✅ DEX.fo Exchange [CHALLENGE] Run A Bitcoin Node: 14 Days To 14 Merits

[NotATether]

Hello All, please I wanna understand something, I’m interested to participate in this challenge, but I already have my Bitcoin Core fully synced, do I just run it for 14 days more or must I need to first download the blockchain data from afresh?

You just have to run it for 2 weeks.

Hello. Just like what NotATether said, you only need to run it for 14 days, but you must also have at least 20 merits before you can participate. Kindly read the OP for more details about the challenge. Thanks!
