Just wondering after seeing rich list again
http://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-darkcoin-addresses-2.html1/ There are only 921 adresses with 1,000 DRK or more. Only 200 with 2,000 DRK or more.
An address can have many multiple of 1,000 DRKs, but we can expect that most of Darcoiners with more than 2K have already set up their Masternodes ! It would be interesting to know what kind of investors are contracting Ghostplayer or ozziecoin now to help them setting up a MN (1 MN max or still 5 MN in an row)
So can we conclude there will be no more than 1,000 Masternodes in 2 months, and will hardly increase now ?
Except if something like a pool exist. And not sure it will be really used, because only 14% of DRKs left, and whales are still accumulating each day. 14% is something like 500 000 coins, and they are used for trading or speculating, so it will be unlikely to reach 100 MN more with a "pool" program.
2/ Is there a plan to consider MN like a "Token", an "asset" we could trade like Ghask on cex.io or in Nxt and Counterparty Assets Exchanges ?
My point is If MN are earning 25%/year (replace if incorrect), it could become one of the best investment outside cryptoland.
You can easilly beat 25%/year with trading, so we are not talking about cryptotraders rushing to acquire MN, but you can't either beat a 25%/year in a program, speculation apart.
You would argue that the variable is the volatility but with 86% of the coins owning to whales and little by little blocked in MN, i don't expect anything expect a steady rise.
There are hundreds of millions injected in online HYIP program, most of them still attracting people with other forms of "anon" payments (egopay...). The ROI from MN is better than HYIP programm ones. Most of them are although scam and ponzi, unlike DRK MN which are tangible assets ! Furthermore, it is not day-trading, you have nothing to do and you can easily pay someone to update - if needed.
You are not giving your money to someone else, you are not risking your capital. You are not buying miners instead which can be obsolete.
And we are sure there will be other uses and more earnings, like fees on a darkmarket, etc.
You even can mine with the VPS.
The only requisite to attract online investors inside and outside cryptoland would be to treat MN as an asset, with a very clear online program, like Cex.io with hashrates.
Evan has found the new way to incentive people to pay and set up servers, with unlimited opportunities and earnings.
The value of DRK is not in anon. features, neither in RC3-4-X news, but in this proof of service, and DRK is far ahead from clones on that point. No clone has seen this, they are still trying to find anon.features...
Excellent post.
I agree, I think about 1000 MNs is where we'll end up, assuming the current model remains, which will be roughly 0.5DRK/MN/day or roughly 18% ROI annually just from Service Infrastructure Reward, that's SIR to you...
Add in some other MN services and it's potentially much more. What other MN services? Well, think of anything that would benefit from decentralised secure private comms. The MN network could basically rival TOR for anonymity but beat the pants off it in speed... and anyone moaning that 1000 MNs does not constitute 'decentralised' needs to remember that the model and protocol are extensible...
