So there is a self balancing mechanism which pivots around the number of master nodes locked up which impacts the coin supply, which impacts the price based on demand. Demand is a function of anonymity derived from the strength and utility of the anonymity provided by the network.

Beautiful.

Having an opinion and having that opinion challenged is what moves humanity forward.

Being rude to people who are not rude to your community does nothing but hurt your community and the value of your currency.

An asset class means that you can sell some of the future revenue potential it generates as part of your current sell price.

If there is a limited number of master nodes, you can say, I will sell you my master node for 3 times the current value.  Thats how stocks and investment property work, but only if there is scarcity of supply.

I think crypto is full of too many competing interests.

361 coins on coinmarketcap. All competing. All trying to attract the same money. Mostly trying to FUD each other. Scams are allowed to go unchallenged because so many people use FUD that scammers can hide behind the FUD argument.

The net impact is hardly anyone wins. No new money is attracted. The fiat status quo is maintained.

I'm trying to find a different approach. Look for a group of coins that are credible. Darkcoin seems to fall into the category.

Spend your time working on shaking out the scammers, organise cooperation between those that have no hope (been around for a long time and are down at the bottom) and those that have a chance. Find a way to give incentives to those who must leave their no hope coins behind. Then you can arrange for a smaller group of competitive coins to move forward and either challenge bitcoin or demonstrate sufficient quality to attract new fiat money. That would shift the price above 3

I think this would be my advice to other coins I'm looking at.

Is there a maximum number of master nodes that the network will allow?

If yes, would Master Nodes become an asset class?

When will stealth addresses be ready? Are they in beta or something?
