What's the time period for the investment returns? I'm guessing that's over the course of a year?

yes it is - not the best return over a year, but passive income is passive income! I'll be looking at some much higher potential ROI coins this week though.

Thank you @lukebrn for making a transfer to me for an upvote of 4.82% on this post! Half of your bid goes to @budgets which funds growth projects for Steem like our top 25 posts on Steem! The other half helps holders of Steem power earn about 60% APR on a delegation to me! For help, will you please visit https://jerrybanfield.com/contact/ because I check my discord server daily?

Amazing summary @lukebrn! Personally, I'm most interested in Qtum and your guide has helped a lot to understand the technology and company behind it better :) Appreciate your hardwork, bro!

Thanks @aaronmcheong, your invites and comments are always appreciated! Thanks, glad I can help :)

thanks for the info
Very informative

Hey @lukebrn! Interesting post / series. Thanks for putting this comparison together. I had a couple of thoughts while I was reading through this:

  1. The first section is supposed to say $200 - $1,000, right?
  2. Is this the potential revenue per year?
  3. I read in a different article that holding 1 NEO gets you a little bit less than 1 Gas per year. It would be awesome to know a bit more what factors/sources you used for the estimates
  4. In case you're fully renting out your space on Storj, does it really generate up to almost $500 with a $200 - $1,000 investment?

No problem!

  1. It was supposed to be a colon, not a -, I have that fixed thanks for showing me!

  2. Yes it is, but if the price of each coin inflates or deflates it will change!

  3. I used a Neo calculator and my own knowledge from staking - if you check my passive income series day 1 I have a link to the calculator I used there!

  4. Yes, but like I mentioned only if someone rents out the space you upload! I'm not sure what factors effect who's space gets chosen.

This week's post were relatively conservative except for Storj, in the week coming I'll be looking at more new coins/lower market cap, as well as some high market cap coins. Thanks for the comment and hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick response! Oh I get it now ... the budget is broken down and evenly split amongst the coins. Storj seems to have a pretty freaking lucrative ROI if someone could manage to run this at full capacity. Perhaps an assumed average capacity of 10-50% would bring this back to a more modest average ROI.

Now worries - yeah it really does! Just you wait, there are some crazy cryptos coming up in this area, check in throughout the week!

Thanks for the post @lukebrn.

This is a wonderful idea for those with fiat.

I wonder if it is possible to do a similar thing with projects where people can earn tokens simply in their utility such as STEEM. Personally, I know of 4 at the moment, I wonder how many more are on the market so far.

I guess SIA is in the same position as stordj....since they both do similar things? I mean in terms of nobody needing the storage.

Thanks! I'll be running it for one more week, then I'll be doing another series. I'll definitely do that as a series if you'd be interested in it, I know a few too, Will count them all up and might message you On Steemit Chat again if that's okay!

Yes it seems to be. I think that Filecoin will be the industry leader in that area!
