So do I understand this right. to be a minter you need to get sponsorship from someone who is level 5 in the discord or qchat?
I am not particularly keen on chatrooms or chat servers.
Is there another way to get sponsorship without joining discord or qchat.?
I read your whole announcement. I actually find this project very interesting.
Yes, initiative must be shown by anyone looking to become a minter on The Qortal Network. Then a continually connected node of any type after an initial bit of interaction with the community.
The easiest way to interact with the community is in the UI, in Q-Chat.
I myself am there a lot, waiting for people that I can then donate QORT to and sponsor. So it really isn't that difficult overall... but yea, you must communicate and show initiative in order to become a minter... that is the only investment required (that and a 5W or higher computer system.)
We don't believe it is that much of an issue to obtain sponsorship, then once you become your own minter, you no longer need to communicate, you simply keep helping the network grow by running your node.
This project is so different to anything else on here. ill say it again I find it very very interesting. I am going to dig out a pc to run as a node.
