Get to Кnow the LUXCoin Masternode

Luxcore aims to bring the usage of blockchain to the mainstream. It will build a connection between normal consumers and enterprises. This will happen with a parallel system invention, which will provide a private network for business on top of the existing masternode feature for the public one. A LUX masternode is a fully dedicated server adding an additional layer of stability and two additional levels of functionality to the network.

Here are the main features helping with all the mentioned processes. First in line is the PMN (Parallel Masternodes). It provides encrypted wallets and transactions. It also allows you to create third-party applications on top of the blockchain. Next in line is the LuxGate technology. Proven blockchains communicate with each other and with centralized organizations using PMN.

In this article, you’ll learn not only, how to make a profit with LUX, but also how to set up your own LUXCoin masternode.

How to Make Money from LUX Masternodes

LUXCoin combines PoS and PoW models. With Proof of Stake LUX core uses PoS 2.0 only with a static reward system and gains about 1 LUX, where the MN receives about 20% of it. FYI. With PoW each block is in 60sec and it earns you 10 LUX with 20% for the masternode. When staking, you will get rewarded no matter the number of coins and it will be a frequent event. The current LUXCoin masternode ROI per year is around 37%. This leads to almost 12% per month. With more masternodes in the network, this % will decrease. What is more, the ROI% can’t be calculated exactly, because the rewards of the MN operators depend on the type of node generating the next block. The followed model for rewarding is known as FIFO (First in First Out), where each of them gets in a queue for a block reward. Once done, the masternode goes to the back of the queue and the balance in the network remains stable.

LUXCoin Masternode Setup

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

Here are the requirements for setting up a single masternode for LUXCoin:

  • Collateral of 16,200 LUX. You can buy them from Crypto Bridge
  • Download the last version of the official wallet from Github
  • The VPS must be with a static IP address. In case your provider doesn’t offer such service, check out VULTR and their prices
  • The masternode must always be online. Turning the PC, with which you lock the collateral, on and off is not a problem
  • For setting up a VPS Linux CLI masternode you need 1 CPU and at least 1GB of RAM
  • The storage space for the whole blockchain, which grows with every new block, must be minimum 20GB
  • Linux
  • wallet
  • LUX

How to Set Up a LUX Masternode Step by Step

  • Choose a provider. Make sure you’ve set up a static IP. Select the needed CPUs, memory and storage configurations. Attaching your IP to the VPS can be offered as an additional paid work or as a part of the selected VPS service package
  • Connect the set-up Operating System to the Virtual Private Server. Do that using any SSH software terminal to remotely connect both everything. A good example of such an open source with high-quality is the PuTTy
  • Install the official LUX wallet. You can host a masternode only with it after you’ve made a collateral of 16,200 LUX
  • Send 16,200 LUX to the masternode wallet. The sum must be an exact much – no more or less. Use an exchange or another wallet to send the collateral there, after configuration is done
  • Check if the LUXCoin masternode works properly by starting it from the LUX core wallet. DO that in two ways – using commands in the CLI version or through a Debug console window in the GUI version
