Running a masternode is profitable and fun!  

 A masternode is a dedicated computer, vps or rasberry pi device running our software which can be downloaded from Github.

Masternodes host a copy of the blockchain and help the network function. The masternode system was created in an effort to remove mining, distribute new coins in a fair manner, and save power.  The power savings as a result of this system makes participation in BitF more economical for the masternode operator.

Unlike mining - a masternode operator needs to buy BitF at market and transfer it off exchange in order to "collateralize" a node.  This is typically done with a Windows wallet.  The collateral is "locked" while the masternode is active - but it can be unlocked and transferred out at anytime.

The collateral system provides the BitF network with the opportunity to build a dedicated group of operators who will strengthen our network.  Until we have reached our total supply of 25m coins, running a masternode is an easy way to receive the bulk of the reward.

BitF is a Proof-of-stake coin - simply holding it offline in our  wallet provides the ability to earn 25% of all new coins minted.  This is the easiest way to earn BitF and least technical!

Masternodes are entitled to 75% of a new coins minted.  Setting up a masternode can be a fun project. It's the best way to earn and grow with BitF.
