How to use 1750 PRV to stake on pNode

Previously pNode uses Funded Staking mechanism: The Funder provides 1750 PRV and gets 65% of the rewards, Node owner keeps 35% of the rewards. Now pNode operator can use their own 1750 PRV to stake and get 100% of the rewards.

Hey there @Bazz_Jeffries Are you looking to unstake your vNode and use that stake on your new pNode?

Unstaking can take a bit of time to happen, since it is a manual process that has to be carried out on our end, once you begin the unstaking request for a pNode, we receive the request and after the request is approved the actual unstaking process will begin. Once your node is fully unstaked you will see the option to stake it with your own PRV.

You can check the post @zes333 mentioned, which gives you step by step instructions on how to carry through this process in case you are unfamiliar.

Do keep us updated.

Hope that helps.
