I'm mostly reader and occasional writer (I read all this thread until now, but never posted yet).
And I would like to thank
zcoinofficial for his active participation.
I seriously like technology behind and I believe in bright future of that coin. For the time being only one question concerns me the most - how many coins will be necessary for running the Znode? I understand that
Why we cannot provide exact figures as to how many coins you need for a Znode is simply because as you have seen, the price is so fluid and we need to cut a balance between keeping the bar high-ish without making it inaccessible.
But still, for us (at least me) it is important information to decide whenever I'm in or I can't afford it. If you say it will be 500-1000 coins, I will buy the difference and will hold them no matter what happens (that will be my input in support of that great technology - it is risky, but I'm ready to stand for it).
If you say it will be 10000 coins - I don't have enough resources to buy that much, so I will not dream about.
Lets close our eyes on the current price of Zcoin and think of it in terms of percent of total coin supply that community finds fair enough to reserve in Znodes. Will it be 5%, 10%, 50%... And how many nodes we need for quality decentralization? 100, 1000, 5000?
For example, according to coinmarketcap there are 2,310,089 Zcoins, if 10% will be reserved and only 100 nodes are required it makes 2310089*0.1/100 = 2310 Zcoins should be hold by single node.
Anyway, announcing the official figure may help a lot to stabilize the exchange rate and probably pump it up a little bit!
And for potential investors it will help a lot with financial planning.
