ELI5: AVAX nodes?

[Anonymous No.26134573]

How do you set up a node and how much do you make from it?

[Anonymous No.26134597]

How much avax do you need? Any other requirements other than a good pc?

Also would like to know answer to this

Also is avax liquid when staking similar to ada?

I don't have any AVAX (American kekw), but initial starting points to your questions can be found at the following links:

https://docs.avax.network/learn/platform-overview/staking

http://support.avalabs.org/en/articles/4594192-networking-setup

The minimum AVAX one needs to stake in order to be a Validator and collect Validator rewards is 2,000. If you don't have 2,000, then the minimum to delegate to a Validator is 25 where you may receive a smaller reward for staking.

You can buy. VPN into Binance or gate.io.

Move BTC to wallet, buy AVAX, withdraw AVAX to Avalanche Wallet.

Not sure where people are getting that. There are other caveats aside from the minimum 2,000, such as needing to have an up-time of 60% of more on a node if someone decides to run one. This information is also in links provided.

And, as others have pointed out, there are ways to get AVAX as an American. Voyager, a VPN on Binance, or even on Jelly Swap.

AVAX Node Operator here.
you make 10% APY on your staked stack + delegation fees and in the future subnet token rewards.
