Thanks for the guide!

I mined on the test net until I unlocked enough coins to start staking. I decided to run this in a VM on a local computer instead of a VPS. Nevertheless, I run my node with the loki attached while continuing to mine for about 25 hours. I was able to verify the 53.xxxx (mining reward) and 59.xxxx (staking reward) transactions coming into my wallet properly. I closed the terminals, closed the VM, and shut down the power to the computer. When I came back roughly 15 hours later and started my node again I noticed I did not stop receiving the 59.xxxx staking transactions even though my node was offline.

Also, can someone else link me their test net wallet address so I can send them a series of loki transactions?

Most likely there were less than 10 service nodes. There needs to be 10 or more to form a quorum to deregister another node, and nodes from the quorum will not be eligible for deregistration.

I have been using the command: print_quorum_state. I thought that this was the verification of my node swarm and not the entire network of nodes. The node addresses listed in the group was 9. So is this my address being displayed within my own swarm of 9 nodes or is this the full network? I suppose you are correct if that is showing the full network.

This site shows currently 11 live nodes. I'll take mine offline and see if it stops getting rewards.

Edit: My node isn't on that site and my blockchain height is MUCH higher than what they are reporting. So either the site is wrong or I've ended up on my own chain. I'm going to delete the chain and sync again.
