Thank you for your clarification - so the only way to get DPOS and POS reward will be to run a masternode? Who will get that 50k (developers) ? What would be the minimum server requirements to run it? Thanks!
NO - you will get DPOS and POS reward by staking your own coins no need to have a masternode. 50k Collateral for your masternode is still yours it doesnt go to anyone. It is call "Collateral" because it is the only way to activate your masternode and get a certain percentage of rewards. If you happen to spend your 50k collateral, your masternode get removed from the list of masternodes.
I will post more details about how masternode work and how to setup one after the release of v1.2 which will have synqnode enabled.
thank you.
