Given that I'm going to buy at least one Validator node i've been wondering whether I should keep MORE SPS liquid ready for the purchase.
I've actually already got enough liquid SPS to buy ONE node but what I was thinking is whether I'm better off having another 10K SPS or so liquid to immediately cover my DEC pool after I purchase (assuming I'm successful).
OR, am I better off keeping it staked and then just restacking the DEC pool with SPS gradually over a couple of weeks after the purchase.
You're definitely better off pooling compared to staking.....
According to Peakmonsters, the return for staking SPS is 56.65% when factoring in both SPS and VOUCHER.
This means that 1000 SPS staked for 10 days = 15.52 SPS per 1000 (paid out in SPS and VOUCHER)
Based on ((1000/56.65%)/365*10)
Compare this to what 1000 SPS pooled with DEC gives you.....
You'll need 76286 DEC to pool with SPS which gives you 152000 airdrop points which gives you 11.164 SPS a day, paid out in SPS, or 110 SPS over 10 days...
(Based on 0.000073 SPS per airdrop point....)
HOWEVER, you then have to add on half of that to the SPS stake above because you'd still be getting the DEC half if you staked yer SPS.
So the final comparison is...
- 1000 SPS staked plus SPS to solo DEC drop.... 70.52 SPS over 10 days, or 7.5 SPS a day
- 1000 SPS pooled with DEC over 10 days... 110 SPS over 10 days, or 11 SPS a day.
HOWEVER, Opportunity cost means I'm probably better off staking until the last minute....
Because otherwise I'm loosing 7.5 SPS a day every day I've got 1000 SPS kicking around idle, which is MORE than the relative gain I'd get from pooling it!
Simple, I think!
I'm off to stake some SPS!
