Why have i had a transaction made of 6 XEM go out of my account?
I never sent any funds anywhere, it says its an importance transaction, is this think sort of automatic to increase your importance?

You activated delegated harvesting and confirmed to pay a fee of 6 XEM. MAYBE you should read, what you confirm.

I never confirmed to pay anything, i just clicked delegated harvesting and it told me it would take 6 hours, anyway what is the difference between delegated harvesting and local harvesting?

maybe this helps answer the question? Huh

Found it on NEM's forums and you can disregard the multisig stuff unless its important to you. (replace "remote harvesting" and "secure harvesting" with "delegated harvesting")

Actually you could

Initiating harvesting be it remote or local is NOT a transaction, it's simply passing
private key to nis server.

So rigel's right.

edit:

There are actually TWO differences.
1) In case of "secure harvesting" fees goes directly to associated account, if you'd like to use multisig account to do that, fees will go there (which is not that bad, as only cosignatory account has access there anyway).
2) In case of "secure harvesting", it's the MAIN account that holds the power and responds for PoI

So basically to summary:
harvesting works by passing (private) SECRET key, to the server
since we wanted to allow harvesting on remote nodes, we've introduced "secure harvesting" (remote harvesting)
secure harvesting works by issuing special transaction, that becomes part of the blockchain, in that transaction, there is information about "remote harvesting account", i.e. search for following transaction in nembex: 4c2a92c19a49914bda6239dcc94e81080fba7f7bdfffea0d42c88a70eefeec53, displayed "Remote PK" is a public key of harvester
secure harvesting works by passing private key of that account to some node, this private key is useless anyway
now, what rigel is suggesting is that, you could create multisig account, and use that account's private key, to do harvesting

From that I ended up getting
"local harvesting" = sending private key of [Account A ] to server.
"delegated harvesting" = sending private key [Account B ] to server.

The fee you explained is the result of the passing of the private key to the nis server. I'm guessing Tongue
