As a huge supporter of the decentralized web, I recently invested my whole funds to one single project: Substratum.
One of the many reasons, why I think Substratum will be one of the shooting stars in 2018 is, that SUB can be earned way easier than PoW or PoS cryptocurrencies.
Let´s face it: Most people can´t effort an expensive mining rig and the power costs make it very unprofitable for most users.
Here is also, where Substratum comes in: Easy "mining" with a normal PC.
In a nutshell, you run a node software that is very easily configurable on your PC and through that, you become a part of the decentralized web and all it´s features (true net neutrality, VPN, hosting etc.)
There are some factors coming into this calculations, that are featured in the video below - and will be part of earning SUB:
- (Upload) Bandwith
- (Low) Specs of the PC (RAM, Harddisk)
- How long you leave your node online (can be set to run only in your night hours or when you are off your PC)
- How long you are already a member
- How much Substrate you own
We will see, how this works out in real life, when we get our hands on the public beta in a few weeks.
I will of course write about it, as soon as I can test it out!
