Anyone can please answer this?

Is 500 Shift worth staking? What sort of returns can I expect every month?

It all depends on which pools you join. All pools payout a little differently. If you can become a delegate, you will make about 1000 Shift per month, but you have to be voted top 101. Most just join pools that are already delegates.

Thanks but I wanted to get an idea like how much return can I expect in general (not exact figures). I know pools payout a particular percentage but overall there must be a range right? Like if ROI is 1 Shift a year from voting with 10k then it's not worth it. That's what I want to know.

It's pretty impossible to tell right now. More pools get voted in every day and as people move funds to and from the exchanges your voting weight, and therefore payout, will change. However, if you go to Vekexasia's neat tool he posted about a few pages ago and plug in an address from the explorer with about 10k, you can see they're earning about 50 Shift/month

So about 6% return per year if my match is correct. It's not bad, and obviously we all hope Shift will go up in value as well, but it's no GPU miner making ROI in 90 days. Basically if you're already invested, vote for pools and other solid delegates, and it's not a bad idea to buy some and vote for another source of passive income and possible investment appreciation. But don't expect to double your money in a year. To my knowledge, no other DPOS coin would return much more either.

would like to see a dedicated marketing team hired once mainnet is ready. devs shouldnt be handling marketing, devs are for dev.

Marketing is planned once Phantom is running and stable on mainnet. They won't stop anyone from marketing themselves, but the team wants to have a working product before official marketing is done.

Thanks a lot. I got the answer I was looking for
