Masternodes only really make sense for PoW coins as a way to pay the users that run Full Nodes a % of the miner's reward.
All ZEIT wallets are Full Nodes (No ASICS), so really no point for us to add it.
After the Switch to Ultra Low Interest, the Proof of Stake primary use is to secure the chain and allow the staked block to receive transaction fees.
ZEIT Full Nodes will profit mainly by processing transactions.
(Unlike BTC where Full Nodes receive nothing, their will be Direct Incentive to Run a ZEIT Node.)
FYI:
Requirement of Knighthood Show a Massive Support for ZEIT ,
There will only be a max of 300 Knights Worldwide, it will be a title earned & held by the rare few.
Lowering the requirements would Diminish the efforts of our resolve.
It may be we go a year or so without New Knights, that is up to fate to decide.
Becoming & Staying a Knight shows the Strength of Will to Persevere thru any Storm.
I get the part that we're a full node already. What I don't get is why we don't have increased rewards for having, say 100m zeitcoin in the wallet while running a full node.
DASH, for example, requires 1000 units to earn what amounts to something like 11-18% interest, and that seems to be working out really well. And the purpose of having this node is to act as an annonymizer and process stuff. Now we don't have to anonymize anything, but having 100m coins per node securing the network all the time is better than 3m coins. So if we gave a 1% annualized interest rate for having 100m coins, then you'd have a buyer's incentive, and an incentive to save.
Or am I missing something here?
