More or less. As a delegate, you get 15 LSK(at least that's the last number I remember) every 17 minutes, plus transaction/other fees. So it's pretty much fixed. Specs don't really play a role(as long as the server is capable of fulfilling the task), uptime obviously does.

Thnx for the info! So basicly this would mean that daily around 128k of Lisk will be forged? It would be 46 million Lisk a year so i guess i made some math mistake?

What is the benefit of having more servers? Is it just to be sure that you have 100% uptime as a delegate or it can bring you more Lisk?



5 LSK each block forged, 4-5 blocks per hour ...it means ~480 LSK every day.



5 LSK per block. Every 17 minutes you forge a block (3/h). About 400 LSK a day or 12,000 LSK a month.

Oops… Yeah, that's quite the difference. Corrected in the other post to prevent confusion.

You can obviously try to run more than one delegate position, but I believe that it will be frowned upon.

How exactly the voting mechanisms will work out, whether there are a lot of changes or not, remains do be seen. It can very well be, that it's close to pointless to have a server waiting for a slot, as long as there are no sidechains to forge for, but the opposite can be true as well. I suspect that we will see 90+ delegates in very fixed positions and the other places will change a lot.

Once sidechains emerge, you can use your server to support those, and since most of those who do, will probably apply for a delegate position on the mainchain as well, we will have lots of good proposals to choose from and lots of backups.
