Dont worry Spikers. Any contribution is helping and earning you rewards.
To make things more transparent I put my excel sheet on google sheets. Anyone can see the math I'm using here.
Smurf did a good job explaining what I'm doing above. I am personally paying 0.07% per epoch (every 5 days) to get more people interested in this pool.
Once we have enough coins in the pool, the ADA network will start rewarding us with new shiny coins.
As of yet no new coins have been awarded because we are too small.
For you Spikers, just put in what you feel comfortable investing in crypto. Consider these rewards as a small bonus and let them grow.
If you want to pull out and sell let me know.
