do we have an estimation of xnodes rewards on mixing? Also plz do remind me, mixers can stake as well at the same time right?
No they cannot...I think..correct me if im wrong
By definition, when they are mixing, the coins are moving around. Even if they are still "staking", unless they don't get moved for a long time, I doubt they will stake at all by the time the coins inside gets moved.
Does an xnode use its own coins to mix with users transactions?
When you say Xnode, it just means wallet right? because every wallet is an xnode. So, when you send coins out, it will send coins from its own xnode and mixes with other people's coins from xmixer to finally arrive at the destination address.
I thought you needed to have like 550XC or 1000XC to become an xnode(node with mixing capability), I also thought you needed to opt in to become an xnode. Leave your wallet open while you are an xnode so it can service the network. And finally I was wondering if the 550xc or 1000xc were used to mix with users transactions or not? Could you clarify for me if I didnt understand correctly?
Edit: I think the post above answers my question, so yes, the 1000xc of the mixing node are used to mix with users transactions. Thank you.
