Enabled minting accounts can be obtained by becoming 'sponsored' and getting the 'right to be a minter' after a set amount of blocks in 'sponsorship period'. The start sponsorship period is 5 days. Once that period has passed, you are then a level 1 minter and can mint blocks.**+  * Can act as a ‘minting’ node which allows users to earn QORT token rewards for a plethora of usages (minting being the method that is most relatable to ‘mining’ on a ‘traditional’ blockchain; helps secure the blockchain and is rewarded for doing so). **All devices come with pre-enabled minting accounts!**

-*Limitations - There is virtually no limit to what features can be added. If it is Unix friendly, it can be added provided the source code exists. For example, G-Wan web server (http://gwan.ch/) only provides binaries so it can’t be ported on the router but a legendary IRC Client BitchX (http://www.bitchx.com/) can be ported. However, certain services can't coexist at the same time due to the nature of traffic, universal port allocation and usage. Pi-hole can run standalone as it has a DNS server (FTL) itself but it will conflict with the QORTecTor device’s dnsmasq service and DNS over HTTPS server. The solution is to obtain a secondary standalone minimal device with DNS leak prevention and Pi-hole ad blocking features.+*Limitations - There is virtually no limit to what features can be added.
