If you have your discord username in the launchpad, as soon as your node earns a nano, it sends it back to maidsafe, and it gets counted by the bot.
The launchpad counts it as well, but when you reset the nodes, the launchpad’s counter resets as well… but your nanos are with maidsafe, and counted on the leaderboard.
The caveat here is that the bot can take several hours to report new nano’s it’s received back (especially with a big network) so there can be a reporting lag there.
