BTW, I dont know if this has been addressed since I was without internet the better part of last week... but with InstantX, if the Masternodes are confirming the tx, then what is the roll of miners?

With InsantX miners are just going to act as a fallback, but they will still be processing any non-InstantX transactions, if there's a SnailTX option.

are you shure?
i thought master nodes just lock amounts until its processed by miners to the blockchain.. but didn't follow the conversation about instantTX entirely

Currently, it's the miners that bake the transactions into the blockchain for posterity, but the MNs could do it just as well, it's just a consensus based file-write, you don't need petaflops of compute power.
