 Sponsorship is simply a process to limit the number of new minting accounts that can be created, and provide a level of 'human verification' for the project's consensus.  Sponsorship is simply a process to limit the number of new minting accounts that can be created, and provide a level of 'human verification' for the project's consensus. 
 +
 +=====Quick Overview=====
 +
 +1. **Obtain a Sponsorship key** from another minter of **level 5 or higher**, doing this in the **Sponsorship Requests group in Q-Chat** is the most likely to succeed. 
 +
 +2. Input (copy and paste) the key in **'become a minter' plugin, or 'node management - add minting account'**. ensure that you don't copy any extra spaces while copying the key, and ensure that the key has been confirmed prior to assigning it. **If it doesn't work the first time, wait 5 min and try again before asking for assistance.** 
 +
 +3. The **sponsorship key is a TEMPORARY KEY** that is only utilized to get the account TO LEVEL 1. Once the account **has reached level 1, they then create their own MINTING KEY.** 
 +
 +4. **Creating the minting key** as of Feb 2024 and version 4.5.0 of the Qortal UI, you will want to use the **'start minting' button** on the **OVERVIEW PAGE**, and NOT the one on the left sidebar. Until that issue has been resolved, the one on the left sidebar is not functioning correctly. 
 +
 +**alternative method of creating minting key (after reaching level 1)** 
 +
 +  * Go to 'Reward Share' plugin.
 +  * Click '+ own reward share' button at the top. 
 +  * Verify your public key, and click 'add' button. 
 +  * On the 'transaction request' dialog box, you will see another key, this is your minting key, **copy that key**. 
 +  * Wait at least 1 block for the key to CONFIRM. 
 +  * Add the key in 'node management - add minting account'
