We’ll try our best effort as much as we can in April for migrating the funds, but no promise and no guarantee that they will become active

Hello team, our validator Aghanism has been inactive for sometime, would there be a consideration to slightly increase the max validator slot or to free some room for public validator like mine?
Appreciate it!

Hey Aghanisms,
Increasing the maximum number of active validators is not so straightforward as we’d like it to be unfortunately. Doing so would have two immediate implications to the network: Transaction Finality and Block Rewards Distribution.
In short, increasing the number of active validators would lead to longer block confirmation times and slower transaction finality - as more validators need to reach consensus on each block. Block rewards distribution will change as the rewards will have to be spread among a larger number of validators.
There is technically no limit on the number of validators users can set up; but for active validators, 50 is the current optimal number for the network.
But this is definitely not a fixed number, and is subjected to review. Validators that are ranked top 50 in terms of their Total Stake/Voting Power will automatically be considered active, and anyone can be an active validator so long as their validator has enough staked to be in the top 50. 
I doubt it will have big impact if we gradual increase over time instead of big jump
Beside technical aspects, the question is also about the standing down of team validators…
The FunctionX foundation could free up some space in the active validator set by increasing some of their own validators, and “nulling” other ones, thus giving more space for public validators to come in…
But public validators also have to demonstrate they bring value to the ecosystem.
What do you think @zaccheah and @DavidK ?
We seem to have honest public validators waiting in the inactive pool…

Would it be to hard to ask all Validators leave an opinion on the Current Idea of the Brand & Network merge, It’s really breaks my hart to see such a low response to date - there is so much we could possibly gain; But you as leaders also need to give deligators & supporters confidence for it to come out on top, I mean the choice is yours we can do nothing and sit like a stale bottle of urine or Do something and hopefully move forward, But if you want to do something do something! Don’t sit on your hands and just watch. I hope I inspire you
