+ | ===== More Info ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are a few variables in calculating the exact block reward (which is virtually impossible to be 100% accurate each block). Let's break this down: | ||
+ | |||
+ | For example, if there were 50 minters who are level 1, and 50 minters who are level 2, there would be a TOTAL of 100 minters in the first block reward tier (5% between levels 1 & 2). | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this same example, let's assume that all 100 are ACTIVE minters (each minter must be fully synced and actively minting each block to earn their portion of the block reward). 5% block reward divided by 100 minters equals 0.0005 per minter. Now, for easy math, let's assume the current block reward is 4.5 QORT (the block reward schedule changes as seen below on this page under the 'Block Rewards' subsection. 0.0005 of 4.5 QORT equals 0.00225 QORT per block for a level 1 or 2 minter (each minter would earn 0.00225 QORT per block in this example). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Obviously we currently have more than 100 minters in this tier group, and as we experience further adoption, the total number of active minters in each tier will continue to grow. This is what we want! More minters, more network support, more decentralization! The collective attitude should be to support the network by running a node and with time, the value of QORT will surely RISE with such a limited release schedule along with further applicability of QORT within Qortal. | ||

The block rewards on Qortal are meant to be never-ending. Since QORT is a coin on chain, there should always be new QORT available to power the various services on the network. | The block rewards on Qortal are meant to be never-ending.

- | No Total Cap on QORT coin, every ‘6 months’ there is a decrease in block reward from its start at 5 QORT, by .25, until 2 QORT is the reward. Thereafter, a vote can be made with the suggestion of an increase or decrease of 0.25 to 1 QORT difference per block via vote, however, this type of vote can only take place one time per ‘year’ (in blocks). For example, if the current block reward was 3 QORT, the vote could only be: 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75 & 4 QORT. (Only up to a 1 QORT difference up or down or any 0.25 increment between.) Block reward can only be voted to as low as 1 QORT per block, or as high as 5 QORT per block. These are the minimum and maximum block reward range Qortal will EVER potentially see. We are currently at 4.75 QORT per block. | + | No Total Cap on QORT coin, approximately |
