How to Join A Sealing Pool in Nexty Blockchain
The hitchhiker’s guide to the NTY rush
On March 23, 2019, Thang Long hard fork gave Nexty users the ability to mine NTY by depositing 50,000 NTF into Nexty Governance. However, the amount of NTF required to do so is excessively high for one account to acquire all 50,000 NTF for a sealing node. Nexty then introduces a solution called Poolmaster. It is similar to pool mining in Bitcoin and Ethereum, but instead of sharing processing power over the network, users can stake their NTF token in the pool and receive NTY proportionally to the percentage of their stakes. The following steps will guide users to join a sealing pool in Nexty blockchain.
