| **A:** You must become level 1 before you will earn from Minting QORT. In order to accomplish this, another minter of level 5 or higher, or a Qortal Founder, must issue you a ‘sponsorship key’ - you will run this key for 5 days (7200 blocks) and then you will reach level 1. After reaching level 1 you will create and assign your own ‘minting key’ to your node, which then allows you to earn by verifying yourself to the network and attempting to sign blocks into the blockchain, allowing the chain to continue moving forward. | **A:** You must become level 1 before you will earn from Minting QORT.
