- | This is against the principles that Bitcoin initially put into the world. The entire idea of the Bitcoin system, was to be totally decentralized and put the power in the hands of the people. The way things are going now in Bitcoin and many other projects, is the exact opposite of these ideals. Qortal aims to go back to the original Bitcoin concepts, putting the power solely in the hands of the users on the network, and maintaining a very strong network with full nodes spread out across the globe. | ||

- | ===Minting Quick Bullets=== | ||

- | * Minting **does NOT reward you based on QORT coin held**, but by simply verifying you are a **legit full node and online**. | ||

- | * The limitation of creation of minting accounts, is a security feature. | ||
- | * The period of running a node to become a level 1 is set at 7200 blocks (after obtaining sponsorship). | ||
- | * Other portions of the system are possible to change in the future as well. | ||
- | * The system VERIFIES online minters, utilizing the minting keys. So you MUST STAY ONLINE to be rewarded. | ||
- | * The whole point of minting, is to GROW AND MAKE EXTREMELY STRONG, the Qortal Network. | ||
- | * Only a node that is YOUR NODE, can be used as a minting node. You cannot access the assignment of minting keys without having full localhost access to the node you're attempting to assign keys on. | ||
- | * Each 2 level ' | ||
- | * As your level goes up, you change level tiers, and your shared percentage increases. | ||
