Proof-of-Stake systems allow network participants to stake their coins and earn passive income. Are you staking?

Staking is emerging as an essential part of the modern cryptotechnology landscape. It is a great opportunity for anyone both to support consensus infrastructure, as well as to be rewarded for doing so.

Have you heard of Tezos' novel LPoS (Liquid Proof of Stake) system, for instance, in which you can either bake or delegate your XTZ to earn an income?

Not staking any coins, for me investing in masternode coins are really not worth it so I do not bother with them, I do think that there are a lot of people that are staking their coins since the masternode coins seems to be doing very well. I do not have any staking coins, but if I did i would be staking the coins for a chance to get more coins

I'm not staking my coin but just try to earn through the dividend system. Staking is a good thing but that based on how much your shares. I never heard about that before but it looks like it's not even yet released by the tezos team.
if that needs a small amount to a stake in the network and it will become a good idea.

Not all coins has PoS system but i would hold some if i know which coins that has passive income like that.
I know the coins named ambit (AMBT) that has passive income when staking

POS tokens will ask minimum quantity of tokens before you can stake which the money you have to invest is going to be huge.

I'm more of investing to a project that shares profit to its token holder. There are serious projects which I look forward to but would have to see whether its users are making money. There are several exchange projects today that offers this so I may sound like promoting them because yes I have invested some of my EOS to them. The project is EOSEX.com

i am staking 2 coins brought them when price was low getting good stake rewards good passive income for my investment

ofcourse i am staking my POS coins , some wallets are online forever and some of them i will put online when it is time to stake again , he , it is free money

Similar to staking, you can also earn by running a node. With Horizen you just need 42 Zen in your wallet, it has a 10% block reward. The profits would be better for the same risk level (just the market price)

Of course, with POS coins, the stake feature is very appealing. I myself use this option and I must say that I am very satisfied.
With POS projects, it's the only way to get coins for free, of course, if you do not buy in pre-sale.

Most of my POS tokens that I had lost almost all of it's value in this bear market. That is why I sold them all before I lose more money. POS tokens are really good for passive income, but it is not profitable in the long-run. Some of them just gain small span of attention once it gets released, but die soon once most holders get their money back from staking.

Now market is very down thats why i did stake some famous coin for long term.Specially, i stake for much profit when market would be recover. That's why traders staking more coins for more profit. Now time to buy more coins and hold for more profit.  

I am not staking my coins because i think it is not worth that.  You know staking rewards are not too much.  But i am holding some future staking and masternode coins. These projects didint announce their staking  or masternode amounts. I think these type of coins will be valuable in the future because too many people lock their tokens for staking and masternode and because of that circ suppy will decrease and it can cause very good price pump.

Personally, I would like to do POS mining, but I think it is not profitable, especially now.

It's not a long time if someone will risk their coins for a purpose, namely profit. When the market is currently weakening or better known as a declining condition. It would be appropriate to spend some of the money aside to buy, and wait for the market to rise again. Why not?  8)

Liquid PoS of Tezos is something new for me. But I love coins that provides common PoS, it is good decision by developers - users can stake more coins for longer periods to receive higher rewards. This has a positive effect on the project

Already have bad experience with POS coins, so i wouldn't ever stake my coins or buy and hold POS coin anymore. In past there are some coins that have bad end when it get staked and don't have price in market.

Yes, this is pretty good opportunity to earn tokens, BUT you have to choose very carefully projects, this is very important. Personally I following Vite now, will see what they can suggest.

Yes, of course, I staking my coins. As you rightly noticed, this is a new trend. I think this is what will replace the mining at the next stage of evolution of cryptocurrency. And then ... and then we will see what happens after staking  ;)

I did POW mining before, but now I'm looking at POS, it looks attractive for me. Now I studing Vite, they will start nodes soon.

yes, i'm staking my coin,, but not XTZ
staking is one from many way to earn money in cryptocurrencies,,
as you stake a good and solid coins, when the price going up,, you will get more money
for example PIVX or Helium

it is certain, everything in crypto must be lurking on its own coins. moreover coins already in the market, surely every day he will see.

if you think how good it is, I look at it or not, because now there are many coins that end up being spam or swap.

Yes, I can't hold it anymore, I will hold the coins that I have until the coins go up, but what is the power of some coins that I have is very insecure because I need money, and what else can I or not with prices drop like this I have to sell it, hopefully the other altcoin will quickly rise again.

in my opinion staking coins that are reasonable, especially those from the smart contract, will certainly be continuously monitored for its development

yes,, you are right,, about a lot of staking coins become dead
thats why we should choose the best staking coins in the market,, or run a masternode from a solid maternode cryptocurrencies
because staking and run a masternode is the real passive income in crypto industry

Staking coins requires a lot of coins to hold and after knowing that I can passively earn with that.

I calculated and I summarized that I can't put my money on staking coins. Though its profitable if you already bought that coin earlier during their discounted prices. I have heard about that with tezos but I'm not interested to it. I'm aiming for ETH's change to PoS but I think I'll never reach 1,000 ETH.

No I'm not, basically I trade coins based on their charts and don't want to make extra rules to keep them around just for staking

Coin that are possible for staking should be staked!  Ethereum was planning to move to proof of stake earlier on this year.  I believe the moment ethereum successfully move to proof of stake,  the value of ether will soar like never before!

Anyone can show me how to stake any coin? Seem like this is a little bit new to me. LOL. Beside how to know which coin can be staked to get passive income like that? We need to find them out or just need to read information about them? I think it's also really difficult to find out cryptocurrency which can be staked out of thousands cryptocurrencies in this market.

I had some peepcoin in my portfolio and transferred it to the bluetrade exchange and I get stake every day. maybe a worthless coin but could work in the future

This is not new and I was a fan of POS before. Now they are highlighting really that DPOS should be the major mining methodology to use because of it's environment friendly approach. But it should not always be the case or agreed upon by many as richer becomes richer with this and can be prone to 51% monopoly.

no. i dont overloved bounties. i do hodl and sell in the perfect timing but i dont go to the point that i will part of the team and investing on the nodes. i just limit myself

I am staking 2 of my coins and getting passive reward for holding. The problem with staking on a bearish market is
that you cannot trade with them while staking and if the price drops, you can lose more than you get for staking.

Dude, find a decent job if you want to support yourself and don't just go and visit this forum if you just want some money. You can invest too if you have some funds left to you then hold it for a long term investment. Staking some of your altcoins doesn't give enough funds to support if you don't have any back up savings.

Are staking still popular nowadays? I can remember that there were many proof of stake AKA POS coins during last year and were very popular and grew a lot. They are similar to masternode too where you earn for holding some coins to keep the network stable.

Yes, I do. I am always stalking at my coins because as I see the prize increase, my hopes also grow. I am holding my coins patiently and I believe that things would get better though the market is currently down. I believe that the values of my holdings would soar high soon.

Yes, I am staking my coins to get more coins. So far the staking is running well and so the masternodes. But we must choose the best coins to staking to earn more profit compare the other coins. You have to do your own search for it in the web.

I am staking my coins too although I don't expect a big profit because staking a coin needs a long time and perhaps it needs more than a year. At least, I want to know how the process and so far, I think it gives a nice amount for me. I see that there are many coins that we can stake to earn more free coins during in the red market, but we need to choose the right coins so we can earn the profit. I think soon, staking coins will be popular since there are many coins list for the stake.

I risked a coin I have for a large quantity of investment. because I see the development of coins when investments when the market experienced many improvements able to generate more profits. so that made me more confident with coins. This is a betting in an erratic market.

Not necessarily. In Tezos you can actually delegate any amount of coins and participate in the staking process - simply by delegating your Tez to a baking service. Yes, in Bitcoin there's mining, in Tezos there's baking. It doesn't matter if you own 10, 100, 1000 or any other amount of tokens.

If you own a roll, which is 10k XTZ, you can bake on your own. This requires you to be online 24/7 on dedicated hardware. However, it does not require energy-intense mining rigs -- in fact all it takes is low-end hardware, even an older laptop is enough. This is enabled by an elegant system called Liquid Proof of Stake.

yes, i did last year ago.
Staking POS are good for people who don't have spesification computer for mining with POW. with staking POS people just need VPS or personaly computer are low spesification at 1 GB ram and not need Asic or GPU. Staking just need Internet and mature coin wallet inside

Staking is good it is another source of good passive income. But the assurance of getting the rewards takes more time, since the staking reward maturity depends on how much tokens you stake. It is best to stake more tokens to receive early tokens.

And when will growth begin?

I've never heard of this source. I am very interested I will try. And you drove it there. It's a secure platform. I will try to study then SPM and I will share experience.

If we are talking about betting, then I think that it would probably be best not to rush at all to put something. Now a very strange situation has developed with respect to what the market still wants today and how it will behave.

We need a new Ethereum

Guys, advise good ICO's, please

Staking has been in the system for quite some time now. Coins such as Wave, NEO and others have integrated staking on their platform for quite some time now and people are benefitting from it. There are also some new coins that have also introduced it and this tends to attract more investors. So, instead of tge usually mining that might might nit be cost effective for some people in some countries, staking is n a better option.

There are a lot of great opportunities to stake cryptoassets in 2019!

I think staking coins are heading to the same path as the POW coins too ,i haven't stake any but I heard its not worth the hassles even masternodes that I was still looking forward to setup but as a miner I will will choose prove of work over prove of stakes anyday

Yep, I am also staking Snode Coin and I see that this form is very convenient in the free time that I hold this coin and can bring a significant profit

Well i don't really run POS coins but more towards Masternode coins
I think basically it has the same architecture there just that one has requirement one has a higher requirement imo

Anyhow, Yea, you could "bake" tezos so i assume you just pass your voting rights to delegate and thats it, you don't need to run anything
Waves has this uses LPOS too

a while ago i did some calculations to determine whether it is more profitable to buy some stake coin and then stake it and earn profit or is it more profitable to trade that coin and be active with different coins at the same time. i also considered the risks of each approach.

my conclusion is that Staking a coin can be profitable, specially for some coins that are pumping in a prolonged time (not just a one day pump and dump) and also if they give a good reward. but the risks of it is pretty high since the coin can get dumped hard and fast and getting out of the setup is costly and the biggest problem is that you can't be that active compared to trading.
for example in trading if you see some shitcoin getting dumped you immediately sell and enter another shitcoin that is being pumped. the efficiency and the speed of this process is not even comparable to the slow speed of switching from a dumping POS coin to another one.

The reason why I like staking (POS) is because of less electricity function unlike Prove of work ones that you have to worry about profits and electricity burn ,I think staking is still cheaper than building mining rigs excluding running full masternodes  but its like pow coins have better chances than POs coins

I'm not in a hurry with rates and passive income. It is necessary that the market in this part settled. However, I agree that this is a fairly promising type of income. If he continues to work, then in the future I, of course, will use it. It’s just that the cryptocurrency market is developing so fast that we don’t have time to react correctly to changes in time.

Staking a coin can be profiting,i have a coin which am staking presently and it has been bringing in good returns in euro,am thinking of doing more.

Just don't forget risk behind it, more coins that get from stake, it means can make that coin price down and keep down. We must know when we need to out from that coin and change to stake another coin.

Yeah I did stake some of my coins for a couple of months and earned good numbers in return and would have continue staking but had some financial issues now since the cost of running those data is kinda expensive for me as compared to what I get back right now though but it was OK back then.

in the case of my coins not making a bet, because I only wait for the price at the right time and then make a sale in the market, because the price can change, so what is at stake.

For now many are waiting rather than having to bet on potential coins, but if the coin does not seem to be maintained it needs to be at stake even if it loses. We play to be wise with conditions that are weak and remain strong to endure and be patient.
