    Compared to ZIL and ADA this process is so complicated...I'm okay to say that this is probably meant for people with a better understanding of what they're doing, but still.

  • @B04RDER
    @B04RDER Рік тому +1

    Ledger Live let's us choose up to 16 validators, is it advantageous to select all 16? Does it automatically divide my bonded DOT between all 16 or does it use all my DOT on one validator when it's finally chosen to validate?

    • @B04RDER
      @B04RDER Рік тому

      If at least one of the validators you nominate is elected by the election algorithm to be in the active set, you will nominate them with your entire stake. However, there is a risk of getting no rewards if you nominate very few validator candidates and none of them are chosen. Therefore, it is safer to choose as many trustworthy validators as possible (up to 16 on Polkadot and up to 24 on Kusama).

  • @z-magnificent
    @z-magnificent 3 роки тому +5

    When you say "risk", is there a risk of losing your staked DOT because of the validators actions? Also, how many validators do you recommend nominating?

    Hi Bill, thanks for the excellent video. Can you please let me know if I can CHANGE VALIDATORS after I have nominated a set of validators and if YES, how do I do that, please.
    I was only able to see that I can CLEAR NOMINATIONS and the stake remains bonded. Can I start the Nomination process again?
    I am staking using Ledger Live & Nano X. Thank you for your anticipated clarification.

  • @Namoweaver

    The staking for dot seems unnecessarily complicated and then your risk of loosing your investment by picking a validator that goes off line to much or some other "bad behavior" makes Dot lower on my list for sure

    • @jer3504
      @jer3504 Рік тому

      If you stake a low amount (most of us do) there will only be 1 active out of your list. I think you gotta stake tens of thousands of $$ before you get more than 1 active.

    I don't like the fact that Zug has so many validator nodes and that there are so few to begin with. I wanted to move all my eth to dot because I thought this was the coin of the future until I realized that this point of centralization is such a weakness. It really has made me rethink whether I want to keep investing in dot.

    is the amount you bond, the amount that you stake and thus, the amount you will receive in rewards in connection to that? So if I bond 200 dot, I will be rewarded for that 200 dot? Or is it the case that if I bond 1 dot but have 200 dot in my stash account I will be rewarded for what is in my stash account?

    "The bonded amount is less than the minimum threshold of 120.0000 DOT for nominators" Guess i won't be staking any time soon. I don't have $5000 to throw at DOT. There must be a way to make staking harder for DOT?????
