Hi team ark,
Go gentle on me as I weave my understanding bell curve

I voted for my delegate 51 hours ago.
My delegate shows a stake payout at .25 which I'm thinking it's 4x daily?
Is there a "hold" time for my ark tokens before they start staking?
Thank you.
Some delegates have a min payout. If your payout doesn't meet that minimum, you won't get it until it does.
Thanks. Where do I find a delegates minimum?
Have a read at this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ArkEcosystem/comments/7mifbe/minimum_amount_of_ark_needed_to_receive_payment/Or check this out, it's a nice summary of all delegates with their voting power, min/max payout rates, uptime and so on:
https://arkdelegates.io/Worked great with information. Found out I needed 4 ark before payout.
Another question...
The delegates proposal claims 90% payout but the actual payout for the delegate is 80%
Is this normal?
It's been a year since I voted for my delegate and I never encountered this problem. Something must be wrong with your calculations. If that would be true what you're saying, people wouldn't vote him.
This is what I got off the delegate site on the person I voted for.
