so I am hearing that there will be masternodes in the future. If this is true, how many $BTA will it take to run a masternode?
Masternodes are tentative on the future roadmap. It was based on a couple items that need to be decided from the community:
- Move to Hybrid PoW/PoS rewards
- Codebase updates that can support Masternodes
- Decision on how Masternodes are rewarded and control inflationary growth
There is also the development of the Barter market or nodes themselves. This is still under development and may use or need the Masternodes to function, but this is not completely designed as of yet.
BTA will be separate, but the exclusive currency of the Barter Platform, therefore we will need to keep the masternodes separate from the Barter platform. More details will come with the whitepaper.
