However, becoming a minter on the QORT chain is going to be relatively simple and 'quick' at first, until the necessary steps and time are increased as the platform grows...
So, even those who for one reason or another miss the transition burn date, will still be able to become a minter during initial phase 1 of the launch, and start earning QORT in that fashion.
As the launch continues, and the next phases are completed, earning QORT in multiple other ways, and other accounts capable of leveling for larger reward and influence will be implemented.
What are the requirements for using a minting account?
I mean could it be possible to mint from a local home PC with this account without having a static IP address?
What about VPS , would it be secure enough to setup the account on a remotely hosted VPS and mint from there?
This 5W device not only contains a ton of off-chain function, tor gateway, and extremely secure wireless router, but also will be pre-setup with QORT, and all other services, allowing you to run a low-power device as your minting account, thus being rewarded without having to run a full computer, and staying online by simply keeping the device connected to the internet. Whether you use it as your actual router or not, you can make use of all of the device's functionality.
Is it required for the device to be plugged into internet the whole time?
Is it required to have a static public IP address when using a device to mint?
I ask this because lot of internet service providers do not offer static IP or they charge a lot for obtaining one.
In case the users are not owning a static IP they get disconnected at least once within 24 hour period an the IP changes then.
Can you tell me more about shipping?
Are you shipping this devices from US worldwide?
I ask because in this case there could be a requirement to pay some customs tax which could actually double the price of your
device when purchased (shipped) outside of US.
Thanks.
- you do not need a static IP in order to mint, you will simply issue a reward share transaction which in turn places your node into a queue that verifies internet by issue of a timestamp that needs to be verified within a certain amount of time. it doesn't require anything more aside from the initial enabling of the minting, which requires either being a QORA forger, or being sponsored by a level 5 or higher account or a founder for an initial period of 5 days.
your node simply needs to be sync'd, connected to the net, and 'enabled' with the special transaction.
- again static IP is not necessary. internet connectivity, blockchain sync, and issuing a specific transaction one time to be enabled once your account is already minting-enabled.
- minters can have brief lapses in internet connectivity by design, to allow for PC to update, etc... so do not worry if you have a brief loss of connectivity, as long as you're back online and going within 5 min, you will not lose credit for being online.
-shipping for the device I've set at 15$ for US people, 25 for anywhere else, however if you believe it could be cheaper to you in some way just let me know and if so I'll have no issue refunding the extra.
eventually we will have multiple shipping locations so can potentially modify the prices further but initially my location will be doing the majority of the outgoing shipments. until we obtain too many orders for my location to keep up with.
as far as customs, if you know of a method to ship to your location in cheaper fashion, we can discuss it if you make a purchase.
let me know if you need anything else.
