Edge FAQs
This questions were asked by community members at the AMA on 2024/05/17. We warmly thank @sanjay for answering them so thoroughly.
What is the supply number of edges that would be distributed max supply?
Initially, there will not be many, but no limits have been set yet.
Can I run multiple Edges with the same IP?
Yes, you can. You can run as many as you want, as long as you have electricity and internet for each device, you can run them.
How will internet connection speed upload/download effect edge rewards?
The more time your device is running, the more work it provides, the greater the chances of rewards.
What country will the delivery be from? And countries with restrictions.
Singapore, all edges will be sent from there, either directly or through other providers. They can deliver to any place, there are no restrictions.
I heard that if I buy Aethir Edge, I don’t need to buy Aethir node and I will still be able to share 23% of $ATH. I just wanna confirm if it’s correct or not.
Yes, it is completely correct. The nodes are allocated 15 percent of the supply, the Edges will be able to mine 23 percent, you don’t need 2 to get rewards, you can choose one of them.
Why did you choose Android OS?
Because it is more accessible and you don’t need a lot of access, for this reasons Android was chosen and not another OS.
Is the gpu fully dedicated for the Aethir network? or can we use part of it to mint other crypto/run games and let only the “unused” part for the network?
The devices are fully dedicated to mining tokens, that’s why the devices will be cheaper, we made it sufficient for mining, in addition, there will be access to other airdrops and rewards later.
What is the minimum specs requirement (CPU/GPU) for us to run and use the Device?
You don’t need to have anything, you just need electricity and internet, 20mbit/s is the minimum requirement. You don’t need anything,Edge has everything in it
Will there be any improvements to the edges?
There are no plans to improve it yet, but the technology is improving, so it will definitely be improved in the future, but the rewards will not increase, the pool will not change. These devices are very small, so you don’t have to worry about power consumption.
Will the price decrease?
The price will not be lower, it was set and it will remain so. After the mining starts, there will be a change in the price, but now it will not decrease, I think the price is perfect now.
When the device falls down or there are problems with the operator, will it be reported?
You can track whether it is working and get notifications, you can track the whole process.
I do not understand why the emission is 4 years, it is not clear what will happen after this period?
The years of emission are for nodes, for Edges there will be 10 years of emission, at the moment I cannot answer what will happen afterwards. I will ask the team later what will happen after this period.
Where and when can I buy this device?
There will be a lot of WL for discord and other communities, it will be best to follow opportunities, there will also be a public sale, but a very small supply, but you can get a place there. You can also go to the site and apply for a wait list.
You need to pay 50 dollars for registration, what happens with this money?
It will be returned, it’s just a deposit to get rid of the bots, then this deposit will be returned, it’s just for booking a queue.
How much electricity do you need for the Edge and what is the price?
100$ you need 12w adapter, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HBi1n-aiuuhcwRSvUSOxmwtntZYcXykp/view, it’s hard to say what the price for electricity will be, because it all depends on the country, the device is small, so it will definitely not consume much.
Do we have a clear date tge?
June — July, it’s hard to say a clear date, but team will give an announcement soon.
