Have you bought a Node or are you interested? lets do some math first to calculate the anual return rate (AYR) of the first year.
Some estimations:
| Item: | amound | unit |
|---|---|---|
| Price SPS | 0,1 | Dollar |
| Bought: | 22500 | -SPS |
| SPS Year distributed: | 40500000 | +SPS |
| AYR SPS staking | 40 | % |
| release nodes | 6 | Months |
| Node running cost | 7 | -% |
| Missed SPS from Staking | 4500 | -SPS |
Now we assume the amound of SPS use to buy a node will not be used to stake SPS so it is "lost" SPS.
The calculation for the return in percentage is in orange.
The calculation for the return in percentage after the cost deduction is in blue.
This means if only 3000 nodes will be running you will earn roughly 90% of your node in SPS, but you missed some juicy SPS staking rewards. This needs to be acounted in the purchase. Running a node will require some cos. I estimate someone will do it for a 7% cut.
After those costs: 47% AYR in the first year you have the node. Not bad! however things go down the more nodes are in use. It mightbe cheaper and easier to simple stake SPS.
Thats just my opinion and there are some wild estimates. If you believe in Splinterlands in the long term, i do think owning a node is the way to go!
| Nodes active | Node Cost | Node Cost + missed SPS staking | SPS gain / Year | SPS gain / Year - node running cost | A.Y.R. (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1000 | 22500 | 27000 | 40500 | 37665 | 139,50 |
| 2000 | 22500 | 27000 | 20250 | 18833 | 69,75 |
| 3000 | 22500 | 27000 | 13500 | 12555 | 46,50 |
| 4000 | 22500 | 27000 | 10125 | 9416 | 34,87 |
| 5000 | 22500 | 27000 | 8100 | 7533 | 27,90 |
| 6000 | 22500 | 27000 | 6750 | 6278 | 23,25 |
