Under 2000 would make more sense.
This confuses me a bit because you have presented no argument.
Just wondering why you think it would make more sense??
Just curious
I agree with 10,000 being a lot, and I have mentioned that before.
The collateral is very high (we are talking $50,000+ at current prices), and I fear there will be not enough masternodes, at least not in the beginning.
The Whitepaper says "Diamond Network is projected to have just a couple of hundred of such nodes running", which doesn't really make sense. With the current supply of coins, only 210 MN are even physically possible, and obviously it will be much less.
I hope I will be proven wrong, but I predict less than 10 MN in the short term.
EDIT: too few MN also poses problems with POS rewards. Assuming 10 MN, one MN earns more than 35,000 DMD in a year
EDIT2: which begs the question, is there a plan what happens if there are not enough MN?
