Why You Should be A Validator on Polkadot and Kusama with Bill Laboon

[@journeytothevoid2899]

I need some stats about the Polkadot Blockchain and how you find it. 1. Transactions/Second 2. Users on the Network 3. Wallets holding the Token 4. Data Used Per Year (In Bytes) 5. Blockchain/Network Size

Highly appreciate this video…I really learned a lot in the very easy to understand breakdown. Thank you!

[@MattLong6]

I love Settlers of Catan! Nice board game in the background!

[@patrickchen623]

thank you for doing this video and being so personal and original with us.

[@bullsandersandercrypto782]

Thank you Bill. I really like your informative video's. You do a great job in explaining it in a none technical way so everyone understands.

[@Jose-ij9hi]

Very good content. Thank you

The problem i see with this; validators who can place 1000 DOT of their own, most likely purchased DOT at $5. How can one compete with 10 to be elected. And, if a validator is attacked, are THEY the validator responsible and subject to slashing?

[@DiegoCortesING]

Is there any tutorial to configure a KSM validator ?

How do I change validators I’m in chill mode for some reason

[@gregturner9482]

What is the minimum stake required for your Polkadot validator to be selected as? Thanks

[@MatthewMarcus]

More than the current smallest validator, which at this time is over 2.2 million DOT. polkadot.polkastats.io/validators/

[@journeytothevoid2899]

Seems like you have to be in the top 180 to be have a worth while investment

[@atlantis7896]

how many coins do u need to be a validator

[@schilll]

350 according to stakingrewards.com, not sure if its accurate

[@MatthewMarcus]

@@schilll Technically speaking, that may be true, but the smallest current DOT validator is staking just over 2.2 million DOT. So unless you can top that personally or with nominators, you ain't gonna be selected. polkadot.polkastats.io/validators/

This guy has definitely never worked in construction

[@kingslayer6784]

So true 🤣

[@harisbbbbaaa]

Um, so what?

[@chrstiaan722]

So basically what you are saying is that we shouldn't become a validator because its impossibly expensive and unnecessarily risky. gotcha

[@JunkBondTrader]

No that's a bad summary of this video.

[@jozefgajdos717]

The guy obviously never tried to contract someone to build/fix his kitchen.

[@muhammedrashid1244]

So when I am stopping this, can I get the deposit back?

[@javierortizmir7873]

how much can I earn by running a node with 400 DOT staked?? Ia there any way to estimate this?

[@StaglyMusic]

no - because there is so much factors in this

[@constas559]

Did you just spread Switzerland energy FUD? How low of you

[@Starfox-zg4tk]

Can I be a validation?

[@adamsteeber]

Only if you can set a node up. Gotta do it yourself.

POS is great for exchanges and wallet companies. They will dominate all networks.

I think $KSM is almost done for it's correction I can see that around $38 based on 4 hour chart on #MXC_Exchange. Time to accumulate, let's fill our bags guys!

[@basseairdrop9720]

Hello..guys accumulated $DOT below $200? I have accumulated mine I think $DOT (IOU) might hit $400 any time soon it's currently listed on #MXC_Exchange!!

[@douglasclarke4860]

understand? what a confusing bunch of words and illustrations a builder leaves a 1000 dollar deposit to do a kitchen addition? to make 200? in what universe is this a reality? you may know your geekdom, yet for sure you have never built anything as a contractor. hahaha! couldn't listen to the rest, you had me disinterested from the beginning of your analogy!! hahaha, have a good confused day!

[@poiint7798]

You leave 1000 dollars as an insurance to earn 200, that's right. But after the work, you get back yours 1000 dollars if you did your work properly, having in total 1200 dollars and not 200. Maybe the one confused is you, because in a lot of real life scenarios this happen.

[@JJJ_JJ1]

Douglas, your arrogance/ignorance is hilarious. Thanks for leaving DOT & KSM on the table for the rest of us.

@@poiint7798 no it doesn't! maybe in your decentraland, but not in the real world, which by your reply, you don't live in!!!
