I was looking to the 2 options for Staking PIVX. a. hold PIVX coins in a Staking wallet or b. run a Masternode where you stake 10K PIVX.
My expectation is that with option A, the staked coins are pooled to a Masternode. I don't see anywhere in the documentation where this configuration mapping a wallet to a masternode occurs. Is this not how the coins in Staked wallets get deployed?
Staking and masternodes are a completely different things. No masternode is deployed automatically, you have to install PIVX on daemon mode on a dedicated system. After that, you can create a masternode config on your local wallet and activate the remote masternode by linking the 10k PIVX transaction in the config file and starting it.
The process looks more complicated than it is:
