PIP-70: Increase Minstake to 100k POL

I don’t really understand the point of this one, given the number of validators is capped at 105 (if I understand correctly) it doesnt really matter if the size of a validator is too small in terms of performance. This would effectively kick 3 validators which are healthy (Forbole, pier 2, and google), and 2 unhealthy validators.


Pier Two has a 99.86% checkpoint signed. this is really good! I see no reason to kick them. Do you really want to kick google cloud? What kind of brand risk does that create?

If the motivation is to get rid of validators who arent meeting the checkpoint threshold, then we can just do that. I would instead suggest a rule that if you miss the threshold for too long you can get kicked. Although that might be more complex technically to implement.

I dont support this for now.

EDIT: looks like actually this would not kick anyone out, and only apply to new validators. My mistake. I would still like to hear from Pier Two is possible before going forward.
