 Another thing to note - if minters are OFFLINE, a larger percentage of the block reward percentage goes to the minters who are ONLINE. So be sure you keep your node ONLINE as much as possible, to both garner your earned reward, as well as your 'online block count' for leveling up. Another thing to note - if minters are OFFLINE, a larger percentage of the block reward percentage goes to the minters who are ONLINE.

-As the entire design of the minting system suggests... The importance for the minter in Qortal, is that of SUPPORTING THE BLOCKCHAIN BY BEING A FULL NODE. As a full node is very important for the overall health of any blockchain, we have decided to delegate that importance by enforcing the minters being online and sync'd as the main contributing factor. As such, since we realize this importance, being ONLINE is tracked by the Qortal Core, and every 'online block' for every minter, is cemented into the blockchain. It is impossible to 'trick the core' into thinking you are online when you are not, as every node that has a minting key assigned to it, must 'verify' itself every block, by performing a special signature tied with a timestamp, and submitted within a given timeframe (5 minutes). +As the entire design of the minting system suggests...
