Thanks!  Didnt know about Obsidian.  I see all kinds of Stratis talk in their ANN.  Their whitepaper is missing.  Looking at their wallet pics it looks like they modified breeze.  To include instant messaging.  Thats the stratis web UI I was referring to - I think we would gain traction if we had a UI that looked like our QT that ran in windows natively with stratis.  I synced stratis a couple months ago using source against bitcoin and it syncs very fast.  I believe because the database is using NoSql which is apparently pretty good.  It looks like flat files on the drive.  

Anyway, yes, I have evolution downloaded and running here.  (Our other team needed to dissect it for their current project).  So far it doesnt add anything to our needs for orphan payments, but I agree, we need to stay on top of potentially pushing new features back into biblepay.  It does not include SegWit, so we really gain nothing by monkeying with the latest evolution check in at least for a little while.

But to address your question about masternodes:  I fully promise we will stick to our roadmap, and deploy our masternodes and let our integrity rise and hopefully our price as more users buy to lease masternodes, and we embrace them.  For stratis, Im thinking about potentially running a stratis biblepay clone in parallel, one that is compatible with our chain, and porting the masternode (sanctuary) features Into the stratis clone to make that clone compatible with biblepay.

If all went well theoretically, I was thinking (especially if our price was rising) about offering a second flavor of masternode in c#.  One extra type of lease to run .NET code.  (Thats just a concept for now).
