right now everything is very discouraging and the network don't look safe or even serious, blockpool network is full of dead nodes and blockpool genesis nodes, even it already included some people have 5 to 10 nodes each. they even stupid enough to make it a 201 nodes platform instead of just 21 seen it don't give much reward and have any competition to run/keep the node up.
Our business model is designed to reward existing delegates using a queuing system for each new sidechain that comes online.
The advantage of being a delegate now will bear much more fruit medium term.
Unlike many projects in Crypto we have a solid business plan that should ensure longevity over the coming years.
All the decisions around the specification were carefully thought through and have solid business reasons. Several pools have started taking advantage of the potential long term gains who i'm assuming researched the project thoroughly.
As ever, do your own research before deciding on your plans.
