Secret Nodes, Part 3: Rewards, Requirements, and the Genesis Game
In this exhaustive post, learn how you can — and why you should — run secret nodes for Enigma’s Discovery release.
More details include minimum staking threshold (25,000 ENG), what prospective node operators must do to receive testnet tokens, our upcoming AMA, and how genesis scores will be calculated. Please ask any questions in our channels on our Developers Forum! http://forum.enigma.co
Reminder about secret nodes: if you wish to participate in the Genesis Game during Discovery testnet, you'll need testnet tokens. To get them, remember you must have your ENG mainnet tokens in an address you control - not an exchange. Learn more in the full secret nodes blog post. https://blog.enigma.co/secret-nodes-part-3-rewards-requirements-and-the-genesis-game-cfbe81dad455
