Looks like I've found my new spare time project this weekend!
I think this would make a really awesome project and I'd learn a ton, as well as be able to contribute something to the community. I was doing some research yesterday on masternodes for a few coins and what it would take to run my own, but this sounds like way more fun since I'm a member here already!
Looking forward to more posts from you. Following and voting for you as a witness now!
