If you have not been sponsored or haven’t minted yet after reaching level 1, go to the [[Becoming A Minter]] page. | + | |

- | **The sponsee does not have to wait for the sponsor to remove things on their end. The sponsee can begin these steps all on their own. Of course as a general courtesy, it is still nice to inform your sponsor of your account reaching 7200 blocks and you successfully setting up your own key to mint!** That’s it! Congrats! | ||

- | Remember: There is a **1 block confirmation period between creation of the key, from the point you can assign it**, as it has to first be confirmed so the API can verify it. So be sure to wait at least 1 full minute (or notice block height and wait for next block after key creation) before attempting to assign the key... otherwise the assignment will fail as the chain is not aware of the created key. |
