I Am a Node Operator ### Recommended Device MINI is recommended as the balanced option. ORIGIN is recommended for users seeking higher rewards. ### Detailed Onboarding Steps #### Step 1: Purchase and Deploy Your Device Purchase a MiuroBox from shop.miuro.ai. After receiving the device, connect it to power and the internet. A wired network connection is strongly recommended for better stability. After the device powers on, Miuro OS will start automatically. #### Step 2: Activate the Device and Join the Network Use the MIURO App to scan the device QR code and complete binding. The device will automatically register with Miuro Rights Network and begin contributing computing power, storage and bandwidth. #### Step 3: Keep the Device Online and Monitor Status Try to keep the device online 24/7. Auto-restart can be enabled for better reliability. In the app, you can view real-time device status, contribution data and estimated rewards. Perform regular firmware OTA upgrades to maintain optimal performance. #### Step 4: Participate in Tasks and Earn Rewards The system automatically assigns tasks based on network demand, including AI generation, audio processing and enterprise services. After completing tasks, the device automatically earns MU rewards. Before TGE, rewards are issued as MU. After TGE, MU can be converted into $MIURO. #### Step 5: Participate in Referral Growth This step is optional but recommended. Generate your dedicated referral link in the app. Invite others to purchase devices and you can receive 5-level referral rewards, including 10% for direct referrals and ongoing rewards across multiple levels. When your team reaches certain size milestones, you can also receive mining rate boosts. ### Node Operator Tips * Device stability directly affects rewards, so using a UPS, or uninterruptible power supply, is recommended. * Early participation may offer higher rewards, so early deployment is encouraged. * Multiple devices can be operated at the same time, but network and power conditions should be considered. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.miuro.ai/quick-start/2.-i-am-a-node-operator.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
