The TRBO block reward phase just ticked over 300,000 and that means we've entered the highest block phase reward period for TRBO, ever!
Each block is now worth 5,500 TRBO ... with Masternodes getting 3,850 of that. After we tick over 400,000 blocks it will start to head down again.
I thought it was worth summarising the options you have if you are looking to host TRBO masternodes, either partially or fully.
If you have PART of a TRBO masternode and would like to host a "slot" on a shared node:
1) Stakecube is one option. They host over 50 TRBO Masternodes and slots cost just 4% of your rewards so it's the easiest option by far. However, Stakecube is insanely popular, as is TRBO on Stakecube, so it can be difficult to grab a slot as new nodes are created as they get snapped in up seconds.
2) Your second shared slot option is Trittium. Each shared TRBO masternode on Trittium costs €4, and you pay whatever share you take of that cost. For example if you have 1,000,000 (one million) TRBO and use the Instant Node option on Trittium, you'll pay €0.80 per month. If you have 2,500,000 TRBO you'd take 50% of the node and pay 50% of the fee, ie €2/month. One thing to note is that Trittium does not factor in the real price of TRBO when showing its value unfortunately, so please DYOR. Trittium curently hosts 4 TRBO shared nodes.
If you have enough TRBO for a FULL masternode (5,000,0000) and would like to host a full node:
1) Stakecube will very soon be an option via its NodeCube solution. Price is yet to be revlealed but it should be competitive.
2) Trittium is also an option here. A full node hosted by Trittium costs €1.79 per month which equates to US$1.99. Not a bad deal given TRBO returns about $7/month in rewards at the time of writing this article, so you net $5 per month. Trittium currently hosts 1 TRBO "cold node".
3) Pecunia is a populiar option and hosts a number of full TRBO nodes. The monthly cost is $0.99 so your return per month is $6 at the time of writing.
4) The final option is to host the MN yourself on a dedicated VPS. We recommend Contabo (ref link which benefits our dev, Spy). Choose their €4.99 per month plan (VPS S SSD) and you'll be able to host not only one TRBO node but many, plus any other MNs you might have collateral for. Then, follow our guide on Github to use the MN installation script. Hosting your own VPS is more advanced and only really beneficial if you have multiple to host, but if you are into MNs and have some technical proficiency then this can be your best option.
If you want to buy more TRBO to help get to a full node, your options are:
1) Stakecube Exchange
2) Altilly Exchange
3) Altmarkets Exchange
That is a brief overview of your options currently. We are always available via Discord, Telegram or Twitter to help. Happy staking!
