Hey Rikybrosh I'd never refer to myself as an expert. I will add that coin this week. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for your feedback

You bring up an interesting point about volatility. How does a volatility index for masternodes sound?

Yes I know I haven't covered all masternodes and not even they have every single coin covered. I'm starting with them as a base. I run a company on the side so I do not have a ton of time to work on this list. Going to continue tweaking it weekly.

Jansaa,

I'm working with a few developers now to put this on a website and do it a lot bigger! Hoping the bitcoin talk community continues to support these efforts

Hey Coinadon,

I have a grading rubric on the sheet:

Masternodes Enabled:   Some coins rated do not currently have masternodes yet

Aggragate Grade   Compiles all grades together into a final score, will add weighted scores in the future (1-10 system)

Team Public:   Some teams are not public, lack of transparency will hurt your rating, 0 or +10 for this rating depending if you have public members listed on your site.

Team Grade:   If teams are rated we look at credentials to give a rating (this is my personal opinion and is a very hard number to quanitfy). I will use the judgements of my staff on how easy to use their software is.

Whitepaper Grade:   Is this a plagiarized/BS whitepaper? I.e. it is literally the same as everyone elses, are they doing something different? (1-10 scale, 1 is complete toiletpaper, 10 is an incredible groundbreaking project)

Utility Grade:    Can this coin be utilized for something besides being a masternode or is it just a dash fork?

Community Grade:   How many people are following on twitter, discord and telegram (1-10 scale, magic numbers 10,000 total between the three platforms)

Economic Grade:   Was this coin constructed with good supply and demand economics? Is there way too many coins out there or a restricted supply

Ease of Access Grade:   Is this listed on some random sketchy exchange or is it easily accessible by investors?

Maturity Grade:   How old is this node, is it brand new or has it been around to be tested? (1-10 scale, the more mature the better the rating, dash will hold a 10 because of it being the creator of masternode systems, 1 point for every month of existence 1 month < will = 0

ROI Grade:   How good is the return for the initial investment, can vary daily, (10 = 1,000% or higher, 9-6 = 100%+, 5-1 = 50-10<%)

High/Low Risk Scale   I've realized some masternodes are basically ponzis, so I inverted the rating to warn potential investors that coins who score low tend to be schemes, scams or just plain shit coins

* in the name =   I own this coin. Full disclosure/transparency

Hey eventually I can do that but I feel like right now more transparency is needed in the MN sector of PoS coins. I would love to cover all PoS eventually but that will be a pretty large effort. Hopefully some individuals can join forces with me to do something like that. Thanks for the suggestion!

To assist with the transparency and DYR of masternode coins I formed a masternode grading sheet that takes into account several factors. Looking to add new coins weekly to the list. It also classifies high/medium and low risks. I had a scam coin list but I find that to be very accusatory. Please note if it is very high risk there is a high factor of dev dumping and abandoning the project.

Please let me know your thoughts on this list

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WKH9Uh0-kOEuGlESktOR-Gs6uOUPhA6eZzcQRYwrU-s/htmlview?usp=sharing&sle=true#

10k coins or $10k?

Reserved to identify whether this is a scam coin or not.

So now that it's less than .02 cents you want to keep talking shit? Enjoy sinking on the titanic. It's listed on three of the shittiest "exchanges" out there. Enjoy your Beetle coin that has 0 utility/use cases

Probably.

A lot of masternodes have been crashing in the dead of night actually.

Lmao this is a straight scam, they blocked me from discord and twitter when I tried to call it out. Censorship is so welcomed in crypto, let me tell ya....

Avoid this coin like the plague. The admins blocked me from the chat. I have people who said the mod/admin did not reply for a week. After the price tanked over 80-90% and people were panicking, devs were nowhere. Then they came back calling me names. This is a complete scamcoin See pictures https://imgur.com/oBWauI7 https://imgur.com/a/kWUxz https://imgur.com/a/2EC5e https://imgur.com/a/y6qzw

Hey guys, unfortunately invested into a masternode coin where the developer when AFK. I know many others that got jipped and we knew the risk. However trying to rescue funds and run a legitimate project. I'm looking for a guide on how to hard fork a coin. Can anyone help give me some starting points. Articles and videos do wonders for my learning.

(The coin is mouse...yeah I know...dumb coin).

Is the team revealed?

Hey guys,

I'm worried about all these masternode. I've read enough whitepapers to realize 80-90% of the projects are literally the same. The buyers and sellers are the same people. Buyers wanting to run a masternode and sellers are those who have a masternode that are selling the rewards. I've been through a lot of the websites it practically the same. Cosmos Coin took a dump on the state of masternodes which made me excited but then I checked their roadmap/features and they did nothing to distinguish themselves from their own criticisms.

The devs are almost always annonymous, so you do not know if its the same or a group of the same devs building a ponzi-ish scheme where they scoop up precious ETH/BTC for their shitcoin with high ROI. Great it has an amazing return but why? The projects are not revolutionary. I know 90% of your masternode whitepapers/roadmaps:

1: Listing on cryptopia or some slightly less shittier exchange.

2. Build a mac/andriod wallet

3. Merchant integration

4. Debit card

That's literally it. Do these coins literally think that's all there is to crypto? If that's the case why would anyone not use DASH for all these purposes as it is lightning years ahead. I think these dev teams that create masternode coins need to start doing the following:

1) Reveal yourselves and show your credentials. You want us to trust you to buy your shitcoin then you need to show us some good faith.

2) Create a new feature that nobody else has or stop pretending like darksend/instantsend is unique to only your coin. That's a function of any masternode.

3) Create projects on the backend of your economy. Look at PHIL's currency (not shilling) for a second. They are building projects that will utilize their PHILS token, thus creating an actual use case for their own coin. You need to actually build a service/product that provides the investor with some value proposition.

Guys there's a lot of projects to tackle that masternodes would be great for, think of atomic swaps, DEXs, platforms, ect.

Heed these warnings or I fear:

Once people realize the only utility of your coin is to get a high ROI and merchants/card companies don't give a shit about 90% of the shit masternode coins out there the price is going to jump off a cliff that it cannot recover from. By the time you reach that point (talking to devs) you will have lost the trust of your community that you worked so hard on. Let's do a better overall job on these coins which have a great backbone. Let's stop creating mindless ponzis.

Good projects with Masternodes:

DASH, PIVX, SMART, ALQO, WAGERR, PHILS, SEND, ESCROW, ZCOIN, INNOVA

Lol you take a shot at all other masternodes but do nothing to distinguish yourself from other shit masternodes. What's so special about ya'll? Same features, yawn.
