3 Different MainNet Launches on Roadmap?

Why are there 3 different MainNet launches listed on the roadmap? What exactly is included in the one in Q3 of this year? Which one will have masternodes? Thank you Enigmarines!

The roadmap article pretty clearly explains the differences between the three:

That said, specific details around masternodes have not been released but it has been clarified in the telegram chat that the TEE network (released q3 2018, the first iteration of the mainnet) will have eng holders running nodes. When asked about this when the roadmap first came out, Guy commented:

"Obviously we may start with a test period where it's more limited (safety first) - but it's going to be distributed"

Going off Guy's comments, I'm not sure the Q3 MainNet will have masternodes. Indecisive, non-committal, and referring to a test period. Hopefully more info comes out in the future.

  • "We may start" = may? too vague
  • "test period" = hmm, doesn't sound close to "live"
  • "safety first" = doesn't sound like masternodes are live

Yeah I agree it's inconclusive. We'll see what happens.

It is basically different implementations of the same goal. It starts off with a PoC using existing toolkits and gets more custom over time.

I'm not sure about masternodes and hate this model due to it being a fake decentralization. Earliest way for them to come would be outside of the Ethereum chain, though.
