Assuming Nu recovers the USD peg, trying to figure out which would be more wise to do - parking NBT's or running a Dash masternode.
Seems from below that a Dash MN would bring twice as much, or more, but am I overlooking something?

Dash masternode at current numbers:

Dash MN bond costs ~8k USD
Gets about 10 dash / month
Current rate is about 8 USD / dash
I have to run it on a vps, which costs i think about 150 / year.

So, Dash MN would bring about:
(10*8*12)-150 = ~800 USD / year

Nu parking numbers:

Say the parking amount would be 8k USD, just as for Dash MN
I'm not sure how to estimate how much the parking APR would be after the current crisis, but say 4%

So, NBT parking would bring:
8000*.04 = 320 USD / year

Parking at the rate I parked a week ago and current 3-months - ~30% - of course changes to:
8000*.3 = 600 USD, 8000*.3 / 4 = 600 USDbut that will only be for first 3 months
So, after that, say 600 + (320*2/3) = also ~800 USD
600 + (320*3/4) = ~840 USD
Seems like NBT is higher risk for about the same reward, but less work than running an MN, but not sure.

What do y'all think?

To help with your decision-making, i post this for you with regards to Dash Masternode annual revenue :

https://dash-news.de/dashtv/#value=1000
note : by changing the 1000 to for example 2000 you can calculate the annual revenue of two masternodes



You will still have server renting costs per month, which will be some $5 per month per masternode and you are required
to update the server whenever Dash updates its client version.

Also be informed that the masternode payments / miner payments will get lower over time (Dash has a scheduled yearly 7% cut in blockrewards
which will make the payments / rewards for both miners and masternodes lower over time)

Last but not least, with Dash you will keep full control over your funds which can be safely stored away on cold wallets. Unfortunetely i dont know
anything about NBT to give you a sound advice between these two .. 

Learn from the past, set detailed and vivid goals for the future and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control : now

Thanks! That seems to validate my MN calculation - about 10% APR or less.

I just thought of something:
If I buy more NBT now, for 1/3 the peg target, IF Nu regains the peg, I would actually 3x my money, and get 10% APR or so.
So, that would be 330%?  Undecided

So, actually for 8k USD now, I could park 24k NBT.
At peg, IF it returns:

24k * .3 / 4= 1800
24k * .04 * 3/4 = 720
24000 + 1800 + 720 = ~26500

26500 / 8000 = 330 % right? Highest possible risk though, compared to Dash.
