Steaking monthly return predictions? Is 5% possible?

chainlinks staking is different to the regular fake enflating staking on shitcoins.
chainlink staking will require you to actually participate in the network.

so staking is good for us but not the way you think.

if you plan to run your node the returns can be seen already each request is paid about 0.1 link.

if you dont run your node than the only way to make some link is by lending your link to a node operator pool.

either way we will all profit from staking b cause its a virtuous cycle that will grow the network. and since the rokzn grows with the network. we already made it

Chainlink staking confuses me. I understand why it’s valuable to the network, but from the perspective of an ordinary investor it’s hard to speculate.

Surely it will have to pay more than crypto.com, to incentivize those who are capable, to actually run new nodes rather than parking their link into a lending platform.

So let's say I stake my measly 2k nulink stack.
In your opinion we might have a 5%monthy at the very beginning wehn the network is growing and when we reach a huge size it levels off leaving us with 0.5-4% annual gains?

Even that would be ok right?

>>19786032
I'd imagine initially given the risk and fewer number of nodes the return will be more than 5%, possibly 10%. There's so many factors though it's even harder to predict than the price alone, also will depend on what kind of contracts you're providing data to. Data that is more exclusive and for higher value contracts (derivatives) will have higher payouts whereas neet nodes will probably be doing more basic price feeds and time data/offhcain computation that can't be tampered with.
I think pooling services will be really effective especially for neets once staking starts to be phased in, it's my udnerstanding that pooling services and KYC nodes will get staking first before normie nodes to prevent reputation farming/sybil attacks.
But yeah pooling services like linkpool will be accessing higher value contracts from the very get go I reckon, because they've been vetted by link and are working with the team, plus will have 10s of millions worth of link to stake.
Oracles will be the new miners ;)

>>19786032
The way i understand things, you take the problem in the wrong way. Here me out.

Yes it will be about 5% probably, but 5% of what? The price of link itself, speculation bubble aside, will depend on how many money is paid yearly by the nodes.

For example if 1 billion is spender each year on nodes, each link will grant $1 per year.
Given the nature of the investment as said, people would certainly be ok to pay at least $20 to own one link, given that 5% is a very good ROI.
So if we have 1 billion dollar payload by nodes in a year, we can expect a $20 price for chainlink, maybe more if people think a roi of 3% is enough reward for the risk, maybe even more if we get some speculative bubble going.

Now how much dollars can nodes actually make each year when LINK is at full capacity? Only time will tell, suffice to say it might be enormous, OR it might fail miserably as most crypto project will.

>>19786171

Are you aware of the fact that unlike PoS blockchains, with Chainlink if you stake more than the colateral requested by smart contracts you don't get more rewards? There is a limit for how much contracts asking for colateral you'll be able to serve. Once you pass that limit, if you let users stake you are actually cutting their rewards.

Let me be clear, if you serve 200 contracts that ask for 1 million USD in LINK as colateral at the same time, you will only need 200 million USD in LINK staked. If you reach that limit and you keep allowing your users to stake, you are not going to earn more, but instead your users will earn LESS. That's why the Coinbase having their own node it's not a valid situation.

Imagine Coinbase open their node for people to lend them collateral. Either you are one of the firsts doing it or you will probably won't be able to stake unless you buy some staking-allowance token from one of the staking pools. If let's say Coinbase or Stakewithus.link allowed users to stake ALL their LINK even when they don't need that much for serving job requests, their return percentage will be shit because they would be cutting their users reward by having to distribute the same amount of LINK among more users.

Did a little thought experiment same as you. Looking at what the expected price is to be once staking is released, and expected percent returns I came up with this probability chart for someone with 17K link.

The green areas represent a high likelihood of happening since you want to incentivize staking over just selling for cash and investing or storing it and getting interest on it. They also represent the return per year at that rate for the theoretical price in column A. The yellow is unlikely, and red is probably not happening, at least not for a while price wise.

Where do you think that LINK is coming from, moron?

Chainlink is absolutely an inflationary scam. Nobody is paying to use the feeds, and the feeds is the only part of the network that's getting usage at all. Chainlink pays for these requests by releasing new LINK to the circulating supply.

Let me repeat: Nobody is paying for using the Chainlink network of oracles right now, besided Chainlink. Thus, Chainlink is as much of an inflationary scam as Synthetix, and if they know what's good for them, they won't release staking before they have paying customers. Otherwise I will personally report them to the SEC for the Ponzi scheme they're running.

Yes. In the early stages of staking the link will be coming from the link team's 35% of tokens held for early staking incentives. So early staking rewards could be very high, or maybe not so much.

Unlikely, the base price would rise (as boomers buy in/ignore the tech and use it solely as an investment vehicle) to the point where it drops to 6-10%.

Too lazy to re-read and quote some people but calculating (guessing) percentages really isnt the way to do it...and is effectively the completely assbackwards way to think about it. The propper calculation is to sum up the potential markets/industries that SC's will dominate or overthrow, deduct a reasonable cost savings that would entice that industry to switch, and then calculate that as a function of USD per year per link. IE: online gambling is worth 60b revenue, CL/SC backend and payment processing could probably fetch 10-15b easily (rough industry estimates are -40% or -24b in operating-dev costs)....returning ~25-40 per link per year depending on how diluted you believe the circulating to be. Therefore price should rise to approx 300 (for 30usd/10% yearly). That revenue is expected to double to 120b by '27...I suspect that easily accessible non KYC grey market online gaming with prove-able randomness and completely transparent backend will likely grow that normie projection a much more significant amount and/or take away from the 450b brick and mortar casino revenues.

One of the smaller, albeit easier and currently implementable, usecases for SCs. Add in about 10 more major industries with larger numbers and higher overhead/employee costs and the numbers start to get hopium tier. The one issue is that the profit distribution wont be even across every link, as im sure the boomers will end up only utilizing known and trusted or established node operators. So that skews numbers even more, and may end up with google, microsoft, and oracle nodes taking the lion's share of those numbers and us neets fighting over our shitty 3% returns in pools (with a token price still in the high 3 or 4 digit range).

No. Yes, they're currently paying the nodes with those funds for the free to use reference datas...but the whole point of steaking is to ensure the actual paying customers they're getting the correct service (data) when they're actually paying money. Nothing you get from running a node/pool will be directly from CL, it will be entirely paid by a requester and the terms (price) will be entirely decided by the marketplace (nodes v customers).

Trucking is an approx 260b revenue industry in the US (1.2 trill world). the top 20 companies pocket 3-7% profit, although I don't know if that's completely accurate or if they hide/over re-invest for tax purposes. Either way, the cost of actual driving employees only accounts for 10-20% depending on number of owner op/lease and full on company drivers there are. The rest is useless and often redundant office workers, office real estate, and lawyers. All very easily replaced by SC's. Ignoring the huge streamlining of automating dispatch and paperwork for drivers, and estimating on the high side... SC's will save 180b a year in trucking, in the US alone. Roughly 65-275 dollars per link per year...with a 4.5x to 11.5x gain in profits for the companies (and current, insanely low shipping rates).

The numbers are pretty nuts. The only problem being is that a majority of worker drones will be made obsolete as soon as this ball starts rolling.

if you were in LINK prior to 2019 I have nothing but love for you. If you bought after mainnet I have nothing but contempt for you. This is a 10 year hold at minimum.

This.

Staking on platforms like Tezos, or any other SC service where the staking is just a ways to validate transactions is a meme. you get 5% returns, but you are literally contributing 0. It's just useless minting of tokens for holding them without providing value. why the fuck does 5% ROI happen if these tokens are only worth something because someone else might pay more for them? just buy BTC for that, which I do.

With Link, staking returns will actually be a REWARD for PARTICIPATING in the network itself, and PROVIDING VALUE to the network.
It wont be enough to send you little shitty meme coins to Binance and then get baked Tezos every month for nothing.
You will actually have to fucking provide the network with data, or at least validate this data, and assume some responsibility for it (or risk losing your collateral). There is both RISK involved, and som VALUE being added to the network. For this, the rewards actually fucking make sense, and have some deterministic inherent value which is a complicated mechanism of the risk, the value, the data, and the token itself.

The % ROI actually makes sense. You are doing something valuable, unlike useless little memecoins giving you free tokens without any risk involved and for simply holding it, and not even having to set up a node to provide data to the network.

This is why LINK will explode and it's why Link is actually legit. it's building something real and tangible in value and creating it's own ecosystem and game theory. except it isn't limited to what is already in the system like Eth, Tez or any other faggy SC platform. it actually takes data from anywhere outside blockchain environments and gives it a value.
Obviously this gatekeeps neets out of it, but that's good. It stops it from being a meme (lol imagine neets and pajeets sending their meme coins to binance and getting staking rewards for literally nothing) and ensures that the network is actually producing.

Becase other staking meme coins are useless. you click a button for holding it long enough but yo aren't providing anything to the network.

Imagine you made your own currency, nobody wants it, its useless, and you say if you hold x amount of it, you are allowed to have 5% of what you hold every year from me, who mints more every day.

What fucking USE? is it? none what so ever. you are providing nothing by holding it to get more, and the token is not getting more valuable over time. its just inflating the only hope is some other idiots will come buy it for more over time. speculation. thats what its like with staking right now on most meme coins, and its why they can offer 5% ROI for literally holding it and doing fuck all but pressing "claim rewards" every month.

The only exception is lending platforms, but you are only getting ROI for taking on a RISK then. you are now providing liquidity, so value to the network, while having risk, and you get reward. this is how financial markets already work.
This is DEFI.

Link is taking it a step further and collateralize data itself, and also combining that risk etc.

You don't have to, but would you care to explain what I got wrong? I'm not a retard I just don't have the knowledge in this tech, the reason I invested in link is that I know how to read people and my instinct told me that Nazarov was at the same time smart and honest, smart enough to have chances to accomplish what he would try and honest enough not to run away with the money

It's not POS (piece of shit) so you wont get guaranteed returns in a staking pool.
Unless that staking pool is constantly doing jobs to its maximum limitations of the collateral it has. if there are enough jobs to go around then sure, but i doubt that will be the case at least initially.

It's not POS like other blockchains. the returns for staking depend on jobs being completed. found, accepted, and completed. it's not quite so automatic.

Oh I agree, I won’t stake until a good 1-2 year out or until I feel the network is safe enough and the nose operators have been given good reputations. That being said serg did talk about network fees bring used, so hopefully that revenue will be passed down to the stakees.

Its a soft ponzi but it does work as an incentive for people to keep the coins out of the market, some stocks are doing similar things with dividends and they're going fine.

OP's dopamine is running low and he just wanted you to post a high number and say this is the estimated monthly staking return. Not post a long explanation about how staking will work

id estimate based on my analysis that we will generate staking returns of between 6 and 7.5% monthly

Plenty of shitcoins were shilled here and elsewhere, I'll admit freely that even in 2017 link had the best memes but I actually bought it because I first listened to Sergey speak and I judged his character to be good for the task.
I've listen to plenty of other altcoins creators who were shilled here and all of them appeared to me to be scammers or imbeciles except for Vitalik and the BAT guy whatever his name is.

>> No.19793595

personally as a 15k Linkie, i have no intention to stake.
It's both going to be too difficult for a random person like me, and I wont have access to professional networks or API to even properly participate, none the less maintain a node and all that entails.

I used to think i'd stake, but the more i understood i realised it doesn't make sense for random people like me. I'm better off selling it when it is $500+
it's enough money to retire with my stack anyway.
If i had like 3K link i'd probably need to find a way to learn how to do that and invest in the systems etc.

I liked ARK meme too but they were a bit too specific and forced if you catch my drift, I still bought one ARK at the time for shits and giggle.
FUN had semi ok memes too but even those couldn't convince me to buy this shitcoin even as a joke.

You know there is much to be said about meme reading, if you compare link memes to fun memes early 2018 for exemple you see that link memes were very self-aware and confidents, half of the meme serving to FUD more than anything. On the other side fun memes were very arrogants, they felt like a teenager trying very hard to be cool.
From meme study alone, a lot could be deducted.
