As someone who has long been interested in running a secret node, I am eagerly waiting to hear more about the minimum stake required and ROI. I have a few related questions.

- Can the team please shed more light on their current thinking re: minimum stake required for running a node at launch? If you cannot give a number, perhaps a range? 10k? 100k? 1M?

- What will the ROI look like at the launch when the network activity is presumably low?

- How many nodes do you envision at launch? 10s? 100s? 1000s?

Thanks!
