The Zelcash master node amount will be voted upon by the community in the future. There is currently no master node amount currently. Be on lookout for a community vote in the future for that. The Dev team stated in an online YouTube video that they wanted to have a large amount of master nodes in total, however the total cost would need to be large enough to make holders serious about running a master node though Zelcash.
The development team occasionally has online live meetings which are posted on YouTube. They are useful in determining the potential of the project.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCphbdfb1MXYgUPsdhQPcnGwMy guess which really doesn't hold for much but its a good guess i suppose , is that it will be 20,000 zelcash for 1 masternode.
This all depends on a few important key factors.
If at the time of the master node release Zelcash goes from 2.5 cents a share upwards to 10 cents per share the amount of Zelcash required would drop considerably.
I belive the next big step is gaining access to a more reputable exchange so watch out for that.
Also we will need to see if the team is able to continue pressing forward with their road map and accomplishing their goals.
All the best of luck to Scribbles and his group and lets see this project and network increase in the future.
