So now you have the opportunity to support the system and get a reward at the initial stage. In the future "time forging" for network support will be available only for Master Nodes - everybody can run it, but the requirements for the connection and server will be high - 24/7 high speed connection and 10,000+ open ports. The rest will receive bonuses only for the usage of network for its intended purpose - as a payment system.
So this sounds - again - different than what has been told before so I'll - again - try to understand it.
Up until now i thought that ANY node could become a masternode, i.e. there is no fixed set of masternodes like there is in e.g. darkcoin.
This quote however sounds like there is going to be a fixed set of masternodes.
That's right, the Master Node will be available to everyone, no any fixed set on Master Nodes like in darkcoin, everybody will be able to run it.
So what is it ? Will there be a fixed set of masternodes or can ANY node be at some point selected to be a masternode (which i thought was all the fancy neural network talk was about) ?
Right. ANY PERSON can run Master Node, but not ANY CLIENT can serve as the Master Node (10,000 of open stable connections).
