Hello, I want to know more about cardano rewards for small pool operators. Let’s assume i am running cardano stake pool with only 500ADA pledged to it, and i have no other delegators, as per my knowledge i will only receive rewards when new block is minted, so if i run node 24/7 is it possible to …

Eventually you will mint a block with your pledge alone. But it might fell like forever until this happens and you will totally on your own concerning your operating costs. To get one slot per epoch assigned (an average) you’ll currently have to have 1.055.000 Ada staked. So, for example, if you’re …

Hi @KingMaker , Your odds of finding a block in a certain epoch are about 500/1.000.000 = 0.05% This means 1/0,05% = 2000 epochs on average to find 1 block :grimacing: The easiest way to calculate these odds: Mnemonic device to help estimate the odds of your stake pool finding blocks (ada4good.co…

Hi, As per calculator if i stake 1000Ada i can still earn 1 ada per epoch and 55ada per year… is this correct…?

Staking 1000 ada will give you about 5,5% return per year. So yes, that would be about 55 ada a year. A year has 73 epochs (365/5) so on average (there will be fluctuations though) you would get 55/73= about 0,75 ada per epoch. But remember this is staking your ada at somebody else’s pool. When you…

Try this in the calculator … [image] and then have a look at the Simulated Rewards section [image]

In case running a pool is not for you and you should decide to delegate instead (for example because it would be more profitable), there is one metric that is especially important, which “cost per minted block”

So, to cover my cost i need at least 1 block(only counting 340ada per block) per 5 months, for that i need to pledge 50k ada. Most of the people in my state still don’t know much about crypto currency, and to purchase and stake a good amount of ada is like nearly impossible for people because of fe…

From the economical perspective, it’d be more correct to compare “running a pool” with “delegating to a pool”. If running a pool only covers your cost, your ROA would be 0. By delegating the same amount you could get 5-6%. There are various good option for folks like you. I’d naturally recommend an…

Sure, I will delegate to your pool in next epoch. Thank you for the information.
