Is it my imagination, or is there in fact somewhere online a post which appears legitimately to be from an XSN dev, in which said Dev questioned the current validity and future sustainability of the 'masternode' concept? I don't think I dreamt it, and if I did I'm not convinced that dream was ill-considered. I've tried and tried to find it to no avail - can anyone point me in the direction of such a post, or should I call the men in white coats?
Hate to say it but think you must be confused with another project.
It is not impossible. But only really on the basis that nothing is impossible. I am less involved with cryptos recently than I have been historically. I am near-certain however that I've recently read a post by what appeared to be someone closely affiliated with development of this project, whose estimation regarding masternodes was that the arguments for them being outdated had become overwhelming.
I'll continue to look, I am certain such a post is out there somewhere. If not I apologise, but bitcointalk's scrutiny is enough to find it if I'm right.
