Network Distribution Strength Award

Network Distribution Strengthen Award (NDS-A)

A reward for full-node operators

The BURST Marketing Fund (BMF) operates the Network Distribution Strengthen Award (NDS-A) program to encourage the operation of full nodes and keeping nodes up-to-date with the latest software.  It is funded by the community and paid daily.

To earn NDS-A rewards, open the brs.properties file located in the installation folder under “conf” (use note pad if a program is requested).  Locate the following items, set the values, and then save and close the file.  You will receive rewards in Burstcoin anytime your node qualifies.

  • Install or update to the latest version of BRS.  BRS is Burstcoin’s full node software.
  • Set P2P.myPlatform = your Burstcoin account in RS format:  (example: BURST-NMEA-GRHZ-BRFE-5SG6P)   (awards will be paid to this account)
  • Set P2P.shareMyAddress = yes
  • Set”P2P.Port = 8123
  • Allow your node to run continuously

The settings above are located in a text file inside of the conf folder.  Close BRS, open brs.default, locate and change the values as necessary, and then save the file.

The award is paid each time a node has a qualifying uptime percentage, uses the latest version of the software, and is online at the time of the daily distribution.

 

Note:  Qualifying nodes must have a latency of less than 1000ms.

Please note:  Reward amounts and qualifying standards such as wallet version and uptime percentage are subject to change and are set by the program operators (currently the Burst Marketing Fund).
