I need to help here. I registered delegate but i´m missing blocks. It is not enough just to keep wallet open 24/7? What else is needed for "mining"?
Hi Billy,
Blockpool runs a DPoS Chain. In order to forge you will need to run our dedicated node software, which can be found here:
https://github.com/blockpool-io/BPL-nodeIt does take some linux knowledge and configuration but the steps are all laid out in the readme. We also have a install script which works for VPS's in the US region. We are working on bringing this script to other regions as well. If you need additional help there is usually someone around to assist in our Discord channel.
Minimum requirements to run a node
2 core
4 GB RAM
120 GB SSD
100MB/s network connection
One of the providers we recommend is called Contabo. Their VPS services baseline provides more than enough hardware to do what you need and will be compatible with sidechains, which will come further down the line.
If you take a look at the readme and figure its more than you wish to do, you can always remove the vote from your delegate and vote towards a pool which pays out automatically without the need to run a node.
As always feel free to leave any questions here to to PM me and I will respond as soon as I can.
Regards,
Loco
