Hi all,

I am an early adoptor of LISK I am not overly technically minded and don't have much processing power in terms of computer hardware. I am however active in the world of crypto and medical apps/ healthcare blockchain with a decent Lisk holding

Is there any point in me registering as a delegate or active delegate for forging. In my understanding Lisk isnt Proof of stake, therefore does having a good balance of Lisk benefit in any way in terms of forging? Also to be a delegate do I need my computer hardware to be always on?

Appreciate your feedback

To run your own node you'll want to use a VPS (Virtual Private Server) with specific minimum specs (mine and others have been ~4 CPU, 4GB RAM, etc on Vultr).

You'll also need to make it known publicly on the forums, lisk.chat, slack channels, wherever, that you intend to run a node and need vote support. Depending on how the Lisk team (or other whales/groups) decides to vote you may need a little as 3-4 million (lisk) votes, or as much as 12 million+ to secure a spot among the 101 delegates. This is all a guess though, hope that helps some
