I see 25 masternodes got made in the last 24 hours And voted yes by one person. More than saving hosting fees, the priority seems to be a desire to maintain control and power. You raise MN cost to 4.5M and that makes it 3x as difficult for newcomers to buy enough bbp for a MN.
Vps cost less than $1/mo.
If you want diversity and the ability to voice an opinion, make the MN cost 750k bbp instead.
