主節點¶
達世幣最著名的一點是，它是第一個專注於匿名和交易速度的加密貨幣。許多人不知道的是，這些功能是在稱為主節點的專用服務器網絡之上實現的，這產生了傳統區塊鏈所不具備的許多令人興奮的功能。這些功能包括匿名和即時交易，以及通過每月預算和投票來管理達世幣網絡的開發。這本身就是加密世界中的第一個，並且主節點是實現達世幣所提供的私隱和速度所必需的。
This documentation focuses on understanding the services masternodes provide to the network, but also includes guides on how to run a masternode, using either a hosting provider or by setting up and maintaining your own hosting solution. The primary requirement to run a masternode on the Dash network is 1000 DASH. This is known as the collateral, and cannot be spent without interrupting operation of the masternode. The second requirement is the actual server running the Dash masternode software.
選項 1: 主節點託管
Since operating your own server requires a certain level knowledge of blockchains and Linux server operating systems, several community members offer dedicated hosting solutions for a fee. Taking advantage of these services means the user only needs to provide the masternode collateral and pay the hosting fee in order to receive payment from the block reward. See these pages for information on how to set up a hosted masternode.
選項 2: 自行營運主節點
Users with a deeper understanding (or curiosity) about the inner workings of the Dash network may choose to operate their own masternode on their own host server. Several steps are required, and the user must assume responsibility for setting up, securing and maintaining both the server and collateral. See these pages for information on how to set up a self-operated masternode.
