What prevents a large shareholder to vote in his own high pay delegate. Even if that one is eventually voted out he can just register a new one and start again.

I am still hoping BM considers separating delegates and employees.

currently the last active delegate has 5.72% approval .. if you own more than that in BTS .. you can upvote your own delegate into the top101 and actively produce blocks.

AlphaBar was saying on mumble after the last hangout that it's a lot less than the approval rate shown on the blockexplorer to get voted in because its only shows the active stake. He calculated that currently (4 days ago) control of only 2% of the total BTS supply is needed for a large stakeholder to vote themself into to a max-dilution delegate spot. 

50/1010*60*60*24*14=59881

I'm confused - the one time fee both has nothing to do with, and also depends on the pay rate?

Oh .. sorry .. you are right .. the delegate registration fee somehow depends on the payrate .. but I have no detailed information ..
you still need to pay that once (per registration and per registration update) .. not per block

This is the one-time fee to register a delegate on the blockchain and has nothing to do with how much you earn as a delegate.. it depends first of all if you are voted up enough to produce blocks .. and then secondly on your payrate .. which is a parameter you have to specify when registering on the blockchain .. and can only be lowered ... not increased

Quote"max_delegate_reg_fee": "8.12366 BTS",

Is that per block? In that case, how many blocks in two weeks?

The release says '2 weeks', but it would be nice to have a hard number to work with :)

you can register a 100% pay  delegate ,  but you don't normally elect to be one , unless you're the core developer or great contributor who can bring value to the system. Normal people wants to be a 100% pay delegate , shareholders won't approve .

Normally , you can do 3% if you're ordinary people.
