I've heard about masternodes, eventually? can one core Team member confirm that it's in the plans?
I think that would be very nice, at one point in the evolution of the project, to replace the current PoW mining system by a PoS/MN, and simultaneously find a way to give the PoW-er to IoT devices. As of today, and even though Android systems can already participate in the mining party, the balance is clearly in favour of the "big computers". Which, in the logical evolution of the project & the network, sounds logical. In the first moments of a crypto project, you need to build up and stabilise the network, and incentivise the people who are gonna bring this initial power, aka mining rigs.
Giving the whole power exclusively to IoT devices in the very first place would probably have been a mistake, as the project doesn't have enough market influence to release integrated miner on all the existing IoT devices. It's something that will have to come progressively.
That's why I was having this "masternodes / PoS switch" idea.
I'd like to have your opinion on this? community & core Team
