Hi Everyone,
About a month ago, I posted a breif analysis of the Gala nodes system. Be sure to read this first, as it will fill you in on some of the background. I hope to write in a way that doesn't repeat what I last wrote, but also in a way that keeps things interesting even if you choose to not read my previous post.
Okay, so now that you have read my previous post, here's my short update:
- I paid 2.251 ETH for the license to run a Gala Node
- That is about $4,113 in today's dollars (or $4,016 in 2/11/21 dollars)
- I've been operating the node for 48 days, but only 45 of those days I have been eligible for rewards
- In total, I've earned around 1,000 GALA tokens per day
- On average, the price of GALA has been around 2.5 to 3.0 cents per coin.
- Thus, my average GALA per day has been around $25 to $30 per day
Efforts:
Besides the original investment, the effort to run a GALA node has been minimal. I would suggest that in a way, it has been enjoyable, basically the opposite of work. Because I'm actually interested in the future of blockchain based "earn to play" gaming, I'm actually pretty much getting paid to learn about how this stuff works...
That said, I had to put a $4,000 upfront investment (i.e. 2.25 ETH) to buy the node. However, if you have done the math by now, you will have calculated that I've earned over 50k in GALA tokens for operating my node, or approximately $1,407 for operating the node over 45 days. This is roughly $1k per month of extremely passive income.
In 1 year I will have generated enough Gala to possibly buy another node!
Okay, until next time, signing off.

If you are interested in purchasing a node for your own operations, consider using my link below. I will actually earn 10% of a point every distribution. I would be sure to pay some of that forward, as we can build capital together in this crazy new world.
