Yes, that is quite true, though the bandwidth usage can be tweaked. It's even more challenging because I have to share the bandwidth with the whole communtity here (I live in an off-grid intentional community)!
Thanks so much agsin! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

How's your Qortal node? 🤔 I am thinking about testing it (since I !love testing after all). 😅
It's been running great! There is a UI to connect go the core, which is a whole decentralized internal ecosystem. They seek to replace the legacy internet. I've gotten to minter level 3, and I've been accumulating QORT fairly quickly. I highly recommend Qortal. That's 1 of 4 sovereignty-driven blockchains, including Hive, where I'm active. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
I wonder what the two other "sovereignty-driven" blockchains you are active too. 🤔🤓
Have some !PIZZA with !LUV! 😁
Yep, I do promotion on my Hive posts on X, Noise.Cash, Bastyon, DeSo, and Tangled. It's quite helpful.
Each level takes progressively longer. Getting to level one takes about a week, level two takes about a month, level 3 takes a few months, on and on. I'm at level 3, and I have about 92 days to go to get to level 4. I don't remember exactly how long getting to level 5 takes. Probably several months, or even close to a year. You can refer or recommend Qortal to people at any time, as that has nothing to do with your level. If you want to be able to sponsor someone so that s/he can start minting/become a minter, yes, you do need to be level 5 to do so. Minting is not required to utilize the many aspects of the Blockchain, but is rather a motivation to keep your node online 24/7. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I wonder how many new users you have onboarded to Hive by cross-posting on other platforms. 🤔😎
Anyway, I noticed that even without the ability to mint, every #Qortal node needs to be online as long as possible to increase its level quickly, such that a node that is online only for 12 hours a day will need double the days to reach the next level compared to a node that is always online. 🤓

That's a good question! Across the four blockchains where I'm active, a nice cross-blockchain community is developing! I know some people on three of the four. I love that, and I want to create more of it!
Well, yes and no. Yes, it's important to keep one's node online as much as possible, which does help progress go faster, but no due to not actually needing to be online at all times. Payouts happen once per day, though when it happens is variable. If you happen to be online when the check is done, you'll get paid, if you're not, you won't.

You need to be at least Level 5 first so that you can allow other people to host mint from their own Qortal nodes through invite codes sponsorship. 🤯😅
That's not accurate. You don't need to be level 5 to run a node or to use any Qortal service. You only need to be level 5 to be able to sponsor another user to become a minter. There are no invite codes in Qortal, which is why when I share a link for Qortal, that I don't include such a code. The only things that is important to do to be able to use most Qortal servicesis to register a name.
Thankie muchly! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I edited my previous comment to fix the inaccuracy. 🙈
Anyway, I have fully read the Qortal guide about minting, but I haven't found a way for a Qortal node operator to be able to mint without a sponsor. 🤯😅

That works, and yes, now it's accurate! You can't. It's a protection mechanism to stop those trying to game the system. Getting sponsored, which is only necessary after the first week, is generally quite easy. Just spending some time in the General Chat, among others, getting to know people, will usually inspire someone to offer to sponsor you. You can also make a request in a group designed for that purpose. I've been on Qortal since September of last year, so I've gotten to know it pretty well. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Does that mean if a Qortal node becomes Level 5, it can sponsor somebody else to be able to mine, but won't be able to mine itself unless sponsored by somebody else? 🤔🤯😅
!LUV
!PIZZA
You only need someone else's sponsor key once for the first week. After that, and you reach level 1, it is no longer necessary, as once you can mint, just keeping your node online will earn QORT. 1 and 2 earn the same percentage, 3 and 4 earn the same percentage, as do 5 and 6. Past that I don't know, but the pattern probably continues. Once someone is sponsored, and s/he reaches level 1, they're good to go, and don't require any outside assistance any longer. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
