 In order to become a minter on the Qortal Network, a user will need to be 'sponsored' by a founder or level 5+ minting account (if you did not purchase a QORTector device before launch of Genesis or are not a QORA Forger you’ll require a sponsor). In order to become a minter on the Qortal Network, a user will need to be 'sponsored' by a founder or level 5+ minting account (if you did not purchase a QORTector device before launch of Genesis or are not a QORA Forger you’ll require a sponsor).

 All users in the reward shares will be counted as online. Initially, the newly sponsored account will be a level 0, with a reward share key provided by a sponsor. The sponsor's reward share key is added to the sponsee's node and will process the first approx 7200 (currently 9000 in effect) 'online blocks' without any block reward in order to become level 1. All users in the reward shares will be counted as online.

-**Please note:** Sponsors do not earn anything for sponsoring others. Sponsors do not earn additional block rewards nor additional blocks minted count. The sponsee does not earn any block reward during the level 0 period of minting to reach level 1. This is simply the time for the sponsee to prove oneself to the network and become a level 1 minter. The 9000 blocks are credited to the sponsee permanently in the ‘Total Blocks Minted’ record. +**Please note:** Sponsors do not earn anything for sponsoring others.

-Once a user has ran a node for approx 9000 blocks and the account becomes Level 1, the user can then generate his/her own reward share at which point they are enabled (officially a minter on the network) and are able to obtain their shared portion of the block reward (refer to [[Block Rewards & Distribution]] to learn more about the rewards system).+Once a user has ran a node for 7200 blocks **and** the account becomes Level 1, the user can then generate his/her own reward share at which point they are enabled (officially a minter on the network) and are able to obtain their shared portion of the block reward (refer to [[Block Rewards & Distribution]] to learn more about the rewards system).
