That's staking. It's the interest you get. 5% per year.
BTCD value over bitcoin changes daily. when 1BTCD = 0.1 BTC then just staking = $70 per day

not 100% sure

Thank you very much.  :-)

Edit:

Hmm, not syncing with the nodes in the ANN.


2nd Edit:

Nevermind.  Searched the thread and found some nodes.  All is good now.

Good man!   
... the OP really does have most of what you need to answer the initial questions about BTCD.

Im not bothered about the name but I do think it was a little uninventive.

5% per year is not so bad a return. If you feel there is some chance of price increasing, then this makes the return even better. If you feel some future dividends are worth something, then this makes the return even better. If you feel SuperNET could possibly generate some future dividends, then this makes the returns even better.

You just need to analyze the details to get a feel for what BTCD really is.

Hi James
I've noticed still using lots bandwidth with wallet. It starts ok but I still pick up rogue's if I leave my wallet staking, I end up with about 11Kb/s outgoing and 5KB/s incoming.

I know you and other devs are extremely busy with all that's going on and I don't mean to be a pest.

Since the SuperNET is combining of many other coins, BTCD is a smaller percentage of the total SuperNET, but it is hoped that it is better to have a smaller percentage of a larger thing.

correct in concept, there will also be NXT and BTCD and my assets and there are early bird bonuses that are adjusting the exact percentages

NXT asset, which can be used to trade against NXT in the NXT AE and against other assets via InstantDEX. The SuperNET asset will be getting dividends from the revenues it gets, so BTC, NXT, possibly denominated in other coins in the SuperNET core. The total price being paid for all these future dividends during the SuperNET IPO is ZERO. There is no premium being paid for this future revenues. I explained it here: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/762346.msg8614357#msg8614357

One of the services of SuperNET will be InstantDEX which will allow trading of any asset against any other asset. Since there are MGW assets for altcoins, this creates the ability for an altcoin exchange by trading against mgwBTC. However this requires that the altcoin supports MGW and many coins are in the process of getting supported. Alternatively it is possible to do direct telepod swaps or even subatomic swaps, but these are for some future time as the basic functioning is the first priority. The NXT AE is already operational for months and this is 1 minute blocktime and trading against NXT, so it is fine for many things, but for somethings not quite right


I have some people who are promising to make easy to understand documents and charts, so maybe it is best to wait for such things before the investing

Are there any figures for how many new userswallet downloads per month.....I must agree that you guys have generated a huge amount of interest which would explain lots of people syncing new wallets
thanks for the quick response........you don't happen to live on the International Space Station by any chance ? You just seem to be everywhere at once.....maybe you're identical twins or triplets.
I'll get out of the now.

Thanks your outstanding efforts

Wow,  We are at a record weight stake of 360000 !!!  Lots of people HODLing !!

Must have went up cause Cryptsy isn't processing BTCD withdraws. Perhaps staking and keeping the extra 5%'s for themselves.
