This week's distributed profits are 0.370%, equivalent to an APR of 19.3%.
Compare this with the bidbots listed on iSteemd and you will see that MAP Rewarder pays out more than all of them.
The values below that relate to the Steem blockchain remain volatile, yet are still a useful snapshot to gauge the MAPR returns.
Let's lay out the different percentages to make them clearer. These are all calculated in terms of STEEM per SP.
Gross turnover inc. payouts = 0.493% [1]
Gross income ex-payouts = 0.462% [2]
Value of Steemit upvotes = 0.421% [3]
Adjusted value of Steemit upvotes = 0.351% (APR 18.3%) [4]
Distributed MAPR payouts = 0.370% (APR 19.3%) [5]
Total MAPR payouts = 0.401% (APR 20.9%) [6]
[1] Gross turnover generated for the week.
[2] Gross income minus the random free upvotes, SBI shares given to delegators and MAP upvotes.
[3] Theoretical maximum value of Steemit upvotes, assuming 10 full upvotes at 100% power for 7 days.
[4] Theoretical value of Steemit upvote rewards, assuming 25% curation rewards, 50-50 split of post payouts and SBD print rate.
[5] MAP Rewarder distributed payout sent to delegators this week; this is 80% of [2].
[6] Total payouts for the week, equal to {[5] + [1] - [2]}.
Note that MAP Rewarder is able to generate income higher than the theoretical maximum for pure upvotes - that is, [1] is greater than [3]. This includes upvotes to quality content curators and MAP Rewarder delegators.
Note that this week our total value of payouts and upvotes is slightly lower than the theoretical maximum for pure upvotes - that is, [6] is slightly higher than [3]. This is due mainly to the transition to supporting curators. From this week onwards, the values of [3] and [4], which come from the blockchain, shall be 7-day averages to give a better representation of the whole week's earnings.
Finally, our weekly distributed profits to delegators is higher than post rewards payouts - that is, [5] is higher than [4].
Profits will be paid today to SP delegators in STEEM.
Benefits of Delegating to MAP Rewarder
= a high weekly payout in STEEM. Our returns are higher than many other income sources on Steemit - just compare our returns with various bidbots. On top of this weekly payout, we have:
= free upvotes to delegators. These are currently set at 3% and come from my @rycharde account. These add a significant return, especially for smaller SP delegations.
= random free full upvote and free SBI share once per week. See our recent Free Vote Friday and Free SBI Saturday.
So, three different sources of rewards plus a high weekly payout!
I hope this will stimulate some further delegations and will help some users make a significant return on their SP. But please remember that the first distributed profits will be received on the first Sunday after 7 day from the time of delegation - the cut-off is midday GMT on Sundays.
How to Delegate to MAP Rewarder
To delegate SP to MAP Rewarder, please read our Introduction document.
You can also delegate using these links:
10 SP, 20 SP, 50 SP, 100 SP, 500 SP, 1000 SP, Other.
If you do not have spare SP to delegate, then you can still follow our Curation Trail or Fanbase on SteemAuto (or follow us on Steem Voter), and gain some higher-than-average curation rewards.
News
I have changed the layout of our numerical data; I hope the different numbers are slightly clearer!
Much of what I used to write here in the News section can now be read at the top of the article as addenda to the table.
All our percentages are calculated like-for-like based on STEEM so that these are real returns in STEEM per delegated SP (which is also priced in STEEM).
A reminder that we have two missions: to be profitable to delegators and to support our MAP Curator Trail and thereby improve the quality of posts on Steemit. The @accelerator account, ignoring the delegated SP, is growing slowly but steadily and forms the basis of our upvotes to curators who are in the MAP Trail.
Important News
We are in the middle of very turbulent conditions. We are bouncing around a support level; any break downwards from here could easily see cryptos halve in value. This is a consequence of the whole crypto market and not isolated to STEEM and SBD. However, there are also features of the Steem blockchain that users need to be aware of.
The prices of STEEM and SBD are so close to US$1 that just one or two cent swings become magnified by the formula used to calculate rewards. Add to this the changes to the SBD print rate (currently 41%), and we have a situation where the APR can easily swing 2% in under a day.
Next rewards distribution will be on Sunday 29 July.
