-### What is the difference between V2 and V3 minting?
 
-V2 is being sunset. New miners should directly onboard to V3.
-On the tokenomics side, V2 rewards decrease as the difficulty level increases. For the V3 rewards, the rewards are constant for 5 years. In short, V3 is more profitable in the long run. For more information, read [this post](https://forum.threefold.io/t/comparison-v2-vs-v3-minting/2122).

-### What is the optimal ratio of virtual cores (vcores or threads), SSD storage and RAM memory? What is the best optimization scenario for a 3Node, in terms of ThreeFold tokens (TFT) farming rewards?
-
-In short, for peak optimization, aim for 100 GB SSD of storage and 8GB RAM of memory per virtual core (vcore or thread).
-
-For example, a 32 threads (32 vcores) 3Nodes would need 3.2 TB SSD and 256GB RAM to be optimal, reward-wise. 
-That is: 32 * 100 = 3200 GB SSD = 3.2TB SSD, and 32 * 8 = 256 GB RAM total.
-
-Adding more GB of RAM would not increase your TFT rewards. You would need more vcores if you want to expand.

-NB: This is purely based on reward considerations. Some users might need different ratios for different specific uses of the Grid.

 ## Introduction
 
-The TFT Stellar-Ethereum bridge serves as a vital link between the Stellar and Ethereum blockchains, enabling the seamless transfer of TFT tokens between these two networks. This bridge enhances interoperability and expands the utility of TFT by allowing users to leverage the strengths of both platforms. With the bridge in place, TFT holders can convert their tokens from the Stellar network to the Ethereum network and vice versa, unlocking new possibilities for engagement with decentralized applications, smart contracts, and the vibrant Ethereum ecosystem. This bridge promotes liquidity, facilitates cross-chain transactions, and encourages collaboration between the Stellar and Ethereum communities.

-The Threefold token (TFT) is the utility token of the Threefold Grid, a decentralized and open-source project offering network, compute and storage capacity.
-
-Threefold Tokens (TFT) are created (minted) by the ThreeFold Blockchain (TFChain) only when new Internet capacity is added to the ThreeFold Grid by farmers. For this reason, TFT is a pure utility token as minting is solely the result of farming on the Threefold Grid.

 ## Introduction to TFT
 
-The ThreeFold Token (TFT) is a decentralized digital currency used to buy autonomous and decentralized Internet services (compute, storage, and application) on the ThreeFold Grid. 
-
-ThreeFold Tokens are generated through a process called “Farming”. Farming happens when active internet capacity is added to the ThreeFold Grid. Independent farmers earn ThreeFold Tokens (TFT) by providing neutral and decentralized internet capacity, thus expending the usable TF Grid. Therefore no central entity controls the internet.
