The only way you'll be able to obtain a 'minting account', and therefore a portion of the block reward once qortal project chain begins, is to:
1. prove you have supported the previous chain, by verification that you have run a node, and staked during the last few months when not many people were, due to the fact that there was no staking reward. This alone will prove that you supported the project, wanting to see it survive, regardless of the fact that you were not receiving monetary reward for doing so, and is sufficient to obtain a minting account on qortal project chain.
What number of blocks staked will be the minimum?
When is the cutoff period for determining who did enough staking, has it already past?
We haven't yet decided on the specifics as far as the minimum, etc...
But we know it will work like this.
We will set a number of blocks between x and x number on the QORA chain, any user who forged blocks during that time, will be getting a minting account. The number of blocks forged will determine the number level your minting account will start.
Exact details will be posted once we nail them down.
