Can you give an estimate on a full roll out of SafeCoin Validators? Testing is ongoing now, correct?
Great question, we're looking at a 7-10 day rollout and we're looking for community feedback on what they want to see in the validators.
Obviously, we're putting a lot of work into making them more accessible for people to run. Initial testing has gone well
I'm really looking forward to the SAFE Validators release.
So, i'm going to put my $0.02 in now for the perfect Validator ...
1) Rewards. I saw in Discord that currently 80% of all SafeCoin Classic emissions go to miners.
2) Will the current emissions rate remain unchanged? ( 1440 blocks x 4 SafeCoin = 5,760/day )
3) How will the emissions be split between the Validator and the delegated Stake?
Given the above, am I right to assume that the earnings potential of your SafeCoin stack will now be considerably higher than the former SafeNodes simply because of the loss of the miners emission share?
Looking at Solana, their overall emissions rate is around 8%/pa and the returns on their Validators are reported to be around 13%/pa.
That is correct. The reward allocation should be several 100% higher than it is now, simply because the whole block reward goes to Nodes/stakers
