i though of idea
maybe somehow on protocol level few people can create a 'shared masternode' and still hold their coins
lets say i have 100 coins, and two more people have 450 coins each. so we can run full nodes and somehow combining our coins without giving the coins.
and when all 3 nodes are up they will get payed splitting reward
I don't have a clue if it is possible to program
This thought has been thrown around for a while now. Once the Third-Tier of Evolution is in place, decentralized applications like that will probably be the first to be developed by freelancers. If possible it would obviously be done with multisignatures with the Masternode network taking care of the fair splitting of the rewards among participants. Having the cost of establishing a masternode getting higher and higher in the future the demand for such dapps is definitely going to grow accordingly.
But for the meantime: I once read Node40 had a pooled Masternode service in the works. No clue about the current status of that though.
