I'm just wondering how this coin can be usebale and useful locked in masternodes...Total lack of sense for me.
Anonymous transactions have several uses and masternodes are often a way for you to do two things: 1) Help keep the network secure and running and 2) get rewarded for it.
For many people, that turns into a way to receive a passive income from all of this.
It's fork of XVG. XVG is used widely to provide secure transactions between users and exchanges. In this way I don't see any reason to lock coins in wallets, especially with lesser than XVG amout of total coins. I'm here from the very first day, watching for the progress of SHIELD, I'm still holding my coins and believe in this project and developer. And I don't think that it is wise solution. It's only good for hype, pump and dump. Just look at this copy-pasted neoscrypt masternodes bullshit without any innovation and tech, appearing every day here. My opinion.
There is a reason behind masternodes. We will be using masternodes to implement private send and instant send. Two, in our opinion, great function to have for a privacy coin. Our costum PoS will also require masternodes. So in this case it's not only good for hype and a pump and dump. We do understand what you mean and will try to work out a way to prevent a gigantic pump and dump caused by the implementation of masternodes.
