Problems with delegating harvesting

Tech Support
#1

Need some help:

  1. “Node” and “supernode” in NEM tutorials are the same or not?
    2.1) I can’t understand how to start up delegated harvesting.
    What exactly I have to do to start NIS-server that would harvest for me and to which I’ll connect remotely from my local wallet (Nano or NCC)?
    2.2) NCC is deprecated now? I have to switch to Nano?

Also

Just double click “runMon.bat” (Windows might only display “runMon”) inside the package folder. That’s it!
No, that isn’t!
Windows’s answer is: “pushd mon - can’t find this path”.

If you want to start NIS and NCC separately you can do this by double clicking “runNis.bat” and “runNcc.bat” and then open your browser and visit http://localhost:8989.
Same error: "System can’t find path for “pusd nis”.

3)https://blog.nem.io/ncc-to-nanowallet-export/

to nanowallet
"Export for Lightwallet"
Nanowallet or Lightwallet? Are they the same wallets or not?

You don’t need to run a server to start harvesting. Yiu can use one from already running nodes. NCC is no longer supported and you should use nano wallet.
Info about starting delegated harvesting can be found here: https://blog.nem.io/how-to-activate-start-delegated-harvesting-in-nanowallet/
Lightwallet key is compatible (can be imported) into nano wallet

Where can I find remote account address?
I can’t find anything except IP-address of a node here: https://supernodes.nem.io
Also,

Activation takes ~6 hours and will cost you 6 XEM in fees. Activation only needs to be done one time per account.
and
Check your NanoWallet from time to time to see if harvesting is still ongoing. If the node you have selected restarts, you also have to start harvesting again! Meaning, as long as the node was on, it will continue to harvest for you for free, but if it reboots, you will have to request it to harvest for you again.

Would I repeat activation each time when remote node reboots?

Your remote address is visible and can be activated in Services - > Manage delegated account from nanowallet.
Yes you must activate again when node restarts but exists service which do this for you http://nem-tools.com/#/harvesting

That service wants “Private key of delegated / remote account”. Is it safe getting delegated private key? Does it change from my account (not delegated) private key?

#6

In my opinion is safe to share your private key for delegated account. Of course don’t do mistake. Please put delegated private key (not original one).
Remote account doesn’t contains tokens. It should be safe in my opinion.
Of course you can also set notification if nodes restarts which this service http://tracking.bclotto.io and so this manually.

OK, thank you for your advice. I’ll try to do it today. I’ll ask tomorrow if I’ll encounter any troubles with it.
