Asking for Help

We're present on multiple platforms. You will typically get the fastest response on Discord.

Discord Guidelines

We encourage you to stay around for a while after you ask a question. Listen to the various discussions in different threads. Someone will likely have an answer to your question once they check in. If you don't get a response someone might not know the answer or the person who knows it is hasn't read it yet.

To assist those looking for help, please make use of the off-topic channel to lower the noise for others. This also helps reduce the backlog so that others can catch up.

If you want to draw someone's attention, type their name to ping them. Don't be rude though.

To prevent flooding the channel, please also use a service like https://bpaste.net/ instead of pasting your logs directly.

You can also set the Discord notifications setting to “Mentions only” so that you will only be disturbed when someone writes your name.

Staying Safe on Discord

Asking for assistance can result in private messages from scammers pretending to be "admins" or "support staff." Stay in the public threads so that Admins can moderate conversations. Be wary of sharing any private information.

If anyone approaches you in a private message:

Assume they're a scammer
Check if they have an admin role
Never disclose your wallet information
Never click on shared links
Notify an Admin so they can be banned

Direct support with the NKN Team is only through swap@nkn.org or contact@nkn.org.

-=== In short ===
+==='''Asking for Help''' ===
-* To start mining NKN you need a low tech device such as low-end VPS, Raspberry Pi or an old Windows laptop and a good internet connection (without quota).
+We're present on multiple platforms. You will typically get the fastest response on Discord.
-* You need at least 10.1 NKN mainnet before starting a node (See our guide about the mainnet tokens).
-* You're not going to buy your Lambo tomorrow from your mining activities but you can generate small additional revenues from your unused ressources.

+If you want to draw someone's attention, type their name to ping them. Don't be rude though.
-As newcomer to the community who sometimes need help you may be reach by scammers who pretends to be admins and "support staff". Ask for help in public channel in order for admin to keep an eye on shared information. If anyone approach you in private message:
+To prevent flooding the channel, please also use a service like <nowiki>https://bpaste.net/</nowiki> instead of pasting your logs directly.
-* first assumption is that they are scammers.

+=== '''Staying Safe on Discord''' ===
-'''<big>Only use official [mailto:&#x3C;swap@nkn.org&#x3E; swap@nkn.org] or [mailto:&#x3C;swap@nkn.org&#x3E; contact@nkn.org] for support</big>'''

-=== Help and guidelines for Discord users ===
+* Assume they're a scammer
-As with every Discord room, we encourage you to stay around for a while after you ask a question, and listen to the various discussions. Some people usually read everything that happens there, so it is likely that someone will answer you if they have the answer (Not getting a response usually means no one knows the answer, or the person who knows the answer has not read it yet).
+* Check if they have an admin role
+* '''Never''' disclose your wallet information
+* '''Never''' click on shared links
+*'''Notify''' an Admin so they can be banned
-Due to this, please make extensive use of the off-topic channel to lower the noise in the others, and make the lives of those who read the entire backlog easier. Also note that everyone doesn't read every channel; if you want to draw someone's attention, type their name to ping them (doing this too often is considered rude, though). To prevent flooding the channel, please also use a service like <nowiki>https://bpaste.net/</nowiki> instead of pasting your logs directly.
