CfB,
maybe it's a stupid question, but what happens if an account is unlocked for mining on a node that was hallmarked using another account's secret phrase? Say, people want to mine using one of the public nodes, and one public node is used for mining by quite a few people, they unlock, close their browser and go away, thinking their accounts mine now. Would they be able to mine that way or would that not work?

There is no connection between hallmarks and forging. People can forge on marked nodes.
CfB,
not to be a nuisance, but to further clarify. I think most people are still not 100% sure how this forging works, and your answers are extremely important.
Suppose, I set up a vps and unlock an account on it, close the browser and go away. It's still forging, right?
Suppose, other people access my vps's ip, unlock their account, close the browser and go away. Their account is also forging, correct? There is no limit on how many accounts can forge
simultaneously and most importantly
with their browser closed after unlocking the account on one node, is that true?
If you answer definitive YES to all those questions, then my understanding is correct, otherwise, please provide the caveats or conditions why this wouldn't work.
I understand, that it's best and most secure to set up NXT and run it on your localhost, but many people don't have their PCs switched on 24/7, so how are they supposed to forge in that case? They could set up a vps and forge there, but there is a chance someone else would connect to their node and forge on their vps too. Please provide clarifications. This info could later go into wiki.
