MASTERNODES

Masternode is simply a cryptocurrency full node or computer wallet that keeps the full copy of the blockchain in real-time, just like your have Bitcoin full nodes and is always up & running.

But masternodes are considerably different in their functionality than normal nodes.

They are different because they perform several other functions apart from just keeping the full blockchain and relaying blocks/transactions as a full node does.

Some of the special functions that these nodes perform are:

• Increasing privacy of transactions
• Doing instant transactions
• Participating in governance and voting
• Enable budgeting and treasury system in cryptos

These masternodes are not standalone but they are always communicating with other such nodes to make a decentralized network and are often referred in short form as MN.

Investing in a Masternode Coin is a roll of the dice because even though you may know the emission rate of a coin as the block chain progresses you can never predict how many other Masternodes you’ll be competing with for rewards.

Masternodes; Problems and Issues

Thanks to the internet, with the right tools any random Joe can create a coin and launch it with the right tools and implements. And as we both know, most of these "start-ups" masternode coins crash and burn the minute they hit the exchange. Few reasons for this can be:

• Poor Understanding of basic economics by the developers: Like I said, any dick and Harry can jump on a coin project and launch it without first understanding the economics involved in maintaining the viability of that coin. This will inevitably lead to bad decisions or at best no-good decisions that will lead to the downfall of that coin.
• Panic Selling: This is more commonly referred to as dumping. It occurs when investors or those who got it for free via airdrops, bounties and the like begin to dump the coin on exchange
• Oversupply of coins: This is the main problem affecting most new coins. In fact, every other problem eventually leads go ghost. Coin developers increase ROI continually in other to attract investors but ultimately it leads to an oversupply which results the coin dying under its own weight

To solve this problem, we would need a coin designed in such a way that reduces the amount of coins in circulation as time goes on.

CATO COIN

A team of hardworking developers have thought and worked out a solution to create the perfect masternode coin. They created a unique Blockchain technology that transforms the way in which Rewards and Collateral requirements are calculated. This blockchain is designed to link rewards and collateral requirements to the number of Masternodes, rather than
blockchain. Usually, masternode coins pre-set rewards on the progression of the block chain by ‘guessing’ how quickly Masternodes will be added over time when the coin is developed.

INCREASED VALUE FOREVER

Catocoin has a built-in algorithm designed to increase collateral requirements for new Masternodes as the number of Masternodes increases. This way it will require more coins to create a masternode on the Catocoin blockchain making the coin more expensive to purchase. This is a genuine system which will ensure that the price of catocoin constantly remains high. A good bargain if you ask me. Check out the rate at which the masternode collateral increases over time:

DUMPING? MEHHH!!

The nature of the catocoin is one designed to prevent any significant dump. This is because the collateral requires to create a masternode increases every 30 masternodes created, and it is highly likely that a node owner will spend more to create another masternode later on if he dumps now. This will incentivize masternode owners to maintain their nodes if they know what is good for them. Lol.

Furthermore, like all start-up coins, Catocoin will run bounty, discord and invite campaigns but will reward the bounty hunters in Btc rather than Catocoins so as to prevent dilution of the coins in the market.
