From what I can tell from my limited research, master nodes are on distributed servers that anyone can setup.
Anyway. So what's the plan for getting VTC moving, or do I need to read throw a thread history to catch-up?
You understood wrong. Masternodes are anything BUT decentralized. Im not gonna get into details, because Im tired of going trough this, but here is a nice post on the matterAnyway. So what's the plan for getting VTC moving, or do I need to read throw a thread history to catch-up?

(I hope that a raging mob of darkcoin fanboys doesn't appear out of nowhere)
Just as jwitnerm said, Masternodes are totally against everything VTC stands for
As for the plans on "getting VTC moving"... there is this "Elasticity" feature coming up in the foreseeable future, but having in mind how elasticity really works, it will be more of a y0-y0 movement than anything else.
Other than that (example: advertizing, integration, publicity, communication, news, etc) - nope.
I've taken a good look now. I'm fairly happy that the master node concept is a good one. The links provided above don't fully match the reality of what is going on.
The actual coins are still operating on a blockchain. The nodes are performing services on demand, and they are doing it randomly. You would need to spend a vast sum to acquire enough nodes to sniff what is going on or to interfere with transactions.
I just don't see that being viable. At the moment, there is nothing of interest for people to invest the time or the effort attacking these projects. By the time they do become of interest you have to spend a lot.
Crave looks like a pump n dump, so worth a quick turn. Spreadcoin is worth watching. I seriously think VTC needs to look at a future evolution that incorporates nodes that provide services.
