I am a bit confused reading your last post saying
"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."
I am not sure I See the difference between voting for a delegate et voting towards a pool ?
Hi Rosam,
If you are running your own delegate you would need to vote your holdings towards it to be eligible to forge. You would also need a well rounded PC or a good VPS running all the time.
Voting for a pool is different since it doesn't require node maintenance knowledge or setup, however the pool takes a % of the forging rewards in return for doing the hard work.
