Let's look at this a different way. Let's say I go to Prestonwood Baptist church, and I say to people, "Hey why don't ya'll buy some biblepay that I'm mining. It will help support orphans." They might ask,"Are you buying it?" I'd have to say, "No, I'm just mining the pea-wodding out of it. It has a limited supply, but so do the other 1550 and increasing other coins available." They would feel like suckers being taken advantage of.
But! If we have stake based on RAC, and I say to people, "Hey why don't ya'll buy some biblepay that I'm mining. It will help support orphans." And they ask,"Are you buying it?" I have to say, "Yes! For every computer I add that does crunching, I have to either hold or buy biblepay." (With magnitude based staking, the amount I have to stake should decrease as the network grows: MAGSHARE=MAG/USERBASE as user base expands, my share of the MAG becomes smaller.) Then they might say, "Oh, it sounds like a good idea if you are buying and holding right alongside me, even though I'm not that interested in crunching." And I could say, "Yep, go for it!"
Honestly I think either will work, RAC or magnitude. I just like magnitude because it scales with the network size. But either or will do for me.
The simplest way I look at is, Do you want a static aggregate stake amount or a growing stake amount? Unless I missed something Total MAG always is 1000. So 1000*50000=50 million. Always, even when supply is 3 Billion. For RAC our current RAC is 1.3M So if we do 20 BBP per RAC that is 26 million lockup. If we have a 10 million RAC with x larger supply that is a 200 million lockup. Woo-hoo! We just engineered ourselves higher prices at a fraction of the cost of a masternode, important especially when masternodes become unaffordable. It is important to consistently seek some way to keep mopping up supply. This coin has a lot of supply on the front end. It will take time for the supply to consolidate. If bitcoin goes way up, we will still have a high effusion rate, people won't be able to afford to buy as much biblepay. If we keep growing the stake amount with the RAC of the network, we do something to give buyers confidence that the coin won't collapse. Buyers are the ones who truly support the orphans, not miners and crunchers.
Even when the exchanges are out of maintenance, take some time to read the tape when the prices suddenly go up. Prices go up by surprise because liquidity dried up and people are willing to pay higher and higher prices. They take out those standing limit offers. Then the miners start to come in when they realize prices just got higher. At first, they put out limits on the offer. When those stop getting hit, they start to get desperate and start hitting the bid, soaking up liquidity the other way. Then prices come back down. It would help to have a consistent way to soak up supply and we would engineer higher prices much in the way companies buy back their own stock. Miners are part of the company. Miners accumulating bbp as the network grows helps prices to appreciate.
For reference the current masternode lockup has 262 million bpp. And since the start of masternodes we are consistently 20 or more satoshi higher. So more lockup should mean higher prices, and more orphans supported. A win for everybody.
