How much is Flare going to be worth?

Coinbase just announced they will support it and give it to XRP holders there.

What if a lot of people buy this to stake?  You need a lot of a coin to stake.  I stake about 15 coins on four computers dedicated to that.  It's not very much money totally but it helps keep the house warmer and produces a little coin to trade for Bitcoin and stable alts.  I don't know what Flare is as far as a staking coin, what percentage of return.  A lot of staking coins have return rates of like 250% a year.

Im not sure about this but it seems like flare will not use a common staking mechanism that being used by the majority of POS platforms. Have you seen this?

You can see how spark token can be used to get FXRP. It was using the spark token as collateral. I don't even feel bad about this but i doubt this can attract a lot of people to buy spark token.

It might make people more money in a year by keeping it and earning FXRP.  FXRP after all has "XRP" in it which is promising. 

I wonder what the memory and CPU usage will be to have the Flare wallet running on one's computer.

Pennies for something that is this much distributed is not really that much of a bad thing. Think about it this way, if you bought XRP at 50 cents (and it was 25 cents just a month or so ago, so you could have gotten it a lot cheaper) you would have about 1000 xrp for just 500 dollars, and if it pays out just 2 cents per spark, that would mean you would have 10 dollar profit right there without doing anything. I would say that is a good deal.

If you bought at 25 cents however, which was possible for a very long time, and it gives you 5 cents, we are talking about making 20% of your return just from one fork of it. That is why there is a chance it could make people a ton of money, or may not make any money at all but people rather take that chance since its free.
