Beyond has an official Cardano / ADA pool now!
POOL ID: YYC
Cardano / Ada is 3rd gen crypto currency which uses a "proof of stake" system for security instead of raw power, race to the bottom hashing.
Its more efficient and fair distribution of rewards should lead to a long and healthy crypto currency.
What that's means for the investors or "stakers", stakers will receive a proportional share of this pools rewards. The chances of mining a block in a given epoch (5 days) are pool stake over 1,000,000. So a healthy Pool of 1MIL will see 1 block per epoch and returns of 4.5%/yearly.
This pool is taking 340 ADA per block for operating costs. PLUS 1.5% for a Calgary based charity per epoch plus another 0.5% goes to Beyond.ca since I know none of you cheap bastards keep this place alive.
