Tech Support
#1

Hi, noob questions here:

  1. I belive the files I downloaded on my computer for the wallet includes my private key. Is this encrypted?

  2. Does it matter which node I run delegated harvest on (as long as it is available obv)?

Thanks!

Hello and welcome!

I belive the files I downloaded on my computer for the wallet includes my private key. Is this encrypted?

Yes, the .wlt file contains a copy of your private key encrypted with your password.

Does it matter which node I run delegated harvest on (as long as it is available obv)?

Not really, only thing that matters is whether the node will harvest 24/7. When it shuts down, you will need to restart harvesting so it is better to find a node that is always online. (i.e. supernodes)

It doesn’t matter in terms of importance and block rewards.

Thanks a lot for very good and quick answers, unfortunately I do have one more.

How can I tell whether a node in the list a supernode or not?

You can’t tell from the NanoWallet nodes list. You can view a list of supernodes at https://supernodes.nem.io/ but you will probably need to browse a few pages before finding one with available slots :slight_smile:
