I've been playing around with setting up a couple of masternodes for 2 different coins, and I'm pondering whether it's worth the trouble in the long run. I've found that setting up masternodes is not straight forward, especially if you want to use a VPS.

What does the community here think about this?

I'm new in here and I'm do not understand too much about masternode.
Could you please explain more why masternode that worth the trouble in the long run.


I'm also relatively new to the masternodes setup, but I can tell you a bit about it. Essentially, a masternode is any server / computer that runs the coin wallet configured to be up 24/7 behind a static IP, with a declared amount of the coin kept as collateral either on the same wallet, or on an offline remote wallet. The key intent of the masternode is to play a similar role as a miner node in helping transactions validation on the blockchain, but the difference is that it does not need to do POW, since it has POS (amount of coins as collatetal). If you own a masternode, you are often able to vote on which projects get funded from the coin's trasury fund in the  evolution of the coin roadmap. Each coin specifies the amount of collateral to be aet aside, and the coins that are given to the masternode as a reward for being a masternode. Check out masternodes.online for more info.

The one and most important decision is the coin. If you are planning to hodl the coin you are betting, its highly recommended to become a masternode. This is a passive income and which you can either cash out or grow your asset.

But if you just look at the ROI part and jump into any scam coin, you may lose part or whole of your asset.

I've have several types of masternodes. For the most part you take the good with the bad.
Pros:
Keeps the blockchain moving
Some give you a decent passive income

Cons:
Some coins may never make it to the exchange or get delisted. (Time to Hodl)
Development ceasing could hurt the nodes growth.

But overall i am happy with the outputs.

Do masternodes actually help with the scalability problem of a blockchain?

Some people own masternodes as a great governance mechanism in cryptocurrency systems..since the owner of a masternode will have a say in developmental matters through voting, for instance. So it's not as much about money, but because someone would want to safeguard their investment in this way. The importance of master nodes is also clear with many people competing to give proposals that show real value and promise good returns.

Hope this helps!
