Rewards
^^^^^^^

...
Rewards for blocks and commissions are accumulated and proportionally (based on stake value)
payed once per 12 blocks (approx 1 minute) to all active validators (and their delegators).

Delegators receive their rewards at the same time after paying commission to their validators
(commission value is based on validator's settings).

5% from reward going to DAO account.

Minter Blockchain validators, so he is not receiving any rewards and cannot be punished
for low availability.

To turn your validator **on**, you should provide Public Key (which you created in step
2 *(Mp...)*).

*Note: You should send transaction from address you choose in Address field in step 4.2*
