So if we have max 1000 MNs and every minute some MN gets its payment,
this means that in 1000 minutes on average all MNs recieve a payment.

But spreadcoin has on average 1440 blocks a day,

so here's an idea?

Why not make the max amount of MNs be 1440?

This way every MN would on average recieve 1 payment every day.

Sounds good?

Actually I wanted to set it to something like 1500 but 1440 looks more reasonable now.
Block are generated each minute, masternode gets payment each day, easy to remember.

I got a few to spare MemoryShock - mined two blocks last night, give me your address and I can top you off :-)

Appreciate the offer; I went to bed after that post...; )

Already have them and MN created...though I see payments testing has already started!

So we now see it's working. What about the portion received - 1.97 will be received by any MN neverthless how many SPR are put into the MN ? What is the deal here ? How to calculate the portion received by MN with 100SPR and one with 1000SPR ?

You get the same payment regardless of how many SPR is in your MN.

Then what is the point to create MN with 5000 SPR but not with 100SPR ? Can you give an explanation please.

Because your 100 SPR masternode is going to get kicked off the network and stop earning you money a lot faster than one with a higher collateral input, as competition drives up the minimum cost.

1440 is still not a big number as it's so easy to run many MNs on a single box. I think the voting system should favour MNs running on discrete machines.

2000 Dark Masternodes is a very robust network. 1440 Spread MNs running on a just a few hundred boxes is a lot less resilient, especially if there are a lot of crappy Windows boxes on domestic connections among them.

There needs to be an incentive to run fewer MNs per box, and competition to provide better and more reliable service.

1440 is a very nice base. A logical conclusion that makes sense.

Maybe we can add to this, by changing it to double that (2880) sometime in the far future? Say in 4 years? (or 2102400 blocks)

But something tells me that 1440 are enough for all time, given that additional incentives (not yet clear) will make those masternodes strive to become better and better.

Obviously masternodes run on CPU based machines, so could it be possible to force (?) every masternode to mine with 1 CPU thread, or something like that?

Maybe a change address, it looks like you split up coins to multiple addresses. Check to see if it's there in Coin Control

Hi, a noob question, what will happen with these test SPR coins that i'm mining, will they be converted to real SPR with the a value or r these coins just for testing purpose only and will be worthless? thx
