What is Stakes?

[APICEMTECH]

As most of the members have already pointed out, stakes are used to award people who participate in campaigns and then further divided as per a formula that the campaign manager has predetermined to further awards tokens to participants.

[Mariya03]

I think Stakes are records of shares distributed to workers who participates the project. Others says that this is the percentage of the shares in the rewards of the campaign. It is solved based on the eqautions given by the ICO. Stakes are also the points given to you I guess. 

[Bybox]

Are you talking about bounties stakes or Proof of stake?

Stakes can also be topic of coins that are not mineable but if you keep those coins at your walltet, you get periodic rewards. But mainly, i see stakes term used actively in Bounty campaigns.

hi guys, Im just wondering what stakes means? i often saw it on some of the bounty here on forum like for example.
You will get 10 stake upon completion of the job. something like that.
how much is 10 stakes? and what its currency. thanks

stake is a quantity that help to distribution coin or token or btc after the end of the campaign,here my calculation

suppose one campaign give 50000 coin or token  to the bounty hunters after the campaign for signature .
payment structure :

legendary = 5 stake per wk
hero member = 4 stake per wk
sr member = 3 stake per wk
full member = 2 stake per wk
member = 1 stake per wk

if the campaign will run about 5 wk and participant are only 5 person  then participants will get 5x stake like below
 
legendary = 5*5=25 stake
hero member = 4*5=20 stake
sr member = 3*5=15 stake
full member = 2*5=10 stake
member = 1*5=5 stake

now calculate total stake for all member = 25+20+15+10+5=75 stake
now need to calculate 1 stake = how many coin?
so total coin divide total stake = 50000/75 = 666.66666666 coin per stake .

now all participants will get

legendary = 5*5=25*666.66 = 16666 coin
hero member = 4*5=20*666.66=13333 coin
sr member = 3*5=15*666.66= 9999.9 coin
full member = 2*5=10*666.66= 6666.6 coin
member = 1*5=5*666.66= 3333.33 coin


this is the calculation of stake

[FrayDigger]

Now many bounty programs offering stakes instead of BTC.They are distributing their coins like 1% or 2% to the bounties.
For example : Total alloted coins for the signature campaign be 1,000,000 coins. If you earn 1 stake per week in signature campaign.Total 10 stakes in 10 weeks, and Total stakes earned by all participants in signature campaign bounty program be 10000.
Then the no of coins you will get,
                                      
           Your total stakes
    ----------------------------------------*Total Coins alloted in sig campaign
    Total stakes earned by all

  In the above case it is,
                    10
                  -------- * 1,000,000 = 1000 coins.
                 10000
So you will get 1000 coins of that particular bounty program.Hope it's clear.

Thank you! That's what I wanted to find

What he really wanted to ask is that what is stakes and what does it do.

Well stakes are the number points you're earning every end of the week or at the end of the ICO itself. And that points are determined if you really have finished the necessary numbers of post that the ICO requested. And the number of stakes depends on what rank you currently have, the higher the rank the more stakes you'll earn.

And what stakes really do is that, it will be your ticket to what will be its value of tokens that you will be receiving after the ICO. So basically the manager of the campaign have the formula for it, the number of participants and your rank will affect the numbers of tokens you will be getting.

Stakes simply means the shares that you have in a campaign. Stakes are used to determine how much will you earn from a project. Stakes varies depending on the campaign and your forum rank. The one who manages stake distribution is the campaign manager, also the one who'll check if your posts are qualified and if you are eligible for the reward or stakes.

[RieL]

stakes are the count of your share for the campaign and also this is were you participate on the campaign and you will rewarded for it by the end of the campaign so you must follow the rules in order to get the reward. other campaign don't have stakes so you must read their campaign carefully to avoid problems

[Maveth13]

Stakes are used for bounty campaigns, it basically means shares. It will represent the percentage of the overall bounty or coins to be given away that you will receive. This method somehow makes bounty campaigns more profitable especially if there are only few participants then you can get huge percentage, given of course that the project is a success.

[jets567]

it's basically your share of in the total bounty of a certain campaign. If the bounty is said to be staking every week depending on the post requirements and the rank of the account you are using to join the bounty campaign. Add i respectively and the amount of the weekly stakes will be your total stakes for the entire bounty campaign. More stake = More Gain/Profit for the bounty hunter.

Stake means "POSITIONS", in the investor's term that means the amount of security either owned or owed by investor or the dealer. It is commonly used in Finance and stock market business as STAKE HOLDER'S (share holders).Yes you have guessed it right in there are some bounty program where you will get some amount of stake(positions) for completing the particular work on time in place of coins.

You can calculate 10 stakes by multiplying the value of one stake with 10. Suppose lets assume that the value of one stake is 0.02 BTC then your 10 stake value is 0.02*10 which is equal to 0.2.Even getting paid by Stake is also good as you owned them and holding them for few months can get you more price if their value goes up, similar to that of Altcoins and stocks.

Stakes is not a valuable thing like token/coin. It's like a point which use for doing easy sum. Which bounty campaign give there coin/token percentage basis those bounty give there participants stakes. It's easy to use right sum.

[FrayDigger]

What are they needed for?

[BTCSAMIUL]

Stakes is the percent of your share on the rewards by the campaign.Well stakes are the number points you're earning every end of the week or at the end of the ICO itself.nd the number of stakes depends on what rank you currently have

[DavidBrown]

In business, a stakeholder is usually an investor in your company whose actions determine the outcome of your business decisions. Stakeholders don't have to be equity shareholders. They can also be your employees, who have a stake in your company's success and incentive for your products to succeed. They can be business partners, who rely on your success to keep the supply chain going. Every business takes a different approach to stakeholders. The roles of stakeholders differ between businesses, dependent on the rules and responsibilities laid out at the founding of your company or as your business evolved over the years. The most common definition of a stakeholder, however, is a large investor that has the clout to hold a viable "stake" in your company.

[Marvell1]

Here is the simple analogy.
Let's suppose that bounty campaign budget is a cake.
1 stake is like a 1 piece of the cake. More participants - more pieces, but each piece is smaller.
For instance your reward is 5 stakes. This means you will get 5 pieces of the cake 

[Ambry]

good question , many campaign manege say per week stake that mean stake depend your forum rank and fb friends twitter follower .stake is a part of reward .and campaign ends before   your total stakes depends your rewards .

Stakes is something that the campaign used for computing the rewards we received from the campaign projects. So that we should know how much we can claimed from the campaign we joined.

[omonuyak]

Stakes are allotment of your entitlement after the bounty end. You are expected to participate in a campaign in other to get a stake of that campaign. The owners of the project will alloted to the campaign participants according to how much they performed during the campaign. It may be twitter campaign or signature campaign.
