Great suggestion Groggin. I looked into Vcash, and more specifically the reward page. Its not very detailed. Here is what I found.

Node Incentives
The node incentives system donates a portion of the miners coinbase reward to peers that are helping to maintain the network infrastructure. The system is constantly probing for good publicly addressable peers. These peers are voted on using a deterministic scoring system that is secured by the blockchain. Additionally there is a collateral mechanism that (if enabled) can prohibit votes from peers that do not have at least N amount of coins (in a single deposit) in their default wallet address. The only requirements for participating in the incentive system are a possible collateral deposit and a publically addressable peer.

Questions and Answers
How do I know if my client is a candidate for incentive rewards?

Use the getincentiveinfo command in the GUI console. If you see "votecandidate, true" you are eligible to be a candidate.
Will collateral be required?

A collateral deposit of at least 10000 into the default wallet address will be required to be a vote candiate starting at block 220000.
How do I deposit collateral?

You send 10000 coins to your default wallet address found in getincentiveinfo as a single transaction. Within some time it should reflect in getincentiveinfo if the deposit is equal or greater than 10000.
What is the incentive percentage?

My question is: Your said .

So, when you say speed, is it speed of the computer hosting the wallet? Speed of internet connection?

Also you mention connect-ability as a factor. Can you be more detailed?

If anyone else knows , please chime in.

The more one sees, the more complicated bitcoin becomes, lol

soooo  technical...... good thing there are folks around who understand all this stuff....... 

Nice. I'm looking forward to running a Master Node. I was one of the three that voted for Master Nodes. 1000 FLY is fine with me. 2000 FLY is also OK but that does make is harder to get into a FLY Master Node.
Keep up the good work!

Keep in mind there is not a lot of Fly on the free market.  There has to be a reason for people to want to buy Fly to create a masternode.  If you make it 2000 fly then what is the reason someone is going to invest (2) BTC or $1150 USD at todays rate to run (1) masternode.  Calculated at 100,000 satoshis.  I don't think you should set a masternode at 2000 fly.  We will bury ourselves in the corner where no one else can play.  If we had new tech that we created then I can see offering a MN for 2000 fly but Fly is not a high/new tech coin, it is a clone.  What is the difference between Transfercoin and Flycoin that would make me want to spend that much more?  Just posing a question - not beating up on Fly! 

Correct! 100% - I thought 500 fly was reasonable but don't even really know for sure if that is the right number.

Guys , just a quick note. Don Freddy who was one of the original users of fly lost 340 fly when the whole fiasco with the long addresses on the exchange happened. He has been compensated in full.

As stated in https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/1316737.msg15763854#msg15763854

The cost of a Masternode and the compensation for running a Masternode is require some modeling and forcasting to be planned properly.

Waiting for some more information on the plan and for some numbers to be laid out, to see if this will scale proportionally (Masternodes vs. regular wallets).

With Masternodes Fly has the potential to become a decentralized PoSP based on the number of staking nodes compared to the amount of money supply held in staking wallets to control the staking returns.

The Masternodes could modulate the returns to promote better returns on a more active coin rather than a coin with a money supply held in ~100 staking wallets.

what s the current last wallet version ?
my wallet crash and i get no node now  i mon 2.3.0
