Mega Earner Tokens - EDS miners

Hello everyone, this week are looking into a "Mega Earner" token. I have always liked the idea of creating a mining token but never pulled the trigger because the tokenomics of mining tokens mixed with a backed asset token do not go hand in hand. This is why we dont have gold mining tokens in crypto, where would the gold come from to back the mined gold tokens?

With that said, it can be done and build to be self-sustaining if investors are happy to take a smaller ROI of say 15% per year when compared to other mining tokens that payout 20%+. In return for the smaller ROI, mined tokens will have a stable value of 1 HIVE and would earn 10% per year in HIVE dividends, liquidity would be offered to those looking to sell back for HIVEp. Earning 20% is no good when you cant sell your tokens for HIVEp, you end up HODLing and then the price tanks, that does not happen with EDS tokens. Let's look into Mega Earners.

First off, they would not be called miners because they would not run from the hive-engine staking option meaning not staking required same as EDS tokens but they would be mining tokens no question. The would-be EDS mining tokens.

Why mine EDS tokens?
Why not? There are plenty in the mint waiting to be released. We can sorta peg EDS tokens to 1 HIVE by providing liquidity on the exchange and finally, EDS tokens are already set up to distribute weekly HIVE dividends. The percentage would change from its current rate to a flat 10%. This would mean a Mega Earner token holder would earn 15% per year rewards of EDS tokens and the EDS token would earn 10% per year. 2 layers, miners reward EDS and EDS rewards HIVE. Could these be a farming token maybe? I dont know, its all the same to me to be honest, staking, mining, farming, all the same thing fundamentally in my head within HIVE. Mega Earners would be mining token cause I say so

Numbers... lets look into some numbers. Im winging it here so let's get some numbers to look at and then talk about.

You can see the 2 lay rewards. The ROI is nothing to call home about but EDS tokens are sorta backed by 1 HIVE and we cant simply turn on the printers like any other mining project. The rewards are consistent and you know that your rewarded token can be cashed for 1 HIVEp on the exchange are you can HODL them and earn 10% with no fear of its value dropping.

50 HIVE might seem expensive, that just the price that came into my head. Mega Earners could be priced at 0.50 HIVE each with a mintage of 100,000, the payout would be the same for the amount of HIVE invested. There is no real call for a hard cap at all really as there are tons of EDS tokens, enough for years and years.

Anyways, next, we look at one of the outcomes of HODLing these. There are 2 things people can do with EDS tokens earned from Mega Earner tokens. They can sell them for 1 HIVEp each are let them pile up and earn you some HIVE. If you decide to hold your EDS tokens, you have 2 options what to do with your HIVE paid from EDS tokens. You can either reinvest into more EDS are dont reinvest.

With the outcome table below, i show the outcome of holding the EDS tokens earned from Mega Earners while not reinvesting HIVE earned from EDS. I have gone with someone buying 10 Mega Earners for 500 HIVE.

It is no getting rich quick scam but it's sustainable for the long term. It's nice earning 25-40% from a miner per year but if the price of the token your mining drops 90% because it's connected to a useless tribe, what have you gained and how much time will you have wasted?

In the example above from a 500 HIVE invest, you would receive 75 EDS token per year and your HIVE payouts from those EDS tokens would increase by 7.50 HIVE per year. These numbers do not factor in weekly compounding are reinvesting earned HIVE back into Mega Miners are EDS tokens. If you were to sell your earned EDS tokens when you received them, you would earn 15% per year.

What do you think?

This idea of Mega Earners is a thought exercise to engage with the HIVE community and collect feedback. I like the idea but it would need to sell a ton for it to be worth the time. If you were to create a miner token, how would you build it? Let me know in the comments below.

That would be an interesting thing to have. I don't balk at the price of 50 hive, particularly because these things are meant to be just passive income and the EDS token and project are good for keeping things stable and returning.

If you do end up producing one, I will definitely buy at least 1!

Nah, just a thought exercise. I like throwing ideas out there to gather feedback. Most people only seem to care about the token price and leave feedback on that.

Thanks for checking out the post my friend

The thought experiments are fun at least! It's always good to try and come up with different ideas and see what feedback you get.

If you would throw it out now ... I would buy 1 mega miner ... not because I don't want to buy more, but because I only hive enough hive liquid for 1. Usually your plans work out very well. I missed out on the EDS, but this time I would make sure to be in

At the price of 50 hive, it may be difficult to sell many of these tokens ... On the other hand, always ready for passive income ... 😎

I dont understand why people like cheap tokens? The ROI is the same on HIVE invested. I guess thats just the way are tuned.

Thanks for checking out the post and leaving some feedback

True, maybe the feeling of having more ... People prefer 5 bills of 20 rather than 1 bill of 100 ...

I like the idea. What you are looking for is 50K Hive wither it comes from 1000 miners @50 hive or 5000 @10 hive. I would definitely buy a bunch and go compounding.
I got a question, how would you maintain EDS peg at 1 hive? Also where does those EDS go which are bought to maintain peg?

So each EDS token released has 1 hive power in the @eddie-earner balance. This sort of pegs it to 1 HIVE and with a small buyback wall placed on hive-engine to help keep the exchange price stable.

The bought back tokens would simply be reissued to Mega Earner token holders. They would basically end up back in circulation. I can earn more than 15% with the 50k HIVE, this ensures i can issue 15% rewards to Meag Earner token holders.

Boring, I know, but I would prefer to see EDS remain at the ROI it is and a second issue of, say, 20,000 released in due course, whether that's now or in six months time. There needs to continue to be an entry point savings and earnings token.
