@haslo I'm not sure how collateralized mining would incentivize miners to participate. Maybe I don't understand how its supposed to work, but allowing only masternodes to mine, or limiting mining rewards based on how much a miner has staked seems counterintuitive to an expectation that owners of Dash, miners in this case, wouldn't be expected to want to be able to spend their earnings. What point is there in having "digital cash" that one is penalized for spending? What point is there to mining aside from an altruistic perspective if one's profit is limited? And how does this not risk centralizing mining to those who already possess enough Dash, or means to purchase enough Dash, to meet the requirements to mine? Seems like it would shut out small miners or new miners because the effort wouldn't worth it. I'm probably totally missing something that renders everything I just said meaningless so maybe someone can shed some light on just how collateralized mining would work because right now I don't feel like a fan of it and maybe I should be.



EDIT: I just read v13 evolution will include this. Would love to know how this will work!
