Staking

requirements collateral 100 000 octa node reliability for last 30 days >= 90% node must be verified reward distribution scheme the billing period is 1 week (every 7 days) amount of reward depends on how much staking nodes already activated, how much blocks mined (may vary due to block time), what hardware installed on node and what services provided by it in case if no services provided, node will receive only base reward (60%) if block time is always 15 seconds then the following amount of blocks would be mined 1 minute 4 1 hour 240 1 day 5760 1 week 40320 in this calculation we will use reward amount for arcturus and oldenburg eras where 1 5 octa from each block going to staking fund the total amount of coins mined for 1 week would be 60480 octa let’s assume we have 10 nodes up and running, then the 60480 octa would be distributed across they in the following proportion 60% (base reward) 36240 octa, 3624 for each node 10% (vpn reward) 6040 octa, 604 for each node which provide vpn service 10% (rent reward) 6040 octa, 604 for each node which provide renting service 20% (gpu reward) 12080 octa, 1208 for each node which provide renting service with gpu in case of no nodes for which needs to distribute 40% (except base reward) the coins will be left in staking fund for the next round most profitable variant is to have node with gpu and which provides both services such node will be rewarded by 6040 octa per week and also additional payments for services usage how to configure install the node configure it by setting up prices, turn on/off vpn service providing, specify ports and so on… in cube in staking menu choose your node and specify your wallet address with balance 100 000 octa or more wallet address must be unique per node, staking rewards will be sent to this address so be sure you have full access to it how it works in a nutshell when node and staking are configured the system will start periodic checks of node availability and monitoring wallet balance if the system detects that a wallet balance is less than 100 000 octa then staking for this node will be deactivated be aware about your node uptime, it’s a very important metric, nodes which have uptimes less than 95% for the last 30 days will not be rewarded if the system detects a balance below 100,000 on an already activated node, the node and wallet pair will be suspended for a 30 day period
