We originally took it from the word Divvy, which means “Divide up and Share.” It can also be an acronym for Decentralized Intuitive Value Initiative.
What is a Masternode?
A masternode is a program that’s on your computer, or on a cloud server you rent, that connects with other masternodes. It communicates continually with them and keeps a full copy of the Divi blockchain, constantly checking that it’s correct, and adding new blocks. By putting your coins into a masternode, you get rewarded with more newly created coins for helping to run the network.
How many DIVI are required for a Masternode?
Divi is the first to offer a 5 Tiered Masternode system. The levels of ownership are: 1000 Coins - Level 1: Copper 3000 Coins - Level 2: Silver +5% 10,000 Coins - Level 3: Gold +10% 30,000 Coins - Level 4: Platinum +15% 100,000 Coins - Level 5: Diamond + 20%
If I have 3000 DIVI, what’s better, 3 copper masternodes or 1 silver masternode?
A silver masternode requires the same number of coins as 3 coppers. But the chance to win a block award it 5% better. However, 3 silver masternodes gives you 3 chances to win the lottery blocks, compared with only one.
When do you estimate the alpha platform will be ready?
Although the protocol is currently under development and in pre-alpha state… we try not to speculate on the exact dates too much, as development can be pretty unpredictable. That being said, our roadmap is on track for a Q4 2017 alpha release.
