Adding commitment
4min
in signum's proof of commitment plus ( poc+ ) consensus mechanism, miners can enhance their effective mining capacity by committing a balance of signa (signa) to their mining account this commitment acts as a stake, increasing the miner's chances of forging blocks and earning rewards 🔍 why add commitment? without any committed balance, a miner's effective capacity is reduced to 1/8 of their actual plotted capacity this significantly lowers the likelihood of successfully mining blocks by committing signa, miners can increase their effective capacity 0 125x no commitment — only 1/8 of actual capacity is effective 1x commitment equal to the network average — full effective capacity up to 8x commitment significantly above the network average — up to 8 times effective capacity even a small commitment improves mining efficiency and supports the network's security and decentralisation 🛠️ how to add commitment open your wallet use the phoenix or classic wallet connected to your local node navigate to the mining section locate the area where you can manage mining settings add commitment enter the amount of signa you wish to commit confirm the transaction approve the commitment transaction, which will require a minimal fee the committed amount will become effective after 1,440 blocks (approximately four days) by committing signa to your mining account, you not only increase your mining rewards but also contribute to the robustness and sustainability of the signum blockchain signum miner booster
