So I am now running both nodes, and later in mainnet, from what I understood, I can mine Ixi coins? What is the difference between the nodes, do I get ixis from running both nodes? Im not sure I understand the combination of mining and staking in this case. Tnx!
Users can earn Ixis in different ways:
- running a DLT node (mining, staking and collecting transaction fees),
Users will soon get the chance to test mining during the Testnet phase simply by running the Ixian DLT node. Staking works by running the Ixian DLT node as well, but requires Ixi balance in the wallet. So essentially users will be able to earn Ixi coins by mining and by proof of stake at the same time.
- running an S2 node (collecting fees by relaying data between users),
Ixian S2 nodes are required to transfer data between users. By running an S2 node, users help in securing and scaling the Ixian streaming network and as such are paid in Ixi coins for each kB of data transferred through their node.
