Radium brings advanced blockchain utilities. Should it implement masternodes, maybe? This could help to reinforce Radium blockchain backbone.

The problem with master nodes is that it makes the rich richer. The current Radium model is fair for everyone imo.

This problem is actual for pure POS too. There is no much difference beetween NM reward and stake reward. But masternodes could bear additional functionality.

Most MN offer some sort of perk(s) though. I agree that they can potentially offer additional functionality, but they might also discourage new smaller stakers to enter the network.

MNs get some percent from block reward, but MNs collaterals are removed from staking so staking profitability increases. Network finds balance beetween MN and staking.

I'm not an expert on MN myself (yet) so I opened a discussion in the team about them.
