**About this guide:** This guide presents instructions for the installation and configuration of a MiftyCoin broker node. More information about MiftyCoin can be found at: <https://www.miftycoin.com>
{% endhint %}

Maintaining a MiftyCoin broker node of your own has the following advantages:

1. A broker node performs mining 24x7 when no humans are solving puzzles = more income from rewards.
2. Can charge broker fees for transactions processed by the node.
