MASTERNODES

In fact, the term hides servers with a certain number of blocked coins. They are constantly online and sign blocks. The reward is rewarded in the coins of the network. Creating a masternode is an expensive process that is not accessible to every investor. Everyone who wants to set up a masternode must go through a kind of financial selection – to buy a large number of cryptocurrencies. The amount determined by the rules of the network is frozen on the wallet of the owner of the masternode.

It is worth noting that the freezing of a significant amount of funds in little-known cryptocurrencies can cause serious losses, primarily due to the volatility of the cryptocurrency market, and secondly, low liquidity when selling, that is, it can be traded on an exchange with a trading volume of $ 10 (at an acceptable price to you price).

Analyze information on bitcointalk and other cryptocurrency forums in order to know how the project is developing. Or you will be engaged not in investments, but in the game of roulette.

Since the rate of most cryptocurrencies can change by hundreds of percent during the year, it is almost impossible to calculate the future yield of the masternode in dollars. Investors can only focus on the current profit paid to the owners of the main nodes in various cryptocurrencies.

Regardless of the selected cryptocurrency, setting up a masternode is reduced to sequentially performing 3 steps:

Configuring software for the masternode to work on a remote server.

Buying a sufficient amount of cryptocurrency and sending it to your own wallet tied to a masternode.

Start masternode.

Reliable requirements are placed on the reliability of masternodes: the server must be available 24/7, only insignificant periods of disconnection from the network are allowed (several hours a year). A node needs a dedicated IP address to operate. The speed of the Internet connection should be constant, without significant drawdowns.

Ensuring the fulfillment of these conditions in your home or apartment is quite difficult. The user will need to connect a dedicated IP, constantly keep ready a backup communication channel and provide uninterrupted power to the computer in case of a power outage. In practice, it is much simpler and cheaper to rent a virtual server (VPS) or use the services of specialized hosting services that offer their help in setting up a masternode.

The unpredictability of the cryptocurrency rate is the main danger in creating a masternode. A prolonged market downturn can significantly increase the payback period. The popularity of the currency also affects the profitability of the masternode: the more transactions go through the blockchain, the higher the reward for the owner of the node.

When choosing a masternode, you should pay attention to the following parameters:

1. How long a project is on the market – the more the better. Coins that were created less than a year ago should be treated with caution, however, they just provide the opportunity to receive super-profits.

2. Capitalization – the higher the better.

3. ROI – return on investment. This term defines the return on investment for a certain period of time. It is better to calculate it yourself, since monitoring services try to impress investors and calculate it for short periods of time, including one day, which does not make sense at all.

4. The dynamics of changes in the price of coins. The yield of a masternode may have little or no effect on the outcome of an investment if the price of a coin changes regularly and exhibits an unclear long-term trend. Be sure to analyze the behavior of the value of the coin over the past few months. It is desirable that it be stable and change in accordance with the behavior of Bitcoin. In addition, the changes should be smooth.

5. Developers Examine the team representatives and their past achievements. It is desirable that the developers already had some kind of worthwhile product. At a minimum, they should not be implicated in all kinds of scam schemes – this will partially exclude the possibility of manipulating coin prices or the banal disappearance of the project.

MNO is a masternode coin monitoring and stats service. MNO does not research or recommend any coin. Do your own research and invest at your own risk. ROI changes often and is not the most important factor. Please consider Dev Team – Community – PURPOSE/Platform – Liquidity – Wallet when making masternode purchases.

Masternodes.online uses the CoinGecko API and selected verified exchanges for ALL price, volume and marketcap numbers for validation. The only exceptions are ICOs and newly listed coins that have not yet been listed on CoinGecko or on verified exchanges.

ICO, IEO, STO

ICO, Initial coin offering – a form of attracting investments in the form of selling to investors a fixed number of new units of cryptocurrencies.

The primary exchange offer, IEO is a variant of ICOs managed directly by cryptocurrency exchanges.

In the ICO, investors buy tokens in order to benefit from an increase in the value of the asset, or to access the platform services.

In STO, investors invest their money in order to receive dividends, an influx of finance or a voting right that is directly tied to a security.

Choosing a project for investment:

1. Field of activity – choose the most promising sectors of the economy, which in the near future can make a qualitative leap in their development.

2. White paper of the project – read how the project lives, how well the document is prepared, what goals the project sets for itself, marketing digging.

3. Presentation – is it clear to you, what is new and interesting, creative the project offers, what are the bonuses and advantages in comparison with other projects?

4. The roadmap of the project – how it is being carried out: ahead of schedule or there are delays in the implementation of certain tasks and goals.

5. Social networks (audience size, project activity) – project news, advertising, attracting new users to the platform (audience growth), contests, in which the development of the project is manifested.

6. Team (developer profiles) – are there profiles on social networks, in which large companies the project team members worked, what successes they achieved, are they able to enter into large partnerships with the existing business.

7. Advisers – who are these people, are they really professional programmers and investors with a long work experience and the ability to assess the attractiveness and novelty of new projects?

8. Ratings of ICO project trackers – see how other people evaluate the project.

9. Difference from competitors – what is the novelty of the project, what new technologies can be introduced on its basis, how the project will bypass its direct competitors.

10. Institutional investors – how many large cryptocurrency funds have invested in this project, and in what amount.

11. The economy of tokens (general release, distribution) – how many tokens will remain with the project team, will they subsequently be able to manipulate the price of the token on the exchanges, or are they interested in having as many people as possible buy their tokens and keep them in their wallets.

12. Soft Cap and Hard Cap – how much the project plans to collect within the ICO, IEO or STO, the terms of token sale, is there any information that reflects the amount of funds raised in real time.

13. Github smart contract – whether a smart contract is exposed, how often the update takes place.

14. Discounts for pre-sale – what they are, if too large – perhaps the project does not pursue the goal of high-quality development, but manipulates the opinion of investors in order to simply collect as much money as possible within the ICO.

NON – STANDARD APPROACH TO INVESTMENTS

1. Purchase of tokens and coins of projects that conducted ICOs in 2016 – 2019, and which are currently traded with low trading volume and low ROI. It should be borne in mind that projects should be selected as follows:

• Attracting a large amount of funds in the ICO process,

• Projects should be included in the TOP ratings of ICO trackers, which are published annually.

• An excellent team should be behind the projects and the project should constantly develop: conduct marketing companies, be active in social networks, conclude cooperation agreements with existing companies not only in the cryptocurrency market.

Also make choices based on a combination of factors:

1. Field of activity

2. White paper of the project

3. Presentation

4. Project roadmap

5. Social network (audience size, project activity)

6. Team (developer profiles)

7. Advisers

8. Uniqueness

9. Difference from competitors

10. The presence of institutional investors, or cooperation with promising companies that are already on the market.

11. Token economics (total issue, distribution).

2. Buying tokens, which now have a low ROI on the Coinmarketcap radar, but are included in the TOP 250 and have a large user base.

On the website https://coincheckup.com you can track exchange rates depending on their maximum values, or configure a filter and watch ROI.

3. Investing in PoS tokens that are traded with a low trading volume. Also, the project should already prove itself. Pay attention to what kind of team is behind the project, what kind of investment plan they offer for mining or setting up a masternode.

Coincheckup – You can configure filters of Pos tokens or any others of your choice.

Stakingrewards – Staking Rewards is the leading data provider for staking and crypto-growth tools. We are currently tracking 111 yield-bearing assets with an average reward rate of 14.93% and 284 qualified providers.

4. Search for top coins or tokens that are traded on low-liquid exchanges with a low trading volume and a small number of buy orders with a large price step down. You place pending buy or sell orders per squeeze.
