how do i get SEM
So that means if you have voted to someone its up to him to share the earnings, good thing there is an official pool that we can vote else some may abuse it but we can always unvote.
I'm new to semux. I only heard about it recently when looking over posts about upcoming BTC airdrops. I've reviewed posts made by the semux Bitcointalk user, skimmed over the various FAQs and other websites, but I still have a few questions about the project.
It seems like instead of "mining", there is a "forging" process that allows by special nodes called Validators. To be a Validator, it seems just must first register as a Delegate (burning 1000 SEM) and then get enough "votes" from other nodes (or your own I assume) to rank amongst the top 64 vote getters. For each SEM you own, you can cast a vote. When you vote, that SEM becomes "locked" and cannot be spent unless you go back and "unvote" for that delegate.
Does a node (wallet) get anything in return for their votes? Do they get part of the 1 SEM (soon to be 3 SEM) block rewards from the Validators? Or do the block rewards go solely to the Validator who forged it?
If you don't get anything in return for your vote, I'm not understanding the point. It would seem the Delegates would most likely just vote for themselves (if having enough SEM) to stay being a Validator.
Sorry for the probably basic question, but I'm just trying to learn more about the system. Thanks.

It is a good question. The answer is just the validator gets the block reward (currently 1 SEM son 3 SEM), but it is an interesting idea that the voters get part of it. There are forging pools that do this (somehow). I could be wrong so wait for dev to final answer.
It could be a good idea to consider adding such a feature directly to Semux wallet. Maybe an optional validator setting to share block reward proportionally with the voting accounts.
I was thinking the network would/should handle that automatically as soon as you vote. And calculate some sort of share/reward from the block reward, if the validator you voted for forged a block.
Why would you otherwise lock up your coins, and pay transfer fees, if your not rewarded for it?
It only make sense to vote if you are nominated as a validator, and then only vote on yourself.
Or Am I missing something here?
Sharing validator rewards is voluntary. Only a validator pool will share rewards to voters and it is not done automatically.
wow newbie got 5

I don't expect the dev to be very active here in the thread because he must be very busy right now coding and preparing for the mainnet launch! I'm very excited
The the launch date is January 20, 2018. We're still internally preparing for it.
Another round of stress test over the RC network will be conducted before the main net goes live.
T - 12, this is amazing news. All rockets ready!

Just want to thank you and all of the Semux devs for a phenomenal job with Semux!
You've demonstrated top class leadership and development skill. We are really excited about the upcoming launch and the future roadmap.
Highly anticipating the last round of stress tests: we hope to sustain 10,000 txs/block! Please PM us if there are any special node configuration required.
Hope it's not too late to join the project !!! this is the most popular signature campaign in BTT forum these days !
Here is a pool I found.
https://semux.info/pool
Not sure if you get paid for voting if you don’t register, waiting for an answer to that one myself.

Thanks for the information about the pool. I just got my BTC airdrop and went ahead and split my SEMs up amongst the five validators in the pool. Though I did notice of their validators says that it has been offline for a week ("madrid"). I wonder if I should unvote those.
I also went ahead and registered to be a delegate as well. I have nowhere near enough to become a validator, but it should be a fun test to see if anyone actually votes for my delegate out of the blue. (I don't know if it is against the rules or not to mention my delegate's name, so I'll leave that out just in case.)
Will the UI let you get to a point where you can actually lock your entire SEM balance? I'm wondering if there are safeguards in the software to prevent you from doing it. If you lock your entire balance, you would never be able to pay the transaction fee to "unvote" and you would be stuck until you actually acquire more SEM.
NO worries, just found it a week ago myself
About Madrid, he went offline earlier today. They have all been online the whole week except for Friday, when 3 of them went offline for an hour maybe. And today Madrid.
He will probably get his act together tomorrow, when he realizes he’s been loosing money
