Hellar community members will offer masternode hosting services. This service can be realized securely without the customer ever giving up control of the 1000 HEL required for collateral. For security reasons, it is highly recommended to keep the collateral on a hardware wallet when taking advantage of a hosting service. A list of masternode hosting services will be available soon.
This documentation is intended for operators managing nodes on behalf of owners. If you provide an IP address and port of a synchronized full node with your masternodeblsprivkey entered in the hellar.conf file to the masternode owner, it will appear in the valid masternode set immediately after they submit the protx register_submit command as described above. If the full node is not running, or if the owner submits 0 for the ipAndPort, then the node will be registered in a PoSe-banned state. In this case, the operator will need to issue a ProUpServTx transaction to update the service features and register the masternode.
The ProRegTx submitted by the owner also specifies the percentage reward for the operator. It does not specify the operator’s reward address, so a ProUpServTx is also required to claim this reward by specifying a Hellar address. If the reward is not claimed, it will be paid to the owner in full.
