Hi @master_key there’s something have been bothering me since the announcement of removing the leaderboard bonus and the introduction of the MMC payout. First of all, I understand the decision but I don’t think it will benefit the TOP N as it’s supposed. I have been making some calculation taking as an example niam model (sorry @mdo) since it’s usually on top 100 and has a huge stake and have been taking profit of the leaderboard bonus for a while.
I computed the return of this model with and without bonus and the difference is obviously huge (+256% vs +67%)
Since seems that MMC is coming to compensate removing the bonus, let’s see how it looks the payout comparison
If we take already resolved rounds niam can benefit from jumping to MMC leaderboard (only a 6% increase) but taking into account th,e upcoming rounds it doesn’t… (I know there aren’t resolved yet and the situation can change a lot but still…)
So, a model making huge profits (without exploiting anything) will experience a big cut on his profits once the bonus it’s removed. I’ve been wondering if the time spent on improving my models is going to be worthy.
Do you have any plan to compensate this situation? Or we just should expect a cut in our payouts?
