Update: looks like we’ve hit 20 miners in the .miner namespace! https://core.blockstack.org/v1/namespaces/miner/names?page=0
“I have enough BTC to commit for 1 week or more.”
How can I calculate the BTC necessary for 1 week?
Before the mainnet launch currently there are 33 miners registered.
For the miners who are running a live stacks node are they earning any block reward?
Or rewards will be eligible after the mainnet launch?
why when i write the command (blockstack-cli get_address)
I get an error

You say here that you can use a public bitcoin node? Where do we find those? I’ve tried searching but seems like this isn’t really a common use case 
I don’t have enough space to set up a full bitcoin node on my server as it is. And to be honest I don’t really want to, I want to participate in STX and Blockstack, but outsource the whole Bitcoin-part of it
Hey there,
If you just want to get involved in running a Hiro node then check here:
https://docs.blockstack.org/understand-stacks/running-mainnet-node
Keep in mind that to run a node you are strengthening the Stacks/Hiro network. This is different than Stacking or mining.

Yeah, I am running a basic node like that. But I want to also mine (and stack, but I don’t know where my STX are, I did pay something at one point and have a proof of purchase). Haven’t had time to really devote to get into Blockstack again after the two reboots
https://www.stacks.co has answers to many of your questions. Regarding your purchase, I would start at stacks.org and find their social media channels or the general channel here maybe to ask about coins you purchased and how to retrieve them. Hope that helps:)
Actually it really did, I was only reading the blockstack.org docs, and they didn’t really point out services that could help.
I only needed this Bitcoin node to get further, but found out that Blockdaemon lets you set up one for free, so I did that now. Thanks!
