I don't find DIVX as a gem at all.
Too many 'gambling' factors like masternodes, lottery and so on. I don't see how this will lead to mainstream adoption which is their goal.
These are just additions to the platform, it will attract the different types of investors. Nodes are needed to run the network. Take a good look at the UI and project, its about making crypto simple. Simple address masking, atomic swaps. So easy that your grandma could use it.
Mainnet launches in May i believe, gives people that havent invested already some time to see more of the platform and invest!
