SPMT

SPMT: Secure Pivx Masternode Tool is a software to securely manage multiple PIVX masternodes while keeping the collateral safely stored on Ledger Nano S hardware wallets.

Running a PIVX masternode usually requires setting up two PIVX full nodes:

1. the Masternode, that runs 24/7 (usually on a VPS) and holds no funds

2. the Control Wallet, that holds the collateral and does not need to be always on-line.
   It is used only to spend rewards, to vote on proposals, or to send a message (signed with the key of the collateral) to activate the remote node when it needs to be started.

SPMT allows the user to store the collateral on a Ledger Nano hardware wallet and replaces the control wallet, allowing the user:

• to sign with the collateral private key the start-message for the remote node and broadcast it.
• to spend masternode rewards without inadvertently including the collateral.
• to interact with the PIVX governance system reviewing proposals and budgets, and casting votes.

The tool connects to the PIVX blockchain through public remote servers but it's also possible to use a local running PIVX full node as RPC server or add customized remote servers.
