This coin already has a problem of too many coins after PoW finished and the 3% interest year is too high. Needs to be reduced down to 0.001% or lower for it to have a chance of being worth more then litoshis
I can not imagine then what you may think of CitizenCoin, 935m and a 35% annual interest.
IMHO, with the 0.001% per annum simply people would forget this currency.
Regading to the excessive amount of coins, I have a question,
in the field of crypto currencies, someone has already tried a
mandatory change operation similar to the one made in the 60s
in France from old francs to new francs (100 -> 1)?
Regarding to your idea of "renting" a number of nodes to keep the
network alive, imho, this is a solution that would work, but
personally I do not like very much [1].
Your idea should be discussed better, for example, the fund needed to pay
the rent could be obtained automatically with a kind of "restraint" on
POS interest, as was done with the "Stake for Charity" of HoboNickels, but
not voluntary, but fix, firmly intended to support the network, providing
in this manner a fair and long-lasting source of funding.
Nor is there a big pre-eminent, which soon after launch you no longer
have any control (and dumped), but a kind of source that lives and grows
only _if_ it also does the coin, it seems to me much more fair and acceptable.

I fear that a few node rent solution, could make the cryptocurrency
too centralized, which instead are born to be decentralized.
On the contrary, I'd like a system that remunerated more active nodes (in rotation),
not based on how powerful is their machine (POW) or possess (POS), but just based
on their active persistence in the network, imho this would push all user to maintain
an alive network.
(And more the network is weak, more the reward become convenient)
I do not know if something like this has been tried, and the
consequences have already been assessed, but if it as to develop ...
I think it *here* is not the case.
PS:
"Small" correction.
Although I think that would be a fair reward system, however, I realized that could expose
the coin to hijack attempts on the part of a bot-net, consisting of a multitude of many small nodes.
