Does delegation give you same reward as running your own node? Perhaps overlooked, couldn't find details about that.

That is only legit with bitshares' delegated proof-of-stake approach. If u are the delegate u will get the reward no matter what u are doing. Even if u are a bad actor u will get the pay because malicious elements also have the right to stay around. Scammers, conmans setting up fake nodes to pilfer user share do want to eat too and only u can keep them fed.

If coins were delegated to a compromised node that has been detected as performing malicious activity, the delegation is canceled automatically, and all coins are frozen for 10 days to exclude the possibility of any transfers or redelegation. Coins remain in the ownership of their holder, but are unavailable for the next 10 days. So setting up fake nodes will not bring any profit to their owners.

And also the reliability of the node is regulated by the units of the trust. Moreover trust is used as weighting factor in role assignment and voting influence.

So, if you delegate coins to malicious node, in that case coins will recover in the ownership of their holder after 24 hours.

Malicious node will lost 6 month.

Quite unique in Metahash management, surely holders will feel safe with this method. Applications that are quite interesting and this will not bring the holder to loss and loss, be careful in using Metahash because it has node security.
