RE: TAO'S STEEM ON DASH | A Sophisticated Interface To A Powerful Decentralized Network
How many masternodes will there be in the long run. Will there be hundreds of thousands? The monero guys see masternodes as a weakness but if there are lots of them.....
The max Masternode count would be coin supply divided by 1000. However, this is an extremely unlikely scenario because as you approach the limit, the cost per Dash would become prohibitively expensive. Dash's nodes are decentralized, they are not a point of failure. Taking out a node in one location would simply result in another being established elsewhere.
What if Us and allies shut down 50 percent of them if they didn't support some government initiative. I would think you need 20-50k nodes to prevent this from being an issue but that would require too many coins. Maybe the masternodes coin commitment needs to come down.
