Light masternodt XDNA gets 3% of the found block. This is written in the description of the project on the website and on the first page of this thread on the forum.
Personally I hold a Full MN, so I can't answer you.
But it's really easy to calculate it by yourself and this way you'll be able to plan ahead and invest based on the conditions you believe that'll become reality in the near future, here's how.
One day has 24 hours and every 1 hours 60 XDNA blocks are generated. You need to know how many Masternodes of the same level are active and how much is the block reward, which is dynamic and controlled by the BitGun algorithm. The BitGun levels we've visited are from 1 to 7, so the rewards would be from 4 to 25 respectively.
A Light MN gets 3% of that reward, so from 0.12 XDNA to 0.75 XDNA per block.24 (hours) * 60 (mined blocks)
/ MN (amount of masternodes) * XDNA (amount of your MN rewards per block)Right now the best option would be a Medium Masternode because they are the fewest among the three levels, but if you insist on calculating the rewards on a Light MN...
With about 125 Light MNs,
24 * 60 / 125 * 0.12 XDNA = 1,3824 XDNA per day
Now think that we reach again the hashrate we had after we forked to the HEX hashing algo, but a 20% more MNs are added so the competition will be harder,
24 * 60 / 150 * 0.75 = 7,2 XDNA per day
As you can imagine, the early adopters who already had a MN 2 months ago made very good profit! I believe history will repeat itself, if you believe that as well, then you can prepare while it's still early.Actually, I am an early adopter with a level one light masternode and I am nowhere near getting ROI.
The cost to mine was much higher in the beginning than it is now. My light Masternode has only earned a little shy of 400 coins, which I have sold along the way. Unfortunately, the price of xdna has fallen from a high of 20000 sats BTC to what it is now. Hopefully, the price will recover.
That's true... I suppose you meant "the cost to buy"?
I also waited the price to drop and bought most of my coins at 0.30$, I was expecting a price drop after the fork because... you remember when Crypto-Bridge was the only exchange and they had XDNA's withdraws locked for like 2 weeks? It was obvious the price would tank when miners would dump their coins, the estimated earnings for mining were wrong because of Crybto-Bridge's laziness and we had a lot more miners than we should have.
But I did not expect such a low price, I guess this had a snowball effect which was amplified by the overall bear market.
At least we seem to be kind of steady in this price. All that's left now is for the core team to finish their work with the Foundation site and mobile wallet and then we're ready for campaign #2 !
Last time we had a successful algo switch and a campaign that boosted the price. This time we'll have a successful 2nd site launch, a fork which will slowly reduce the mining rewards and a mobile wallet along with the campaign, all that has to account for a bigger price boost! And this time we also have a 2nd, bigger exchange to support the price.
Everything's gonna be fine!
