Intelligent masternodes is something I've never dealt with, but it sure sounds interesting. Traditional masternode projects tend to be looked at as "scams" as they serve NO purpose.
I like the fact that these masternodes are put to work, and actually provides services. It's a cool concept.
More and more projects actually starts using their masternode networks as "service centers" so to speak. It's pretty cool since it's decentralized and easily accessible for the people needing the services.
Stakenet's use case is MASSIVE though, and can't be compared with any other project out there. Node owners will surely make a killing in fees long term.
