If I stake ark, do I have to leave my computer on?
Thanks in advance
No you don't need to have your computer on unless you are a delegate then you need to have a node. But if you just wants to stake then vote for a delegate and that's it
More info about what are Delegates:
https://ark-guide.readme.io/docs/what-are-delegatesThe list of the 51 Delegates is constantly changing, I'm not sure where can you find a list of all of them and their "proposals", but this is an ARK-explorer-kind of list of the delegates:
https://explorer.dafty.net/delegateMonitor . You can then Google them and see what are they promising to do.
Things to take into account before voting,
- Some delegates are just pools, meaning they distribute about 90%-95% of the ARK they forge to the votes. Some others might distribute 50%-90% but help with marketing and/or developing the ARK ecosystem.
- All delegates will have rules that apply to votes. Since they'll have to pay a transaction fee of 0.1 ARK every time they pay their voters (0.1 for every voter), some Delegates might require you to have a minimum amount of ARK in order to be eligible for payments. Others (at least ARKland) will just take the cost on themselves. Some pay daily, others weekly etc. Make sure you research a Delegate before you vote.
- It costs 1 ARK to vote and 1 ARK to change your vote
When will we be able to withdraw from Cryptopia??? :/
best to ask them
I do kinda "spam" them on twitter every day but I don't have any expectations from Cryptopia, I know their quality of support. It's more likely I'll get an update from ARK devs even if they're not the cause.
