Maximum Year One forging rewards for one delegate is thus 31,233 * 5 = 156,165 Lisk. The actual number will be somewhat lower.
Max and Oliver each own 4% of LISK. Therefore they each have 4 delegates = 624660 LISK generated in first year for each of them
That staking revenue should be enough to cover all of their personal expenses.
Am I correct in thinking the staking revenue will be the salary for Max and Oliver?
Surely they will not be taking salary from investor BTC for their personal expenses?
Ownership percentage does not guarantee the community will vote you into a delegate position. "Four percent ownership" does NOT mean "Has four delegate slots". Go read the Delegate Handbook and come back to post when you understand how Lisk really works.
So isn't it true, that you can vote yourself up there if your amount is high enough?
