@GSYTeam:
I kindly request that you reconsider making the Skynode collateral significantly larger.
For example: at 1000 GSY per Skynode, with just 10% of the current supply locked in Skynodes, we're talking of about a potential 160 Skynodes. Just for completeness of the example: with 100% of the current supply locked in Skynodes, the potential maximum would be for 1600 Skynodes today (on the same 1000 GSY collateral). At these rates, the current daily coin generation allows for another Skynode every ~ day and a half.
My gripe with a tiny collateral (such as 200 GSY), is that it places a premium reward and network relevance, within reach of uninterested parties (less than 2 USD worth of collateral commitment to run a node). Someone can control of very significant amount of Skynodes, spending literally peanuts to reach that position.
This is a risk vector, and it is implicitly counteracted by making the collateral large enough that any Skynode is economically incentivized to act honestly.
Perhaps a community vote would be reasonable? I'm not suggesting that the community decides, just that votes are expressed so that you take them into account towards whatever decision you ultimately take.
My suggestions would be 1000 GSY (absolute minimum), though I would much prefer a neat and round 5000 GSY. Could you please start a pool using these or any other input values so that the community would express their preference?
Thanks!
Ok. The 200 GSY is to prevent some heavy falls of the price in months coming. The current GSY price on these low Exchanges should not be considered - we want people
to sell to new comers because there will be a lot of needs and interests once we get ConFront launched and once Genesys Arena is ready and ...etc
the POS rewards will be halved to a final payout of 0.25 GSY in ~6 months coming (a mandatory update will be made soon). So we think if right now Skynodes are only 200 GSY, there will be no need to hardfork and reduce the collateral in the future when the price is High at a certain important amount (we are looking into this in ~in a year or so) and it will help spread the coins and get it stable steps by steps each month. Not many will keep running their Skynodes and Im sure it will be difficult for someone to control the Skynodes network since currently any can just set up as much as they want. Also do not forget that Genesys can easily reach a Huge users base (Users from everywhere in the world). The ideas we have for marketing and additional features for ConFront and others, are totally enough to bring a Huge Interests in this project in few months coming.
The other solution we had is to halve the collateral (same with the Fees for services) every step when the price raise like from 0.00001000 to 0.0001 to 0.001 to .....etc.
but this will need Hardforks for the Skynodes (and no one like Hardforks).
Anyway, we are open to suggestion and if the Community want a certain amount for the Skynodes collateral, we will go for it. But please read why we chose 200GSY
you may understand why or you may correct us if it is still wrong. Thank you!
Edit: With the 200GSY, Skynodes (masternodes) will still be affordable in the future. But community suggestions are welcome. We will consider anything if more people
vote for it.
