I've been pondering the new budget and superblock scheme and a bit unsure what I make of it. If I understand this right the masternodes can vote to create thousands of extra dash to be included in a block.. So this will push the number of dash up from 22 million to some higher number? Is that correct? Is this not a bit like quantitative easing that central banks do ? Someone correct me if i got this wrong . Thanks
To clarify, no extra Dash are created. 10% of each block is taken off, earmarked for the superblock. At the time of the superblock, these Dash are created all at once, less any unspent Dash that didn't get a project approved. The reason for this is that we didn't want a point of failure address which could be hacked at any time, and we didn't want a "pork barrel" type of situation where inferior projects would be supported just to spend the money.
So, if all projects are approved and all Dash are spent, the quantity of Dash remains the same. If some Dash remains unspent, then they are never created and Dash quantity actually decreases.
Hope that helps.
