How will they control the number of masternodes if there becomes too many?
Guessing it will be first in first serve but don't know how that could be regulated.
Double MN reward to 40%.

But wouldn't raising reward increase node count? Smiley

I wouldn't raise the reward.. I think much more and miners will revolt.

I agree. I mine and run nodes, 80/20 is a good split. And everyone bitching about '500 MNs isn't decentralised!' should dwell for a moment on pools vs p2pool and shift their rigs to p2pool. In fact I would be VERY happy to see some kind of incentive to increase p2pool adoption beyond the obvious one that it makes the currency more resilient and is in everyone's interest anyway.

And the number of possible masternodes is limited to total minted coins/1000, so ~4300 theoretical max MNs about now. (Assuming the 1000DRK requirement remains the same) - I think we'll settle at about a thousand, which in terms of ROI is still bloody fantastic by most investment standards.
