while going through bounty threads, I came across rewards in the form of stakes. like if you post 40 times on bitcointalk.org you will get 500 stakes. Does that mean you will get 500 coins?
stakes means coins or something else.
can somebody explain this?
thanks

Do you understand what is a stock of a company? Stake here has the same meaning, when you join a bonus campaign. They will set aside some % of the coin for the bounty campaign. Participants will receive stake each week based on what they receive. At the end of the campaign, the total number of coins you receive = the total number of coins available for the bounty campaign / total stakes of all participants * your total stakes. So, stake represents the return (coin) you will receive

Thanks a lot for such a nice explanation. Really it will help newbies like me to understand the concept of stakes.
