Today I wanted to talk to you about 'mining' $DUST on Discord. Now to my knowledge Dust was a thing on Telegram for a long time. I am not a fan of Telegram so I never got into it. Last week a Discord server I mod for added Dust World to its server. What is allowed is for people who talk/text on the Discord server to earn little bits of DUST by doing so. So now that I have a few pieces of DUST collected lets dive into the in's and out's.

For this article we are going to talk about the WAX blockchain and not Polygon... $SorryNotSorry
So first thing you gotta' do is setup your account in Discord. These are ALL of the commands available from the bot when its loaded to a Discord Server.
Depending on if you already have it setup on Telegram or not you may or may not have to migrate your account. If you are new all you will have to do is run the /sync command and follow the prompts and enter your address. Then you just gotta type type type all day long in that Discord server to earn $DUST.
Now I don't know what the ratio is on how much you earn per message or how many times you can earn per minute or per hour. But I do know as you talk normally in a conversation $DUST starts to accumulate.
The 2.4 that is claimable is from the past 3 or 4 days of minimal typing and chatting. However today has been busy so I have 2.1 so far earned today.
Now what to do once you have some that is claimable you ask? Well that is when you head on over to https://dustismagic.com/ and login with your WAX wallet.
It will look something like this:
I am going to go ahead and click on "Claim Reward" to claim that 2.4 $DUST just sitting there doing nothing for me.
In the bottom right corner you can see it my Wallet amount went from 12.4534 to 14.8534
Now I am going to stake that $DUST using well the "Stake" button.
It asks you where you want to stake it to and how much and what Memo to use.
According to the Dust Medium article here it states you have to stake to stake.dust. So that is what I am going to do.
Now you can see my balance of DUST is now staked.
Now we have to wait and see what staking rewards I get for that 14.8534 DUST being staked (it won't be much just FYI)
