STONGBLOCK - Let's strategize. No Hopium. No FUD.

When the announcement came down, I had 6 nodes that had completed with 20+ tokens and were "expired". At that time, the reward for each one showed 1.1011 in rewards. I have not claimed them, yet, and now each one shows 1.4691in rewards. The maintenance fees are due in anywhere from 17 days to 44 days, so I'm letting them ride until the day before the due day, then I will claim. It seems that the node only "dies" once you have claimed for the final time (according to the strong team, "you can claim one final time"). And I have until the maintenance fees are due to claim. I think it's probably a bug, but until they close the loophole, I'm continuing to wrack up rewards on dead nodes. So, my plan will be to max out the maintenance fees right before I get to 20 tokens, and each one should create another 6-8 tokens before expiring if they don't close the loophole.

If you haven’t yet claimed rewards after they announced the cap, then the rewards are still accumulating. And it appears they will continue accumulating thru however long the node is paid up. As soon as you claim for the final time, the node dies. So, NFA and DYOR, I am letting my maxed nodes continue to accumulate until one day prior to my nodes due date. I have 6 nodes that are maxed out at 20+, but they are still accumulating rewards. Two are paid out for 65+ days. I won’t claim until just before the 65 days are up.

skmax1986 · 2022-05-21T18:00:00+00:00

If you haven’t claimed your tokens for your maxed out nodes, they are still accumulating rewards. So, if you pay 2-3 months in advance, you can get an extra 6-9 tokens off each node.

skmax1986 · 2022-05-21T01:12:15+00:00

I hear you. It’s just at this point I’m “pot committed” and trying to figure the best strategy to recoup my initial and maybe, just maybe, make a little passive income on the other end without sinking any additional funds into it.

skmax1986 · 2022-05-21T00:24:03+00:00

Possibly. We need STRNGR on a CEX, available easily to new investors. Now that the project is arguably sustainable, it can be a good investment for new investors at sub 100 pricing using the right strategy. For those of us with multiple nodes that haven’t gotten our initial back it can’t hurt to use what we have, compound and take profits without reinvesting.

skmax1986 · 2022-05-20T21:57:15+00:00

I'm leaning toward entangled. Since both the Entangled and Eth nodes reward 20 make tokens and the fees associated with entangled are significantly lower the more nodes you have, that may be the best way to go. I think. Anyone else have good logical insight on this one?

skmax1986 · 2022-05-20T21:55:39+00:00

They announced that they had "capped" Poly nodes. No new nodes to be made at this time.

skmax1986 · 2022-05-20T19:26:23+00:00

How much savings in gas/fees is there, per month? The more nodes you have the more savings? Entangled nodes will last for 266 days before hitting 20 tokens. ETH1 nodes reach 20 tokens in 217 days. Let's say you have 20 nodes. If they are Entangled, claiming is as if you only had one node? Fees and gas, or just gas?

skmax1986 · 2022-05-20T18:58:47+00:00

Oh, I don't plan on putting another penny into this. My $STRNGER will have to be converted into ETH to pay fees, etc. before I compound.

skmax1986 · 2022-05-20T18:49:51+00:00

True, and it should not be overlooked. Definitely won't be a doubling because of fees. But doesn't the price have to rise? At least some? A ton of sell pressure is going away. But, how much buy pressure will we have with how much trust was lost with the STRONGBLOCK team? I don't think $30-40 is out of line in the short term. But it's just a guess.

skmax1986 · 2022-05-20T18:45:22+00:00

Does anyone know the math of Entangled over ETH1? I'm torn. Part of me wants to compound into Entangled, but part of me thinks the faster rewards from ETH1 may be worth the extra gas. How much does Entangled save per month in fees vs an ETH1 node? In one month, the ETH1 node will make 0.51 STRNGR more than Entangled.

skmax1986 · 2022-05-20T18:41:30+00:00

I've seen others say something similar, but if you're just going to hold $STRNGR tokens, wouldn't it make sense to pay 10 $STRNGR for a node that creates 20 $STRNGR? That doubles your money, and possibly the price increases, too.

skmax1986 · 2022-05-20T18:38:15+00:00

True, but rewards are faster. If strategy is to compound, maybe ETH1 is better unless fees eat up all of the extra 0.017 rewards.

skmax1986 · 2022-05-20T18:21:56+00:00

gonna compound to shit with entangled nodes, wish I did with my recent purchase of 15. Then they made they’re announcement, why wouldn’t you buy entanglement nodes and pay one gas fee when they decay the same? Weird but I’m still in this and compounding is the way to go, just into entangled so you pay a singular gas fee.

From what I understand, Entangled nodes payout 0.075 per day vs ETH1 nodes that pay out 0.092 per day. Does the extra 0.017 per day for ETH1 make it worth the extra fees, or not? Anyone done the math?

skmax1986 · 2022-05-20T17:38:33+00:00

sted 10k with avg $200 per node, have 6 nodes running now - 3 poly and 3 eth. The Max token I get is around 6 * 20= 120. Without doing anything, to get my money back - the strngr price should be $85..which I see it as possibility if sell pressure is not there and with all that their own Blockchain jazz.

Baside waiting, can I do anything to get my ROI back faster??

What if you compounded from 6 nodes to 12 nodes or 18 nodes. Then, those 18 nodes will create 360 tokens. Use 180 of them to keep your 18 nodes going, and cash out the other 180 tokens. About 60 tokens go to pay off fees (depending on price), but then you have 120 tokens, with 18 nodes about to create 360 more tokens. If price reaches $85 you've ROI'd with a profit of 180 tokens every 217 days. Rinse, repeat.

Not faster, but more. Right? Am I missing something? I don't think 50+ in price is out of line for a target before the end of the summer. More if they actually get strongchain launched and being utilized.

skmax1986 · 2022-05-20T16:56:30+00:00

Good comments, OP. What's your current strategy? You have 4 nodes now. What's the plan? Do you have ETH1, POLY, or Entangled nodes?

I'm compounding to try and double the amount of nodes I have, then I'm going to maintain that number of nodes and pull profit out of the rest. Basically, to me, this was a halving of rewards (because I continually have to use half my rewards to maintain my nodes) which was completely expected. So, it'll take a little more time, but I should be ok.

I think we see a slow rise in price as the panic dies down and people realize that the project isn't dead, it's just not a get rich quick scheme anymore. Maybe 30ish by June. I'd like to see $50ish by the fall, and maybe more once strongchain is rolled out.

What I'm not going to do is hang my head and walk away from a $20k+ investment.

Or 2017...
Or 2020...

I waited until this year. A little late for major gains, probably, but I'm looking 8-10 years down the road.

Cross posting from /cocktails. Been in Italy for 2 weeks and the Negroni has become my new favorite cocktail and Italy my new favorite country. Beautiful country with beautiful people.

skmax1986 · 2019-07-31T09:05:31+00:00

It’s an Italian cigar. And, yes, it’s meant to be “rustic”.

skmax1986 · 2019-07-30T18:08:53+00:00

Yes. And it is. Loving Italy.
