Stakes is just a measure to determine what share of the total you will earn and to divide participants into various groups depending on their abilities. Here's an example from our now closed FB campaign:
Number of FB friends:
- From 200 to 449 friends - 25 stakes
- From 450 to 999 friends - 60 stakes
- From 1000 to 9999 friends - 120 stakes
- 10 000 friends and more - 250 stakes
Let's say you have a 1000 friends, so you get 120 stakes each week if you complete all the tasks. Let's say, you ran bounty for 10 weeks and earned 10*1000=10,000 stakes total. But there were also other participants in the campaign that generated a total of 90,000 stakes between all of them. If a bounty prize is 60,000 MET shares, your reward will be determined as follows:
10,000/(90,000+10,000)=10%
10% * 60,000 MET = 6,000 MET
Does this makes sense?
Oh, that makes complete sense.
Thanks for taking your time explaining this to me.
