Back of napkin calculation, do I have this right?

6 million BLOCKs are burned.
The top holders with enough to run a service node have roughly 3.6 million according to https://chainz.cryptoid.info/block/#!rich
The rest have 470k

Assuming that everyone who can run a service node is, and anyone who can stake is doing so.

If you have 5k and run a service node, you get a reward of 0.7 * 5k / 3.6 million = 0.00097222222
If you have 5k and stake through your wallet, you get a reward of 0.3 * 5k / 470k = 0.00319148936

Or do service nodes get both the service and staking reward?

if u run node service, u'll ve stake reward + transactions fees (≈ 0,13%-0,15%)...
The stake rewards 'll be negligible compared to transactions fees ...

If BLOCK succeeded to attract cryptocurrencies exchangers, u can imagine the volume of transit through the nodes, and the gains that can be generated by each node.

Thanks that makes sense. The piece that I was missing is that 1 BLOCK is already being created per minute. Proof of staking is new to me

. I wish I had found out about this project earlier, its incredibly promising.

Does anyone know exactly how the 5000 requirement to run a node was decided? I saw it was referenced earlier as being decided by vote - so what's the benefits of 5000, and not 10000? Or 1000? The number sets an effective upper limit on the total market cap of the coin, correct?
