Yes, indeed, they are. Minting accounts have levels, each one taking longer to reach, and (usually) paying more QORT during each payout (which happens once per day). You can't buy your way to power on Qortal. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Let's !HOPE that Bjorn running a #Qortal node won't take up a significant amount of his time and computing resources !INDEED! 🤗 I assume that you simply check once a day if your own Qortal node on one of your laptops is working properly. 🧘♂️🤓

It doesn't take a lot of computer resources, especially with the recent core releases and the new UI. Actually there is a task-bar icon that let's me see how it's doing. I also keep the UI open, so I check things several times per day. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

There are some Linux distros which love updating themselves often, especially those that have beta updates enabled !INDEED. 🤯 I assume that your Arch Linux is not one of them. 😅

Yep, indeed, I remember that from my Ubuntu days, and you're right, Arch doesn't update until I manually run the command. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
