of "evolution" powerful computers with a very good connection to the network would be needed, since they would provide very diverse services such as "decentralized cloud" and many other things.

At the moment we have hardly changed anything from the beginning, and the nodes charge for simply paying a server and making some changes from time to time. I accept that just because of the work the assignment became a lot. But if Dash continues to fall in capitalization, that allocation could even be slim if more value isn't added to the network.

I don't think mining will be the problem in the future, nor will masternodes... the problem is that what had to be on the table more than three years ago is not being delivered. If the Dash platform is really to attract people, possibly the allocation of the master nodes is more in line with their work and future cost.

All the best
