That's not accurate. You don't need to be level 5 to run a node or to use any Qortal service. You only need to be level 5 to be able to sponsor another user to become a minter. There are no invite codes in Qortal, which is why when I share a link for Qortal, that I don't include such a code. The only things that is important to do to be able to use most Qortal servicesis to register a name.

Thankie muchly! 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

I edited my previous comment to fix the inaccuracy. πŸ™ˆ

Anyway, I have fully read the Qortal guide about minting, but I haven't found a way for a Qortal node operator to be able to mint without a sponsor. πŸ€―πŸ˜…

That works, and yes, now it's accurate! You can't. It's a protection mechanism to stop those trying to game the system. Getting sponsored, which is only necessary after the first week, is generally quite easy. Just spending some time in the General Chat, among others, getting to know people, will usually inspire someone to offer to sponsor you. You can also make a request in a group designed for that purpose. I've been on Qortal since September of last year, so I've gotten to know it pretty well. 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

Does that mean if a Qortal node becomes Level 5, it can sponsor somebody else to be able to mine, but won't be able to mine itself unless sponsored by somebody else? πŸ€”πŸ€―πŸ˜…

You only need someone else's sponsor key once for the first week. After that, and you reach level 1, it is no longer necessary, as once you can mint, just keeping your node online will earn QORT. 1 and 2 earn the same percentage, 3 and 4 earn the same percentage, as do 5 and 6. Past that I don't know, but the pattern probably continues. Once someone is sponsored, and s/he reaches level 1, they're good to go, and don't require any outside assistance any longer. πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

I have read on #Qortal account types that a Qortal "User" won't have a "Level" if not sponsored by someone who is at least Level 5 or a Founder, so no minting unless sponsored. πŸ˜ŽπŸ€“

Correct. Since the levels are connected to minting, if you can't mint, you won't have a level. Getting sponsorship is not difficult, though. Even though people can have many accounts, they can only mint with one, and self-sponsorship is strongly frowned upon, so much so that they just created a script to remove sponsorship from self-sponsored accounts. πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

I don't think the flounder I caught today was very happy with me.
He kept looking at me kinda sideways.
