As has been said a thousand times in this thread it is 1% nominal interest. That 1% can be compounded as much as every 8 hours. If you don't understand what compound interest means then go look it up. If you don't think that will be enough POS then don't bother, leave it to the people who actually understand.

I don't really understand it because of the randomness nature of it. Could you tell me if I have lets say 0.1% of the total coins i.e. 100k BC, and the PoS begins, how many am I expected to have after 10 days? 100 days? year?

Thanks!

look, after a years you can without any big problem use simple interests of 1%.

So, 100k*(1,01)=101k,something...

No, I dont' think that's what artiface said.

uhm...even i you use compound interest, is very little more than 1% per year.

Do the math. If you compound 1% 3 times a day your actually getting about 120% in one month. Again it's doubtful that your coins will stake every 8 hours, but even if your coins stake 1% only once every 3rd day - 10 times in a month, that comes out to 10% real interest.

For one, that would be 10% nominal interest, which is greater than 10% real interest. If the PoS is 1% nominal and its compounded every 8 hours then you would receive 1/(365*3(compounded 3 times a day))% per compound period. So that equates to about 0.00091% interest every 8 hours.

I checked the source code and you're right I'm an idiot. I was thinking it was 1% per period, but that would be incredibly inflationary. 1% per year makes much more sense. That makes getting in now much more important because there will be a very low amount of new coins generated after POW.
