The specs show a POS of 8% but I only get 0.5 AMS per stake. Does the OP need to be updated? It is really 0.5 AMS per stake?
correct me if I'm wrong but I always assumed that it reads like:
you would on average generate an 8% revenue (regarding the balance of stake-ready coins within the staking min/max parameters) per year by POS minting ...or would you?
...haven't run the tx history of my staking wallet through analysis as of now... yet however, after a darn rough guesstimate I had the impression of even a sheer ~50% rev. over a year (if you'd read %stake like above) if frequency and orph rate roughly stay the same... and I found no reasonable evidence suggesting this might actually change at some point in the future...
so to speak briefly: this wallet is minting as if the end of all days is close
it's flinging coins like a dripping spigot... ~2-5% orphans due to network latency or dropouts (which is reasonably fine regarding a yield on avg. every ~5-6min)...
...and then there have been some intervals with no active masternodes, leading to the whole 1.0 per yield staying in your own wallet. no masternodes, no sharing... but I assume this will be ruddy rare events when masternode installations increase over time.
about that dip in price ...however, nothing to be especially worried about at this point of market positioning... sure thing miners dump a fair amount of coins for profit. it's part of the nature of the concept, that's why most of the mining happens in the first place
I actually enjoy that there's not toooo much of buywalls atm so that little dip as well forks some of the dump into my stash for a budget
