# FAQ

## 1. What is the transaction finality time for withdrawals and deposits of BTC?

Six transaction confirmations are the recommended value for transaction finality on the Bitcoin blockchain and thus its recommended to set the value at 6 confirmations for Bitcoin SONs. (reference: <https://web.archive.org/web/20210218094358/http://bitcoins.net/guides/bitcoin-confirmations>)

## 2. What is the daily reward pool set at right now for sons nodes?

Funds equivalent of 200 PPY is set aside and its distributed among SONs proportional to their performance. This value can be changed by the committee.

## 3. I have also noticed that my server is running at 100% at all times. Is it trying to mine test btc?

No, when you are connected to SONs network as a seed or a SON itself, you won't be doing any PoW mining. SONs just listens on the Bitcoin network for any incoming transfers to Peerplays BTC addresses.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://community.peerplays.com/technology/sidechain-operator-nodes-sons/faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
