RE: RentMoneys Thoughts On The Purchasable SPS Validator Licenses

in LeoFinance2 years ago

I saw the pre-sale prices and I completely gave up any thought about getting a validator node. Like you, I also think that SPS has a bright future due to its development but I honestly am still confused about what the validators will actually do.

SPS Validators are people who run nodes/servers for the Splinterlands game. It helps make the game more decentralized as no one person can pull the plug on the server that runs the game. Just like HIVE Witness get paid to run servers/nodes for HIVE, Validators will get paid in SPS for doing the same for the Splinterlands game. The key difference is there is no buy in option for becoming a HIVE Witness (They are voted in). With SPS Validators one can buy a license and earn SPS or/and get voted as a top Validator and earn SPS that way.

Yes, but are they validating for the Hive network, or are they validating the internal Splinterlands system? There are just so many things about the validation that I don't really know about.

Validating for Splinterlands.

Similar to how Hive-Engine has their Witnesses.
