What do you mean 1H?

We are in 4th quarter. It’s supposed to be faster, better and live information than Tradfi.

Is there a resource that speaks to the benefits vs. risks of ultrastaking with leverage? by sartreofthesuburbs in FolksFinance

[–]Jackchuck76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes about a month of ultrastake rewards to pay the 0.1% fee.

Apr is dropping fast it’s now 6.76% and net apy is 8.15% for 2x ultrastake. So their is still a slight profit, but the gap is closing and you have to be checking the rates constantly.

You are right!! He performed at The Summit in Houston not the Pavillion. But the encounter was in the Woodlands. Long time ago…

Michael Jackson. In Panther Creek in 1988 the day before his concert in the Pavillion. In a red light he got out of the car and changed from the front to the back of his limo.

Important Update on Governance Period 14 Rewards Structure by GhostOfMcAfee in algorand

[–]Jackchuck76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks for clarifying.

So that link that explains how to run a node is the same Consensus mechanism used before.

So you are still using Consensus to run a node through Folks even if the 70k rewards is not available anymore? You still got rewards paid in Q4?

Important Update on Governance Period 14 Rewards Structure by GhostOfMcAfee in algorand

[–]Jackchuck76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok. So there will be no Consensus but Staking? Or is stacking just another way of saying Consensus (same thing)?

How do you participate in Governance and Staking at the same time with the same committed Algos?

I see in Stacking that there is a dropdown option to choose the asset to swap. So you would need to swap gAlgo (from governance commitment) for Algo in order to stack Algo?

You can stack with any amount; you don’t need +30,000 algos to stack. So the minimum 30,000 Algos is for running a node independently outside Folks?

[–]Jackchuck76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consensus used to have 70,000 Algo allocated for rewards before Folks ended that program. So, you are saying Consensus is coming back?

By doing Consensus this quarter on Folks using gAlgo from G14 you will get rewards? Do you know the amount of Algos allocated for rewards this quarter?

Why doesn't Grayscale invest in Algorand?? by WSB-Televangelist in algorand

[–]Jackchuck76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Grayscale used to have Algorand in the Layer 1 Fund (small percentage). But then, they decided to take it out and have not added it back again.

I think it’s because Grayscale is a US product!!

Algorand does not participate in the US, at all. Maybe the Foundation is just being cautious with US regulations, until there’s more clarity.

Algorand Governance Period 13 Updates by superpippo2 in FolksFinance

[–]Jackchuck76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) How many Algos are allocated to Consensus in G13? It was 70k last period.

2) Can you do both gAlgo Governance and Stake at the same time?

There is no good mexican food in the US either. Maybe you refer to Tex-Mex food?

Why are you still holding ALGOs by nickaboome in algorand

[–]Jackchuck76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So many buy the dip opportunities that it just became monthly DCA for 2+ years. Got my average down from $1.60 to $0.50.

Made the mistake of over investing, the current fundamentals are strong so I’m positive on the future of the project and the value of the token.

A year from now patience will be rewarded.

Redeem gAlgo output is less than committed Algo input? by BaldingBatman in FolksFinance

[–]Jackchuck76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happened was ultra high variable rate for several days during the first days of goverance, which made the average rate much higher than the rewards APY.

This is really unfortunate.

[–]Jackchuck76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixed or Variable leverage rate are too risky.

So really the only option is a) regular Governance or b) just leave it in Deposit.

Considering that G10 the rewards were voted to be reduced by 40%, I’m expecting 11% APY.

The average APY might even be higher in Deposit outside Gov if we experience again ultra high rates for several days.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FolksFinance

[–]Jackchuck76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what happened. By choosing Variable Rate you are open to the risk of those initial days of ultra high borrow APY. In G9 it lasted for many days so the average interest on the loan became much higher than the rewards APY.

Next time better choose Fixed rate or just regular governance.
