A masternode is a server connected to the network which guarantees a certain minimum level of performance and functionality to perform certain tasks. Masternodes are paid for this service and require a minimum amount of coins to set up.

These top 5 masternodes under $1000 are based on ROI, total number of nodes on the network, and do NOT include coins running on an old codebase like PIVX , Chaincoin, or Crave.

You can buy most of these coins on Cryptopia or Nova:
