Proposal: State Maintainer Seats Give Rights to Collection Pool Profits

[geopor]

The important role of maintaining TEA Project's state machine is the responsibility of the state maintainer nodes. Users can run these nodes if they have a state maintainer seat license, which gives them a percentage of the Collection Pool profits (paid by TApp developers to use the state machine's memory).

Our current dilemma is this:

• During the first two years approximately, only the TEA Project team and a select group of our private investors will be able to run a state maintainer node for security reasons. Once we've seen the system successfully in action for a while then we'll let users from our community start to run a state maintainer node. We anticipate this opening up to occur within the first 2 years after mainnet launches.
• We still want our community to be able to participate in the profits of the state maintainer nodes during the approximate 2 year lockup. So for the first 2 years approximately, anyone can buy a state maintainer seat license and earn their share of the collection pool profits. We'll only requiring actually running a node to earn a profit share after the security testing is finished and we open up state maintainer node operation to the entire community.
• Users can still purchase the Global staking token to earn a share of state maintainer node tax payments (not collection pool profits).

Question to community: how do you feel about being able to earn a share of the collection pool profits during the first 2 years after mainnet launch just by buying a state maintainer seat license?
