We're talking a long ways down the road. But at a certain point, if I understand correctly (which I might not), eventually bts growth will slow down significantly/stagnate once it is ubiquitous in the world. At this point, most of the profit from holding BTS will come from fees being destroyed by delegates. Paid delegates don't destroy fees.
How many paid delegates is enough in the end and why?
-
I've been thinking about this today, and it finally occurred to me.
Why not just run all 100% until speculative value is maxed out, then have the delegates makes new accounts when the time comes to start burning bts.
I don't know why I didn't think of that this morning. The mechanisms are already built into the system. That's probably how this will play out, isn't it?
-
As long as a 100% pay delegate gives roughly below 5k$/month I am ok with plenty of them ... even without good "initial" reputation ..

I dont think there is a specific number to target. Instead, vote for paid delegates that you believe will produce more value than they cost.
As the market cap increases, this bar becomes higher, and thus you would be looking for more value per delegate (a team of people rather than 1, for example), or you would be looking to vote for them at levels below 100% pay.

Well said. If they are good people who have proven that they'll add value, then I'll vote for all of them. And right now, I'd vote for a dozen more marketing delegates like Methodx and Matt608.

101 100% pay rate delegate is not too enough, if everyone is worth for it ,

Try running this poll in Chinese, though. 60% in English is quite impressive, but we have to scratch and pull to get anyone elected without Chinese support.

Excuse my stupid question but can someone explain where the funds come from for the following terms used for spending funds:
Paid Delegates
"Burned" Funds
Dillution
I am honestly confused by the terms and want to make informed comments/choices.

not a stupid question, so you're not excused :P
Paid Delegates: Most delegates are getting paid some percentages of the transaction fees for every block they sign. For most delegates 3% is an accepted number to make up for the effort and costs of running a delegate at the moment.
However, if you're a marketing badass, a code genius, or have some other brilliant way to contribute, you can campaign to have people vote for your 100% delegate, which if elected, would pay you enough to actually friggin live off. Our blockchain can provide jobs.
When a delegate is not keeping 100%, whatever fees are left over get burned, reducing the supply and therefore distributing value back to the rest of BTS holders.
Originally, BTS was planned to be a deflationary currency, with a hard cap on supply which would get reduced over time as delegates burned fees (thus paying interest to shareholders).
These days we are less about deflation, but the ability for delegates to burn fees is still in there. So I'm asking how many 100% paid delegates people are cool with before they'd like to see some profit given back to shareholders.

It would be helpful if the system could produce rudimentary financial statements (balance sheet, income statement etc...) so we could review them and make more informed decisions.
