How's the debate going? I've been busy getting people into the Dark.....
It's an uphill struggle Tao, but so far none of the dinosaurs have credibly justified why they're 4x as valuable as the upstart mammals.
Thats just an ignorant comment.
we are all on the same side here and want to see dark succeed
There are problems with a PoW system and there are many unknowns about this masternode system and likely it has its own problems that need to be discussed and worked out
you may not be wrong but you will not convince anyone with that attitude towards the miners that got you here in the first place
Pardon me if I don't subscribe your your religious belief that miners have a god-given right to slurp from the cosmic money hose forever when technologically superior solutions come along and offer greater security and innovation for a fraction of the price.

So you just want the miners to receive less, but not disappear totally, right?
It's a deception argument...
Miners cash out and put sell pressure on the coin decreasing it's value. It's their own fault. But, they're dumb animals, you can't teach them. You can only use them with a paradoxical ruleset; make them into useful idiots.
Fewer coins in supply == greater value for those coins. The miners never get less, they just use that lie to back up their selfish, blind, stupid greed. Many of them probably even believe it. Let them sell their mining rigs to smarter people. I love crypto because no one can really prey on anyone else. Only the stupid killing themselves and the smart picking their corpses clean. You hear the same argument from stupid traders who get mad when smart people buy whent here is blood in the streets... I didn't force any of the dumbshits to sell me their coins... I'm not a predator, I'm just bettering myself even as I do everytihng in my power to stop them from letting me... I do everything I can to help people learn, to teach them... But they're so stupid they fill my wallet anyway, then get mad at me... Hey, 99%, stop being idiots! That's all it takes! It's not my fault you keep throwing away your futures! I'm trying to stop you and you still do it!
