can someone with a simple guide explain why i need to pay "Registering as a delegate costs extra: 14.38973 BTSX" to register as delegate?
What is the revenue when i'm registered as Delegate.
I'm able to get a POStake?
I just understand it is usefull for btsx mining and producing block?
And also.. how i can backup my BitShares X wallet?
i don't see classic wallet.dat under "AppData\Roaming\BitShares X" folder.
thank you in advice to every one who can explain better the situation with simple words a non english mother tongue!!!

You have to pay a fee for registering a delegate because if it would be free everyone could be a delegate -> To many choices for shareholders to vote = confusing.
DPOS (delegated proof of stake) works this way: Shareholders vote for delegates. The delegates that are among the top 101 delegates find blocks like bitcoin miners or NXT forgers. Delegates are paid for finding blocks through transaction fess.
It is difficult to become a delegate and at the moment you dont get much back so it doesnt make sense for most people.

find some like that
"Technology of Bitshares X
One of the most famed aspects of Bitshares X is the DPOS, or Delegated Proof of Stake. Delegated Proof of Stake is much like a voting system, users centralized their power to a limited number of 100 representatives. The top 100 delegates, by total votes, take turns generating blocks on a defined schedule. If they do not produce a block then their slot is skipped and the next delegate in line produces a block. All delegates receive pay equal to 10% of the transactions fees included in the average block. If the average block contains fees of 100 shares, a delegate will receive pay of 1 share."
if i'm not from 1 to 100 position i'm not able to generate block and i can't collect shares as reward.
So i think is not good to register as delegate.
..for now

wallet_create_from_json
What does this mean? what is json??
Sorry but as I have mentioned before no IT knowledge and just try to figure all this...

Json is a file format, like XML. It makes text machine readable.

I have not imported one yet. Does the json file have to be in a particular folder or can I list the path within the command?

when you backup wallet you can choose path and file name.
this process generate a .json file.
if you want to restore wallet, use the suggested command from toast wallet_create_from_json passing to it, json file name.
ty toast!
