Evasive and deceptive?
Sandrine explains minting rewards.
http://forum.neucoin.org/t/multiply-your-neucoins-through-growth-accounts-and-mining/1677"Some examples to illustrate how compound interest affects returns from mining:
Consider four miners that each start with 100,000 coins and mine them from launch for one year: a very unlucky miner (Jonald), an unlucky miner (Rizz), a lucky miner (Kuato), and a very lucky miner (Visma)."
It goes on to say,
Jonald mints once a year
rizz twice
Kuato once a month
Visma every two days
A completely pointless and meaningless explanation.
Irrelevant and deceptive.
(quite funny though)
This would NEVER happen.
They all own 100,000 coins, so they receive the same, on average.
(the differences being shown here MUST be because of different stake sizes, not luck.)
No one with 100,000 coin will mint every two days.
And Sandrine goes on to says,
"So, what ARE the expected times to mint blocks based on stake size? Of course it isn’t based on luck at all.."
Correct, just what I was explaining,
And,
"It boils down to: what percent of TOTAL NeuCoins being staked are being staked by an individual miner."
Correct, so if they all own 100,000 coin they all, on average, get the same interest. (luck makes a small difference of course, but NOTHING like in Sandrines example)
So, the bigger the stake, the more often you mint, the more you compound, the higher the return %.
So, someone with 1m coin will stake every two days on average. lets call him primevalsoup. primevalsoup will make 147% on average.
rizz, who staked 11,000 coin (survey coin?) mints in 180 days. (or less because rates have decreased in a month, these are "todays" figures) will make 103% on average.
So, what if someone owned 300m coin, lets call him Dan.
Dan will be minting every 10 miniutes. 150 times a day.
4500 compounds per month, compared to primevalsoup 15 compounds per month. rizz 0.17 compounds per month.
So neucoin Project,
What is the interest rate for someone with 300m coin?
How much more than 147% is it?
A lot.
(anyone ?)
Also. For $2.25m work, founders will receive how many neucoin over 3 years?
Much more than my previous guesstimate of 1.5bn coin. ($15m presale)
2bn ($20m presale) ? More?
(Same question on founding team, angels, team, seed ect another 500m coin for staking?)
