What are stakes?

[Naughty Princess]

Stakes are the rewards you are given for participating in a bounty programme. it is actually money set apart for campaign fairly shared among participants who have laboured to promote new projects.

Stakes is used to determine how much token you are going to receive after the end of the bounty campaign which depends on the rank you have. Instead of giving the tokens during the ICO, the project team used stakes for easy calculation of how much token the participant have to receive for their effort to promote the project and how long that the participant stays on it.

This is based on the number of each person's share. You have to do a job and give you a certain number of shares. Finally, the total number is counted and averaged again. Then the number of tokens each person deserves is calculated. This is fairly fair.

Hello all,
I have a quite stupid question...
People always say XXX stakes to reward in their bounty program. So what's a stake? My understanding is that is this the project token? So we just avoid saying the names of different tokens by saying just STAKE for them all?

For example, if I get 1 stake for QASH, means that I get 1 QASH; if I get 1 stake for Tezos meaning I get 1 XTZ?

Thanks guys!!

For example, there are 100 tokens. The campaign involves 17 people who make retweets and get 2 bets per week. To calculate the number of tokens these people will receive. Believe - 100/(17*2)= 2,94. So many tokens will be given to each participant.

Actually stakes represent a percentage of you inside the campaign let us assume that 20% of Bounty goes to Article, than people that are included in that campaign with get the percentage(sakaes) from overall of 20%

Hello,

Let me explain stakes in simple words.

Suppose you participate in bounty campaign of ABC coin and you get total of 5 stakes.

let us assume bounty budget is 100 coins and 100 people participate in it and total number of stakes for all participants are 1000.

1 stake = Total bounty coins (100 Coins) / Total stakes of all particpants (1000)

As you have 5 stakes then you will get = 5*100/1000

the calculations are systematically indeed like this and this is correct. with this, you can probably estimate how tokens are you going to get in the bounty. but now sometimes also new systems have a bounty with a direct payment of some token in a few weeks and sometimes there is also 1 stakes are 1 token that will be paid.

The total stakes you earned divided by the total number of stakes multiplied by the number of token alloted on the campaign you had joined like for facebook , twitter or signiture. Lets say there were total of 100 stakes on the signiture campaign and you just earned 10 stakes and there were 1000 token for the signiture campaign.(10/100) is 0.1 x 1000 =  100. It means that you will have 100 token.

Stakes for me are just a kind of mathematical representation of how much reward in tokens are gonna go to every participants according to how much they are able to gather each during the stipulated period allocated for any project's bounty.

Consequently, it makes calculations easier for the bounty manager/team when the campaign eventually comes to an end. Also, it makes it easier and faster for bounty participants to get their rewards.

Stakes are known as Stocks or Share which is a portion of ownership in a certain company. The ownership you have gives you a securities and income that you can be used in future or any moment.

Based on what i’ve learn, stakes are known as a stocks or shares of the owners in a project. It is also the representation of how much reward token are gonna give to every participants.

No, you all misunderstood. In most bonus programs, STAKES means the amount of points you received. At the end of the ICO, all points are added up and the reward is divided proportionally to the number of your points.

Every project has it own way of staking. Some projects' stakes=tokens and other is mere numbers. For stakes most of them is earned and its divided by the total tokens multiplied by the tokens.

Stakes are earned when participates in bounties. Others does it in a form of the tokens but others does it in a stakes form which will be divided and shared among participants with the total pool.

[Renu kapoor]

Stakes is the reward given by the company for whom you work and they pay you tokens for your work, these are stakes, further these stakes converted in coins of the company.

[Pecintabakso]

stake is a bet used in bounty campaign programs. you must follow the rules of the bounty campaign after that will get the stake. the stake is divided by account rank, the higher the rank then the more earned stake.

[ichanjay]

Stakes just represents the percent that you can have with the total allocated coins that every bounty participants will share on. It doesn't mean the actual coins that you will get.

[chankyleer]

Stakes are like matrix points in a matrix system. It is not the actual token that you will recieve. If you do your part in the campaign, you will be given points for your contribution. Points will varru depending in the rules in the campaign. This will dictate how many tokens will be given to you as your share in the token allocation.

[KobbyC]

Stakes are given so that tokens which will be shared will be distributed relatively. An example will help explain this. For example: assuming bounty hunters in a signature campaign are 3 and tokens to be shared is 100. person A get 5 stakes, person B gets 3 stakes and person C gets 2 stakes. This means that A will get 50 tokens, B will get 30 tokens and C will get 20 tokens during distribution.

[alexzorgo]

Stakes are a relative unit of reward for the work done in the bounty campaign.
This unit is intermediate in the calculation of awards to performers.
At the end of the bounty campaign with stakes first get the total amount of work done in intermediate units.
After that, the available total pool in tokens is divided by the number of stakes.
In this way, the ratio of stakes to one token is calculated.
And after these calculations, you can distribute the tokens in accordance with the resulting stakes-token ratio.

In my knowledge, When you do bounty campaign, you will receive stakes corresponding with token.
They will receive token through number of stakes:
Token = total token at that campaign / total stakes that they received.

[Suprittandon]

well in my knowledge, when we join some bounty compaign, we get stakes for the work we done. Stakes are the percentage of tokens that you can get within the token allocation for the bounty after the ICO. but every bounties has different calculations .
