There are a few ways you can stake your Theta on their new Mainnet 2.0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Option <\/strong>– set up your own server. The requirements for a Guardian node are the following:
1. A minimum of 10,000 Theta tokens
AND<\/strong>
2. Minimum 5Mbps+ up and down
AND<\/strong>
3. CPU: 4 cores or more; Memory: 8 GBytes or more<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Option <\/strong>– Sign up for a new Theta-guardian-node through Google Cloud Platform<\/a> and spend about $200\/month. You would need to stake at least 100k Theta and have the Tfuel price be over $0.04 to break even. Remember when Google’s unofficial motto was “don’t be evil”? Well they removed that<\/a> back in 2015. Enough said?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third Option<\/strong> – Stake your Theta at GPool<\/a>. This option is probably the easiest and best choice. There is no overhead to you and nothing to buy. You would need to stake things on your end, but that’s a fairly simple process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to have all the fun of running your own Guardian, go for option #1 above. Don’t waste your time and money (at these prices) on option #2. Shelling out a min of $200\/month to Google just doesn’t have the ROI that you’d need to make it profitable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
