It’s been a while since we updated our Yield Nodes review but to be honest there hasn’t been much for us to actively report on.
We are still waiting for them to complete the transition outlined in our previous update in October (see below) to “Yield Nodes Pro.”
This is essentially a plan to switch to using real world assets to earn a yield from rather than previous activities such as mining and masternoding. Existing users have been told they will have their credit balances in YieldNodes converted into NFTs, which give a subscription right to shares in the assets Yield Nodes acquires.
There is a video update here giving more details on the plans.
In summary the latest info is that:
1. As per the roadmap, the NFT launch of the certificates of the assets will take place between March 15th and 31st, with the launch on April 1st. This will replace the Claim Sales system, which will end on March 15th. News regarding this launch will be sent via email.
2. They say they have more than 200 asset providers committed so far, with a yearly turnover volume of over 380 million.
In all honesty it is difficult to know what to make of all this until the new Yield Nodes Pro is up and running and we can see how much our yields might be – presuming things do actually work out and the whole thing doesn’t fall apart of course.
In the meantime we just have to sit on our hands, but at least we managed to get our original investment out plus some profit, so we have derisked our position. This is something we always aim to do in a project like this which is high risk and the events here have underlined the importance of doing so.
Yield Nodes – Results Update
16th October 2022
Well no sooner had we done our recent Yield Nodes update than some bombshell news landed from the Yield Nodes team.
It came as a real shock to us but here are some extracts from the e-mail that landed in our inbox this week:-
“Due to the current “crypto winter” and the general problematic economic situation (war in Ukraine, high inflation, high energy prices, weakness of the Euro etc.) we are forced to hedge our virtual assets with real and sustainable assets and to provide and manage them in a decentralised way.
Therefore, with immediate effect, we will restructure YieldNodes into YieldNodes Pro to ensure hedging by real assets and to ensure that our shared values are preserved in the long term.
The repeated blocking of exchanges like Binance and Changelly (of which are both still blocked) and the difficulties in lending our assets show us that it is time to implement the DECNOMY strategy as soon as possible and tie the value of our coins to real assets.
The general selling pressure has a negative impact especially on the prices of assets that are only based on monetary values and we currently have hardly any chance to cash out our profits from the Master Nodes. In addition, there are constant attacks on our coins, combined with the insubstantial statement that we are a scam. All this leads to the fact that we must immediately realign our strategy in the direction of DECENOMY.
We will implement this strategy through YieldNodes Pro. As many know, this has always been our plan, we are only bringing it forward because of the current situation and are starting the immediate implementation.
We currently have enough reserves, which we are now using to activate YieldNodes Pro. In doing so, we will integrate the existing and still to be developed real assets into our DECENOMY network and make them available to our partners via YieldNodes Pro directly or pooled as an asset.
The assets to be made available are available to DECENOMY through contractual agreements with various partners who strongly believe in our strategy and fully support us in its implementation.
These are:
– 2 hubs in Germany and Malta
– A large photovoltaic power plant in Germany (11.5 MW)
– Several photovoltaic power plants in Italy and Germany (>2 MW)
– A large photovoltaic power plant in Iran (23 MW)
– An HTC plant in Germany connected to all patents (https://htcycle.ag/en/about-us_8)
– A music publisher and streaming provider in Germany
– The Mobolith project with which we can charge electric cars without a charging network and which also compensates for the disadvantages of the very volatile power supply from the sun and wind.
– Various residential, commercial and social properties, building plots and forests where we focus on sustainable construction and management.
The value of these real assets amounts to well over 300 million euros. The return on these assets is extremely high, but also sustainable. More detailed information with locations, economic and technical data will follow.
To be able to implement this, we will convert payments made and credit balances in YieldNodes into NFTs, which give a subscription right to shares in these assets.
Until these NFTs can be traded, the contractual minimum interest rate of 5% per quarter will be ensured. After that, in a first stage, we will create a possibility for these NFTs to be traded (Q2/2023). In a second stage, based on YieldNodes Pro (Q4/2023), we will provide a portal that will allow our partners to convert the NFTs into equity investments and receive the returns from the associated assets.”
So a pretty dramatic turn of events there. We had no real warning or sense this was coming, although reading between the lines it seems clear that the crypto bear market has had a lot to do with it.
It must have become pretty difficult for them (or anyone for that matter) to turn a profit in the current market and they also say they had problems with liquidity and cashing out assets.
The switch to physical or “real world” assets is a very significant change however and is not one that was hinted at as far as we are aware.
It does say they will continue paying out at 5% per quarter, which is good news if it is honored, but we will have to wait and see on that front.
In the meantime we would not be joining the project now if you are new and we certainly won’t be putting any more funds in. We are actually relieved we recently took a big chunk of funds out in fact. It shows once again the importance of taking profits when you can and to always cash out your original investment as fast as you can in something high risk like this.
Anyway, things are very much up in the air now and we will have to just wait and see how it all plays out over the next few months and what the new structure looks like. We’ll bring you any further news as soon as we get it.
In the meantime there’s a Youtube video here where the founder talks some more about what has happened and the plans going forward.
Yield Nodes – Results Update
10th October 2022
Yield Nodes is a cryptocurrency scheme involving masternoding and related crypto projects. It pays out monthly yields to investors based on the revenue generated through its activities.
In opening our review we expressed concerns this could be a scam, based on the high returns claimed and having seen so many crypto-related scams over the years. As time has gone on it seems less likely this is a scam (although cannot be ruled out), but certainly it is high risk which the company themselves acknowledge (please see more below from update of 8th November 2021).
In any event, the returns over the last two months have been very good, with a profit of 6.1% made for August and 5.3% for September.
In August we decided to make a further withdrawal, this time for €1100. It felt like a good time to make another withdrawal as we had crossed the €2000 profit threshold and wanted to crystalize some more of our gains.
Our total gains now stand at €2316 to the end of September from an initial deposit of €1061 in December 2020. We have withdrawn €2260 so are now not only “playing with the house’s money” but have banked over 200% profit aswell.
You can view full results here.
In terms of news from the Yield Nodes team, the good news is that YieldNodes App was recently ranked #6 in Finance on Google Play!
The YieldNodes iOS App will also become available later this month, but remember to ONLY download via links on yieldnodes.com in order to stay safe from hackers.
YieldNodes is also now 3 years old!
YieldNodes was started 3 years ago in October 2019 …from a small noding and staking operation in Malta. They have grown into an organization of 50+ people with physical Hubs in Malta and Germany, 20+ coin projects, exchange partnerships, and are constantly transforming and reinventing the business through difficult times.
Please note for October only they are lowering the minimum initial deposit from 500 Euros to just 100 Euros, so it’s even easier to start an account.

As time has gone on it seems less likely this is a scam (although cannot be ruled out), but certainly it is high risk which the company themselves acknowledge (please see more below from update of 8th November 2021).
In any event, the returns for July were excellent with a profit of 9.2% made for the month, which equated to €174.
That’s the biggest single monthly return we’ve had since February 2021, so was very welcome.
Our total gains now stand at €2206 to the end of July from an initial deposit of €1061 in December 2020. We have withdrawn €1160 so are now “playing with the house’s money” as it were.

In terms of news from the Yield Nodes team, mobile Apps for YieldNodes as well as for masternoding and staking are in the works, but NOT yet live!
One App will allow you to manage your YieldNodes account on the go and replace all these scammy Apps that keep popping up in the stores trying to lure unsuspecting victims.
The other will allow you to hold all your Decenomy coins in a wallet where you will be the sole owner of your privacy keys PLUS be able to masternode on the go, and thus diversify a little from YieldNodes itself 🙂
However… neither are live yet, so please be patient and stick with yieldnodes.com for now!
DO NOT believe any claims in Apps or emails!
In other news, the audit took place last month, and concluded favourably. 10 people were invited, and they apparently agreed in concluding that Yieldnodes and Decenomy are both solvent and in good standing.
As we have stressed about previous “audits,” this is not akin to a proper audit from a chartered accountancy firm but it still better than you get from most cryptocurrency companies so is a good thing for them to be doing.

In any event, the returns continue to be positive with a profit of 6.1% made in June, which equated to €108.73.
That’s pretty impressive to still be delivering over 6% profit in the midst of a crypto market meltdown, so much respect to the team for that. We don’t know if they can keep it going but for now we’ll certainly take it.
Our total gains now stand at €2032 to the end of June from an initial deposit of €1061 in December 2020. We have withdrawn €1160 so are now “playing with the house’s money” as it were.
You can view full results here.
In terms of news from the Yield Nodes team, they’ve implemented a new feature that allows people to buy up funds from emergency withdrawals.
For example, if someone decides to leave early, the penalty for an emergency payout is 25% (not new, it’s always been this way).
That Emergency Payout is now put up for sale, and the lucky buyer gets 20% of the original withdrawal as a bonus, with the other 5% of the original withdrawal flowing back into the YieldNodes Pool for the benefit of everyone.
It’s a good idea and should benefit those using it and the wider membership.
This month it is also the “audit” of Yield Nodes’ funds. This means that 10 Auditors from around the world (5 raffled, 5 hand-picked) will be visiting the Yield Nodes offices in Malta to verify the funds held in their accounts.
As we have stressed about previous “audits,” this is not akin to a proper audit from a chartered accountancy firm but it still better than you get from most cryptocurrency companies so is a good thing for them to be doing.

As time has gone on it seems less likely this is a scam (although cannot be ruled out), but certainly it is high risk which the company themselves acknowledge (please see more below from update of 8th November 2021).
In any event, the returns continue to be solid with a profit of 6.5% made in May, which equated to €108.78.
That’s slightly down on previous months, which were more in the 7-8% per month range, but it is only slightly down and is actually pretty decent considering the crash in the crypto markets at the moment.
Our total gains now stand at €1924 to the end of May from an initial deposit of €1061 in December 2020. We have withdrawn €1160 so are now “playing with the house’s money” as it were.

In terms of news from the Yield Nodes team, they recently stressed again the high risk nature of the project in general and crypto in particular and that their focus is on pairing their coins with real life values and projects… basically, the opposite direction that Defi is currently going.
Their aim to bring their coins to the real economy has already begun as they finally secured an agreement and revealed their partner country.
That country is the small democracy of Sao Tome and Principe. Yield Nodes will be working with them over the coming years to bring their “lighthouse” projects to fruition, and to show that a managed coin network with real assets is a better solution than inflated Fiat money.
The Audit!
They have been running a raffle for members to go out and be part of an audit of their assets out in Malta and the process has now closed.
Yield Nodes will provide proof of coin balances, show the Decenomy offices, and the HUGE “Malta Hub” area under construction which will allow visitors to come and experience Decenomy while bridging the gap to the real world. So that should be good experience for those who are lucky enough to be selected.

In terms of news from the Yield Nodes team, there are a few updates this month:
War in Ukraine
The Ongoing War has put them a little behind schedule because they’ve tried to help people as much as they think Decenomy and YieldNodes can because they say their goal is (and always was) to be a force of good in this world.
They are running a fund which people can donate to for the victims of the war.
YieldNodes/Decenomy Funds Audit
They still plan to do at least one audit per year – ideally, two.
Tentatively, the next one will be in June/July and they will be doing their usual random script raffle amongst all interested parties (invitations will be extended to every YieldNoder in May please don’t inquire yet!), plus they’ll be re-inviting a few familiar faces for continuity.
Stay tuned 🙂
Friendly Takeover: Flits
Decenomy takes over flits its wallets and also the team will stay as it is (need great Programmers!). Their wallet technology and masternoding capabilities will be very beneficial for further growth and mobile wallets for the Decenomy Coins!

In terms of news from the Yield Nodes team, they report that they had a team meeting in Malta at the Decenomy / YieldNodes offices, and are happy to unveil the construction of what is hopefully the first of many Decenomy Hubs. It will be a place where staking and masternoding is explained, people can get together, get funding for coin projects, learn to use this new economy, get help and network aka their gateway to the real world (back to the roots!)
Malta will be the first, but many more are to follow – expanding the decenomy and coin usage all across europe (at first) and then the world!
So that sounds pretty cool.
Also Yield Nodes are offering to match donations 100% from their own funds towards the Ukraine crisis. The feature is available in users’ accounts in the withdrawal section. A nice touch from them.

Just a note to say that our returns a little below the official ones as we were a bit late reinvesting our returns from December.
The official returns were 8%, so very little difference really but just worth pointing out in case you are involved and so don’t miss out.
The team provided some recent updates:
– Lots of updates to the Decenomy Coins by The Decenomy IT Services team in Portugal (Security and Fixes)
– Aquisition of MODIC Financial Coin and rebranding to MOBIC for future growth
– Mobile Wallets close to Beta for all Decenomy Coins. (SOON!)
– Renown Developer signed for Ledger Hardware wallet support for the DECENOMY Coins and eventual cold staking capabilities
So sounds like lots going on and more news is apparently coming soon, so we will keep you posted on that in our next update.

They say they are still getting very high numbers of support requests, and this is affecting their ability to grow.
They’re therefore going to streamline the FAQ and their support system, after which they’ll be implementing a strict policy that questions answered in the FAQ will not be answered by email.
Anyway, last year was a very good year for them with a total profit of 124% (without compounding), so we are happy with our returns and glad to be playing risk-free now.
Whether the returns this year can match that remains to be seen but more of the same would be very welcome.

Yield Nodes recently conducted another audit, where they invited members to come over to Malta and verify their wallets, staking balances, the nodes at work, how much capital is allocated to the various chains, the balancing, the tech, etc in a transparent manner.
As stated previously, whilst this should not be seen as a proper audit a company would get from a chartered accountant, it is still better than you get from most cryptocurrency projects so it’s good to see this level of transparency.
Yield Nodes themselves stress however that they are:
- NOT regulated or supervised by any financial entity yet
- STILL a VERY RISKY participation model, and things can always go sour
- NOT trading Cryptos and NOT a Bitcoin pegged investment
- By NO MEANS a bank account or retirement fund!
So they are being clear about the level of risk here and it’s important people bear this in mind before depositing any funds into the scheme.

However, as mentioned previously, these “audits” are no substitute for the real thing by a certified firm of accountants. They are better than nothing though and more than you get from most cryptocurrency projects.
In other news, they are working hard at a feature that will let members gift away balances (to friends and family, etc), or to help fund less fortunate people. They are also looking to add the ability to deposit via USDT (tether) as this has been requested frequently.

Interestingly they paid out the Bitcoin withdrawals slightly early this month, on the 5th September rather than the 8th. That was to mark exactly two years since they set up the project.
Hopefully it will still be going strong in two years’ time, but as we warned with projects like these it is better to be cautious as risks are high and who knows where they will be a year or two from now.

In less happy news, Yield Nodes suffered a cyber attack this morning and apparently some users got several SMS requests as the hackers tried to brute-force their way into client accounts.
Yield Nodes say the attacks have been mitigated and nothing (information or otherwise) was stolen, but they urge people to always set up the MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) inside their accounts –
Preferably using Google Authenticator as that’s a better choice over SMS due to SMS being quite unreliable depending on your country and location. (Also make sure if you access YieldNodes via PC to setup the 2fa Google authenticator on a cellphone so its best protected on 2 sources!).
We would certainly echo those thoughts and advise using 2FA for Yield Nodes and any other accounts you have with money in them. Scams and hacking are rife these days so it’s important to do everything you can to protect yourself.

In opening our review we expressed concerns this could be a scam, based on the high returns claimed and having seen so many crypto-related scams over the years. However, as time has gone on we have a little more hope this is genuine, although we cannot draw any definitive conclusions at this stage.
Just a quick update to say we have received our withdrawal requested back in June. It came through today as expected.
The final amount was €1060, which was a little less than the €1108 that is recorded on our account, but the difference may be due to transaction fees.
In any event, that means after our initial deposit of €1061 at the start of our trial and a withdrawal of €100 back in April, we are now just over €100 up in clear profit so are playing with the “house’s money.” And we still have €797 in our Yield Nodes account.

We would say at some stage these returns are going to have to drop as they can’t keep paying out 10% per month before the compounding element would make it mathematically unfeasible.
For the time being though we certainly can’t complain and will keep enjoying these returns as long as they last.

In opening our review we expressed concerns this could be a scam, based on the high returns claimed and having seen so many crypto-related scams over the years. However, as time has gone on we have a little more hope this is genuine, although we cannot draw any definitive conclusions at this stage.
In any event, the returns continue to be very good, with a profit of 9.6% made in July. On a weekly basis that was made up of 2.1% for the first week, 1.4% for the second week, 2% for the third week and 4.1% from the final week of the month.
Our total gains now stand at €963.79 to the end of July from an initial deposit of €1061 in December last year. So we are pretty close to having doubled our money.

Just to note again that we are awaiting a withdrawal of €1108 which is due to be paid on the 8th August. We will report back again if/when that has been received.
In terms of news from Yield Nodes themselves, the DECENOMY Group has grown and the following coins have been added to the ecosystem:
ONE WORLD (OWO)
SUVERENO (SUV)
CRYPTOSAGA (SAGA)
MONK (MONK)
ESKA (ESK)
BEACON (BECN)
They are hoping to do another “members’ funds audit” (giving insight into the company’s holdings to show that they’re liquid, well funded, and a profitable operation) by October.
They are also aiming to be registered in Switzerland as a regulated entity by the end of this year or early next year, but these things do take time so there are no guarantees on that.

In any event, the returns continue to be very good, with a profit of 5.5% made so far in July. On a weekly basis that has been made up of 2.1% for the first week, 1.4% for the second week and 2% for the third week of the month.
Our total gains stand at €893.98 (not including July’s profit which hasn’t been paid yet) from an initial deposit of €1061 in December last year.
You can view full results here.
We mentioned last time we had requested a withdrawal of €1108. Unfortunately there are long wait times on withdrawals, so we are not due to receive this until 8th August.
After we receive that though we will then be playing “with the house’s money” as we would have recouped more than our original investment.
Obviously our monthly returns will now be lower, as we will now be noding just €728 rather than the €1640 we were previously.
Our aim is to keep building this up though gradually and then see where we are in a few months.

That means our total gains stand at €893.98 from an initial deposit of €1061 in December last year.

We mentioned last time we were approaching the six month mark when we could withdraw our original investment and we are pleased to say that has now passed and we have requested the withdrawal.
That means when that is processed next month (presuming it all goes through okay), we will then be playing risk-free. In fact we will be in profit overall as we previously withdrew €100 back in April.
It’s a really good feeling to be able to take out our original investment and just play with “the house’s money” as it were from next month. That had always been our aim, but sometimes it isn’t possible with crypto projects like this because they go bust before you reach that stage.
Fortunately Yield Nodes has lasted long enough for us to be able to now just sit back and see what kind of returns come in and make periodic withdrawals as and when it suits.
The only snag has been the withdrawal timings, which caught us out. We wanted to get the funds ready to withdraw (without actually withdrawing them), so moved funds to our withdrawable balance around a week ago.
Sadly though that seems to have meant we have lost the entire month’s profits on that portion of our balance, whereas we presumed it would just be up to the date we moved the balance. So it rather reduced our payout for June.
And now we have to wait until early August to receive our withdrawal of €1108, but such is life as they say.
Still, presuming everything goes through okay as we say, it will be a good outcome overall so can’t complain too much.

In opening our review below we expressed concerns this could be a scam, based on the high returns claimed and having seen so many crypto-related scams over the years. However, as time has gone on we have a little more hope that this is genuine, although we cannot draw any definitive conclusions on that yet.
In any event, the returns continue to be very good, with a 7.9% profit generated in May.
That means our total gains stand at €809 profit from an initial deposit of €1061 in December last year.
You can view full results here.
It is worth noting that we are now nearly at the six month mark at which we can withdraw our initial investment.
We haven’t decided yet what we will do, but in all likelihood will withdraw a portion of our funds soon so we are close to playing “with the house’s money” as it were. That’s always a good idea in high risk schemes like this.
In terms of news from Yield Nodes themselves, they announced this week that you can now withdraw in Sapphire tokens. These will be slightly quicker than Bitcoin withdrawals, being processed on the 4th of the next month versus the 8th for Bitcoin.

However, as time has gone on we have a little more hope that this is genuine, although we cannot draw any definitive conclusions on that yet.
In any event, the returns continue to be very good, with a 3.4% profit generated for the first two weeks of May.
Our previous gains to the end of April stand at €680 profit from an initial deposit of €1061 in December last year.
The Yield Nodes team also posted an update following the Elon Musk-related controversy about the energy usage of Bitcoin, saying:-
“YieldNodes and the Decenomy network mostly operate hydro-powerered servers from German supplier Hetzner*, and percentage-wise, also consume a fraction of the power that Bitcoin is using – even in relation to size.
In addition, 90% of our coins use POS (proof of stake), which is much less energy-intensive than the old POW (proof of work) protocol.
On that front, we are making great strides towards reducing our energy footprint even further by offering Sapphire as an alternative (added) withdrawal option to Bitcoin, and are happy to announce that the feature integration should be complete in the next 1-2 weeks 🙂
In preparation, you can already download a Sapphire wallet from sappcoin.com…
…Sapphire is a consumer coin that can be exchanged for Amazon, Netflix, Android and Apple vouchers …and many, many more 🙂
Go to https://sappshopping.com/
As part of our ongoing efforts to de-couple from Bitcoin, you’ll see more and more integrations and projects as we grow and prosper.”
So some interesting news there regarding the Sapphire cryptocurrency and we expect to hear more about it from the Yield Nodes team in the coming weeks and months.

In any event, the returns continue to be excellent, with a 12.7% profit generated in April.
We have now made €680 profit from an initial deposit of €1061.
We are reinvesting our profits, apart from the €100 we withdrew in March/April. The option to reinvest allows you to really compound your returns and we are starting to see that now as our monthly returns are growing, with April producing a healthy €184.80.
In terms of news from Yield Nodes themselves, they say they are expanding and a major part of this expansion is Decenomy PLC, which is currently in the process of being incorporated. It will hopefully be operational soon, and the umbrella under which YieldNodes will operate.
Also if you are involved in Yield Nodes, make sure you enable 2FA (two factor authentication) on your account as there have apparently been some hacking attempts recently.

We have now made €513.37 profit from an initial deposit of €1061.
The good news is that the withdrawal of €100 we requested last month has now been processed and received in our crypto account. That was received today, 8th April, as scheduled.
The team reported today they are noding a new coin – https://malwarechain.com/ joins their group along with the developer team to strengthen DECENOMY, and will be added on YieldNodes soon!
They say there are also 3 other projects joining the DECENOMY umbrella – with details to follow soon.

However, as time has gone on we have a little more hope that this is genuine, although it is too soon to draw any definitive conclusions on that.
In terms of returns, they have continue to be superb with the following gains made in March so far:
- Week 1 profit: 2.3%
- Week 2 profit: 3.2%
- Week 3 profit: 2.3%
So it looks like we are on course for another month of around 10% gains to add to the 35% profit we have made so far.
We received an interesting e-mail from the Yield Nodes team recently which clarified some issues around what they do and how some people may be misunderstanding the project:-
“YieldNodes is NOT involved in trading, and YieldNodes is NOT an investment scheme or MLM, so its VERY important not to get mixed up about these things.
“Yieldnodes is solely a server rental program, and it’s crucially important to understand this point. We are all operating in an experimental market, and in a niche that did not even exist 5 years ago. There’s no telling where this journey will end up, but we pledge to stay transparent and honest in what we do. However, everyone involved in YieldNodes is part of the “image” portrayed, so stay ethical and grounded because YieldNodes is definitely not for everyone. That said, we understand how easy it is to get carried away and to be happy, positive and consistently high-fiving each other in the current market conditions, but it’s important to remain realistic by clearly portraying what YieldNodes actually is …and especially what it is not.”
Those clarifications are helpful because clearly there are some misunderstanding circulating about what Yield Nodes actually do – which as they clarify is a server rental program (masternoding) and not trading, investing or a MLM.
It’s also honest of them to admit that it’s experimental they don’t know where it will end up. As we have said in previous updates below, it might be that Yield Nodes is a genuine project and not a scam, but for one reason or another isn’t able to maintain the very high returns achieved to date.
In fact we would be surprised if they could maintain these returns in the long run as that would be quite exceptional. As they mention in the e-mail, there are very strong market conditions for crypto at the moment which is undoubtedly helping.
Anyway, all we can do for the moment is keep tracking things and enjoying these returns while they last.

However, as time has gone on we have a little more hope that this is genuine, although it is too soon to draw any definitive conclusions on that.
News has been encouraging though and certainly returns have been excellent.
We made a further €228 profit in February, which represented a stellar 19.2% growth.
That brings the total profit for our trial so far to €374 from a deposit of €1061 in December 2020.
One of the benefits of this platform is you can compound your gains, so the returns can really grow quite significantly. We have compounded most of our returns, but we also wanted to make a withdrawal to test if it all works okay. So we have made a withdrawal request of €100.
Unfortunately you don’t receive that withdrawal until later in the month or even early next month. This is because they need a lot of warning time as they use most of the funds for masternoding and their other crypto-related activities.
So we will aim to report on the progress of that withdrawal in our next update. Hopefully it will have come through by then.
In the meantime as we say the returns have been excellent but we can’t say for sure either way if this is genuine or not so a degree of caution is advised.

In opening our review below we expressed concerns this could be a scam, based on the high returns claimed and having seen so many crypto-related scams over the years.
It is early days in our review and too early to draw any conclusions on whether it is a scam or not. In terms of our results however, we have made a further €127.24 profit since our last update.
That brings the total profit for our trial so far to €145.89 from a deposit of €1061 in December 2020.
Interestingly they recently invited some outside figures to “audit” their results.
We put “audit” in inverted commas because this was not a proper audit by a regulated financial entity like KPMG or Deloitte. Rather they invited some website owners and Youtubers with an interest in forex/cryptocurrency to take a look at their wallets and balances and then compare those to the combined balances of Yield Nodes members.
Each of the auditors confirmed that the assets and wallets of Yield Nodes are higher in value than the combined balances of Yield Nodes members.
What to make of that? Well it’s good that they took this step and allowed some outside scrutiny of their assets. It’s certainly more than a lot of other cryptocurrency-related projects would allow.
At the same time, it doesn’t really mean very much in the grand scheme of things. We can’t be sure that the “auditors” were shown all balances of Yield Nodes members, nor that the company doesn’t have other debts or liabilities to service, nor that there isn’t some other key financial information that was omitted. As we say the only meaningful audit would be from a regulated financial authority like chartered accountants.
We have seen similar such “audits” before that have turned out to be complete hogwash – most notably a cryptocurrency scheme called Countinghouse that was supposedly a hedge fund trading forex and cryptocurrency with investors’ funds and making very good profits.
A few months later however the scheme collapsed with the owners apparently having run off with millions in investors’ funds and a lawsuit filed in the scammers’ native Australia. The “auditors” were another cryptocurrency-related company with no financial standing at all – the audit was essentially meaningless.
So you can’t really do much at this stage with regard to Yield Nodes other than see what happens. As we say the “audit” is better than nothing and at least shows they are open to scrutiny, but shouldn’t be taken as particularly meaningful and certainly can’t be compared to an audit that a company would receive from chartered accountants for example.

It is early days in our review and too early to draw any conclusions on whether it is a scam or not. In terms of our results however, we have made €18.65 in realised gain so far from a deposit of €1061.
That profit was for December and so far in January they claim to have made 2.3% profit in the first week, 2.6% in the second week and 3.3% in the third week. Presuming the final week is on par with those we should be looking at over 10% gain on the month.
Our understanding is that profits are paid at the end of the month and then you can reinvest that profit if you like, or withdraw it. So we will report in our next update on whether that payout was received and how much it was exactly.

In opening our review below we expressed concerns this could be a scam, based on the high returns claimed and having seen so many crypto-related scams over the years.
It is too early to tell if this is a scam or not, but a small encouraging sign is that they have been more transparent than a lot of other crypto schemes, releasing details of their masternoding returns – with their inhouse projects occupying Rank 1, 2 and 6 (Sapphire, Jackpot and Trittium) on the Best Performing Masternodes table.
In terms of our own returns, after depositing €1041 in mid-December we have made €18.65 profit so far. We have reinvested those profits in order to compound our gains and hopefully see some upward growth going forward.
Overall we would still treat this with caution. Even if it is not a scam (which we hope) they may not be able to maintain the high level of returns achieved last year of 250% (if compounding). They have set themselves a very high bar to sustain.
Yield Nodes – New Review
20th December 2020
If you are familiar with cryptocurrency then you have probably heard of mining. It is the process of minting new crypto coins using computer hardware and a network of servers.
There are two main problems with mining however: firstly, it is incredibly energy-intensive, using a massive amount of electricity to run all the computers and servers; and secondly that whilst mining was profitable initially (back in 2017-18), as more and more people got in on the action it left a smaller and smaller piece of the pie for everyone and in the end became unprofitable for the vast majority.
An alternative to traditional mining however is masternoding. This relies on a different approach to traditional mining, using a “proof of stake” method rather than a “proof of work.” It uses a lot less energy and is supposedly – at the moment at least – more profitable.
And that is what the service we are testing today specializes in – masternoding. They are called Yield Nodes and claim very high returns of 5-15% profit per month.
Now normally when we see those kind of claimed profits we instantly think “scam” and “ponzi scheme,” but there are a couple of reasons we have hopes this might not be just another such scheme.
Firstly we have been recommended this service from more than one reputable source who have done some due diligence and secondly the team behind it have been open and transparent about what they do and how they make their profit.
They explain that whilst masternoding is their principal activity, they also have a number of other cryptocurrency-related projects including resurrecting previously failed or dormant coins that still have potential and they hope will increase in price, as well as building partnerships with big crypto services.
As they explain themselves on the Yield Nodes website:-
“In essence, revenue is generated through a combination of master-noding, price gains and services that work in unison to leverage each other in their own ecosystem . Since inception, YieldNodes has not only grown considerably, but has also encompassed other areas to stabilize and leverage revenue. These include its own listed cryptocoin, its own decentralized exchange, and a crypto-denominated shopping area. Further services, cooperations and business cases are in progress.”
This combination of projects has produced returns of 147.4% over the 14 months since they started, or a 249.85% annual return if compounding.
So it’s interesting enough for us to least want to test out and see whether it’s genuine and can produce the kind of returns claimed, although we maintain a healthy dose of scepticism. This could still be a scam, or alternatively it might be genuine but the returns could gradually reduce over time as they did with mining a couple of years ago.
Anyway, it looks worth a try so we have deposited funds into Yield Nodes and will run a full review of the service here at TradestocksFX. There is a seven-day waiting period before they start masternoding with your deposited funds but otherwise we are good to go and will update progress here as we go along.
In the meantime you can check out Yield Nodes for yourself here.
