One year later will this wallet get 1% reward? Or are there any constraints?
Thanks
Anyone?
The rewards come in "every now and then", you will receive
coincount / (365*100)
average per day.
So you would only get the 1% if you ran your client constantly for a year? Presumably, staking is measured by the hour not the day?
And if you miss 'your share' as you weren't staking, does it get distributed to the others that were? Or does the 1% inflation decrease for that year?
Thanks
No, you will earn your 1% regardless of whether or not you have your wallet open for the full year. You will receive the interest once you re-open your wallet.
The advantage of having your wallet open all the time is that you help secure the network, and also earn compound interest on your 1%.
Ah, thats sounds better but what you mean by "compound interest"? Can you give an example?
If you keep your wallet open permanently, you earn a fraction of your annual 1% each day ( 1/365th to be precise ). So for every day that passes, you are earning 1/365th of your original wallet's value plus interest already earned.
If you start with 100,000 BC today, tomorrow you will earn : ( 100,000 * .01 ) / 365 = 2.7BC
So tomorrow your balance will be 100,002.7
You will then earn interest on that balance, which is : ( 100,002.7 * .01 ) / 365 = 2.74BC
So your balance will increase to : 100,005.44
And so on
So you get 1% from opening up you wallet (inflation element) and an additional 1.005% from staking constantly for a year (((.01/365)+1)^365) -1 = 1.0050029%
(N.B. the staking period appears to be 8 hours so 365*3 = 1095 should probably be used instead of 365 to get a true rate, it will be the same in the end though)
Where does the BC for the staking come from? Fees?
