Hi Rob,
I find MIP's suggestion noteworthy. Your direction in this proposal is very agreeable, but gradual changes (versus big jumps) are really more welcome among the community. I don't think anyone paying $5/mo for a sanc would mind paying twice as much initially, knowing half is actual donation. As the crypto winter ends, further increases in the donation content would not even trigger any discomfort.
On a separate tone, I think increasing collateral requirement for a donating sanc would also be beneficial due to a lower amount of released coins after the dismantling of some sancs. Oh, how about a system that rewards the sancs in proportion to how much they lock and how much they donate?
The problem with the variable reward is that the entire deterministic masternode codebase is very complicated, and we have to calculate the sanctuary subsidy up front (sometimes even months in advance, due to the deflation and the governance calls). Changing it to dynamic adds a new element of fork risk that I am not willing to take for something that is just a gradual feature - in the end - it is expected that someone will need to sponsor a full cameroon orphan to run a full sanctuary node anyway - so I feel like the dynamic portion can be handled inside foundation.biblepay.org instead (which, I believe it could be with fractional sanctuaries).
The other element of this is at this time, cameroon is the only partner we have that can meet the security requirements that I feel satisfy a third party audit of the reward vs proof of sponsorship (IE they will host the bios on their own domain, all the orphans are $40 each, biblepay sponsors them with no help from others, one sanc public key per orphan etc). Im of course very interested in working with compassion in the future, but they cannot offer this at this time. The other aspect is we cant go with a mismatch of providers because that would be unfair - for example we cant have 5 Kairos and 5 Cameroon due to the price differences - and at this time, cameroon is the only one promising the ability to scale to hundreds of orphans as we grow.
So right now the best I can offer is :
Two sanctuary public keys per orphan for the first 6 months
Fractional sancs to handle the fractional case
After 6 months we move to one orphan per key
Theoretically, with fractional sancs and DWS I think we have actually offered the solution to the problem anyway. We could if we wanted jump directly to one sanc per public key and ask the users to go with fractional right off the bat.
