Re: NEM (XEM) Official Thread - 100% New Code - Easy To Use APIs
Profit depends on your costs. If you have monthly costs of $5 for renting a VPS where your NEM node is running, then you could be profitable by harvesting with 500k of NEM. But it also depends on your importance. Someone with a smaller amount of XEM and a high importance can be as successfully as someone with a higher amount of XEM and a lower importance.
12K is not enough to harvest many blocks...
How much XEM is recommended in order for harvesting to be slightly profitable? I think a guide to how to harvest XEM should be written and posted online to encourage people to be proactive in the network.

Ok what if I am really new to NEM and I have a VPS for $5.00 a month and I have no/low importance, how much NEM must I have to harvest a decent amount of XEM? I guess like you said it is still 500,000?
Also how does one acquire importance? What are the tricks of the trade so to speak? Maybe I could become a NEM escrower? Would that help?
