is MasterNode same with staking ?
on another cryptonight coin was have implemented PoS for Staking, no minimum coin requirement, but with small amount will long to get reward

Id like to learn more about the partnership as well, as for the MN subject I'm pretty sure the devs have that in the bag.
April 22, 2019, 08:27:09 AM
How about the payments processors: is there a list somewhere which websites/webshops lists uPlexa as a payment possibility?
I think in the spirit of adoption it is nice to see that uPlexa is actually being used for the things it was meant to in the first place.
This could attract more people from outside, since it shows a real usecase. I know it is still early, but it would be nice to see
the project growth made visisble through using such a list. Just a thought...
I remember QuantumLeaper pre-announcing an important partnership few weeks ago, but they finally decided not to go public straight away because of the recent big dump down to 3 sats... I suppose the 3 sats period being probably behind us now, this partnership could go public? It has probably something to do with integration... I think in the spirit of adoption it is nice to see that uPlexa is actually being used for the things it was meant to in the first place.

But I'm sure that the first use cases will come from the community.
In the meantime, I'd like to hear from the team about this masternodes / privacy matter... Currently most masternodes have public address + static IP. You can track any masternodes connection time and transactions just by entering the host ip in any monitoring website. As much as I use and appreciate this possibility from a practical point of view, I can't help raising a eyebrow when I think about 'privacy'... Does the team have any specific plan to solve this potential issue, or is the 'privacy' adjective being used inappropriately once again?

how many coins do I need for a MN?
As far as i know, more detailed information about MNs should come after the Proof of Work algo update. The PoW algo update should be near the end of this month.

Running a node on a home PC is not recommended in any crypto coin.
Example: you will have to pay for electricity for another PC, running 24/7 ($10-15 per month)
You will have to maintain it 24/7 (dust, parts replacement, etc.)
It will produce heat and noise and take up space.
Even if all this is not a problem for you, renting a virtual machine for
a masternode costs only about $2,50 - $10 a month, depending on requirements.
You can check prices and major providers: Digital Ocean, VirMach, Vultr
That way you will have less interruptions and higher profit,
since uptime and connectivity are critical for MN.
and Datacenter's internet and power are all redundant.
You know, the $15 per month electricity bill is the problem of parents who bought you gaming PC.
While $2.5 for VPS is your problem...
Well, you can put it this way too
. but if $2.5/month is a problem for you,then crypto might not be the best place to spend your time.
@RyanDokter
I've seen people running masternodes on a Raspberry Pie,
but this all depends how much RAM/CPU the Uplexa utility node will require
to run smoothly.
There is one more thing - we still don't know how profitable it would be
to run a MN. Some other coins' masternodes cannot even cover the expense for VPS.
I really liked the idea for a mobile phone, running as a Utility node.
However I don't know if it can run it 24/7 without overheating.
Other than that it would be perfect:
1. low power usage
2. Multi core CPU
3. small size
The only downside would be that it only has Wi-fi, no Ethernet,
which adds a few ms of lag.
Wouldn't one of the downsides be that those phones wouldn't have a static IP? It's one of the main requirements for masternodes usually, so unless the devs find an innovative way of handling utility nodes(aka masternodes), it don't see how phone nodes could happen.
We'll see what happens they're preparing for us, exciting times to come for sure!
You are on the right track man, if you want to preserve privacy masternodes would be the wrong way. Thank you for being smart.

Phones will run on WiFi, which can be static.
So having a mobile phone running a node, can be pretty doable.
Let's see what Devs can add to this.

Is there any difference btwn Utility Nodes & Masternodes?
on amount requirement maybeUtility Nodes no minimum upx to running
Masternodes need minimum upx to running
but, idk, just my opinion hehehe
because i only know PoW, new on PoS

I agree with u hosting MN in VPS would be a better option in regards to having stable ethernet connection & power redundancy backup.
I hope if its not profitable, at least the reward can cover Server expenses. As for profit we have to put our confidence and support to the developement team to bring out the value of the coins in the future. I for one is excited to own MN 😁

If i knew my broadband connection was 100% reliable and electricity bill was affordable i would have absolutely no problems hosting my own MNs. I do however believe we shouldn't loose site of what UPX is all about and thats decentralisation through IoT. I would love to be able to run MN of something like an NUC, or at least something small, maybe even a mobile phone.

Thanks Whotheff and Ryandoctor for explaining. I will consider my options once more information comes out.
In the meantime I will be getting my hands on as much UPX as possible.
Is the workload for the devs still doable or will there be expansion of the team in the near future? Given the fact that both discord and
telegram are getting busier and busier, I can imagine it is getting harder to adress everyones questions, and in the meantime perform
the hardforks and other developments.
Btw did I mention it's a great project?! Keep it up guys!

Personally I don't think hardware is an issue for most nore hosting the hardware at home. You could quite comfortably run a MN on a minipc like an i3NUC. The problem is having it connected to the the blockchain 24x7 because a MN requires that above all else, a disconnect would ruin the security of the blockchain and also the work its doing and therefore your earning and staking potential. Network connectivity is the most important factor running a MN.

Noob question, how are masternodes in comparison to utility nodes, can you use both? Is there a difference in specs regarding being able to run either one?
I have an i7 4770 8gb, would that be good enough? I am willing to participate, but don't have the intention to weaken the network.
