I will post my opinion about FlyNodes. I really like the idea and sure it will make FLY price grow.
Buuut I still remember Vegasguy's saying "Help the little guy", it was in the old thread. To be honest, I don't know if such a rule is still in force, but in my opinion, FlyNodes WILL NOT help the little guy. "Little guys" won't receive anything while those who had a lot of coins before implementing this amazing feature will get even more. I will try to do some math.
One FlyNode costs 500 coins. Right now (12.09.16 23:10 UTC) on Yobit, 500 FLY at the sell side are worth about 0.34391704 BTC, I will round it to 0.34 BTC.
Now, I open
random FlyCoin address from Block Explorer's richlist. I don't know who owns it. If we look on transactions associated with this address, we can see that this wallet does POS Mining. I didn't calculate a lot, but the average reward is 0.6~0.9 FLY, I will round it up to 1 FLY.
Masternode reward is 5% of the POS reward (I hope I understood it right, otherwise my math is wrong and not worth of further reading). 5% of 1 FLY is 0.05 FLY.
Now lets imagine that market is stable and the buy price is at least 55k sats.The minimum (without additional 200 FLYs) reward is going to be 2750 sats.
I opened the
source code of GitHub to check out the maximum block time, it is 10 minutes.
So the minumum is (60 / 10) * 24 = 144 blocks per day. Lets assume that "when choosing the recepient of the masternode reward" everyone is equal, a guy with the bigger wallet won't have more chances. So, for example, there are 50 masternodes. Chance of me getting the reward is 1/50 (2%). Lets assume that the guy who owns that POS wallet sets up (6794 (wallet's current balance) \ 500) = 13 nodes + some chenage for an ice cream
Let these 13 masternodes be a part of the total masternodes of the network, so the chance to get a reward is 13/50 (26%). With this probability, I imply that I'll receive 26% of the daily rewards (144 (min blocks/day) * 0.0000275 (price of the one reward) * 0.26 (chance)) = 0.0010296 BTC/day min. So, such amount of masternodes will be profitable after (0.34 * 13 (masternode price * masternode count) / 0.0010296 (BTC per day return)) about 330 days.
330 days even for the rich guy like whom wallet I used for doing math.
A poor, *cough* I mean "not so rich", guy like me who can't afford even 1 masternode at the current price will rely on POS rewards (for me, an estimated reward time is 450 days lol), but anyway the richier holders will receive a share of them.
I am *sure* that there IS a mistake in my math, so I'd be glad if someone corrects me.
Here is how I proved that the "lower class" will receive nothing but the rich people will benefit just more and more, however such process will be slow anyway.
Lets assume that "when choosing the recepient of the masternode reward" everyone is equal, a guy with the bigger wallet won't have more chances. So, for example, there are 50 masternodes.
Your wallet is your masternode. With flynode, there is nothing to create, or setup, or collateralize. 1 node for each person max, with no other option. That makes the fairness perfectly equal. Everyone has the same chance of being rewarded regardless of balance.
for example, there are 50 masternodes.
There wont be 50 Flynodes. I constantly check the number of connections, and its usually around 18-20. That makes your chances of being chosen for the node reward much higher.
Chance of me getting the reward is 1/50 (2%).
Your chances of being chosen is the exact same as mine, which I believe will be about 1 in 20. Everyone has same chance of being chosen.
So, ive given many suggestions on how to easily get to 500 fly. The social media campaign is one. The other will be the upcoming multipool that will payout in fly. I will be giving bonuses each week to the highest hashers of each algo. Another way to really earn fly.
Additionally to make it even more fair, Im going to try to implement a system were if you have not received a flynode reward , then your wallet will begin to gain weight, much like staking. If you have not staked in 20 days, you have a much higher chance of staking. This makes it even more fair. I dont know yet if this can be implemented or not. But if it can, you can be sure I will.
The bottom line is this. Flycoin is actually more fair than any other coin out there. Here is why. 99% of coins operate the same way. The guys with the higher balance will always get larger rewards. Thats how Crypto is. But to try to bring things more into balance, I have created LOADS of ways to gain fly without any cost at all. So if anything, we are more fair. Ill also add that in the past year when we are trying to implement the anti-dump system, a few of you lost coins. Sometimes, it was no fault of my own , and users didnt update and forked and lost coins. Here is a fact:
Not one coin has been lost under my watch, because I have reimbursed the users every single time. Im trying to think if there is a dev out there that has even reimbursed a user for a lost coin , even once. I have, my fault or not,
every single time. Thats the real reason you should be with fly, because:
I am committed to making Fly the best and most trusted coin out there, and fly will be, because I wont stop until that happens.
