About projectThe main purpose of the application is to give masternode operators (MNOs) the ability to send the start masternode command through an easy to use a graphical user interface if the masternode collateral is controlled by a hardware wallet such as Trezor, KeepKey or Ledger.
Dash masternodes are full nodes which are incentivized by receiving a share of the block reward as payment in return for the tasks they perform for the network, of which the most important include participation in InstantSend and PrivateSend transactions. In order to run a masternode, apart from setting up a server which runs the software, you must dedicate 1000 Dash as collateral, which is "tied up" in your node as long as you want it to be considered a masternode by the network. It is worth mentioning that the private key controlling the funds can (and for security reasons, should) be kept separately from the masternode server itself.
A server with the Dash daemon software installed will operate as a Dash full node, but before the rest of the network accepts it as a legitimate masternode, one more thing must happen: the person controlling the node must prove that they are also in control of the private key to the node's 1000 Dash collateral. This is achieved by sending a special message to the network (start masternode message), signed by this private key.
This action can be carried out using the Dash Core reference software client. As can be expected, this requires sending 1000 Dash to an address controlled by the Dash Core wallet. After the recent increase in the value of Dash and a burst in the amount of malware distributed over the Internet, you do not have to be paranoid to conclude that keeping large amounts of funds in a software wallet is not the most secure option. For these reasons, it is highly recommended to use a hardware wallet for this purpose.
