Earn significant passive income with STEEM by investing in the MAPR program.
This week's distributed profits are 0.441%, equivalent to 23.0% APR and 25.7% APY.
A bit early this week, again, but incomes have been calculated for the usual full 7 days.
It is imperative that members read this recent announcement.
General Info
New rules and simple explanations can be found here. Please read it, and links within it, before asking the obvious.
Remember that MAPR has a unique distribution and pricing system. If you look at the MAPR tokens you, as delegator, have received today, multiply that number by the new official BUY Price and you get the real return per delegated SP.
The new rules started on Monday 28th June, 2021. They may change again in the future if the Steem economy warrants such a change.
Bonus Token Winners
As previously announced, we now have two weekly winners of a random draw of MAPR tokens.
@maxuve wins 1 MAPR token
and
@cliffagreen wins 1 MAPR token.
Winners MUST CLAIM their bonus token by leaving a comment to this post. Claims expire after 7 days and unclaimed tokens are put back into next week's general fund. Users who fail to claim their prize will also forfeit any further rewards until they leave a comment to verify they are still paying attention. They can then claim their bonus token and restart receiving rewards, but lost rewards will not be refunded.
Last week we had 0 MAPR token claimed.
I have now changed the probabilities, in light of (as suspected) very few claims; the first draw will include all those with at least 100 SP, the second draw will include every member. This makes the probabilities even better for those who are still paying attention.
A reminder that the bonus tokens are included in the gross distributed returns.
MAPR: The Numbers
All these numbers relate to a 7-day period (Monday to Sunday) and calculated in STEEM per SP.
Value of Steem upvotes = APR 19.0% [1a], 10.8% [1b], 10.4% [1c]
Value of Steem author rewards payouts = APR 100.0% (250%!!) [2a], 57.0% [2b], 55.0% [2c]
Distributed MAPR payouts = 0.441% (APR 23.0%) [3]
Projected Compounded APY 25.7% [4]
Average APR 18.8% (26-weeks)
MAPR BUY Price: 1.11 STEEM [5]
MAPR Price increase = +0.0% APR
MAPR SELL Price: 1.16 STEEM [6]
[1] Theoretical maximum value of Steem upvotes, assuming 10 full upvotes at 100% power for 7 days, averaged over 7 days and expressed as an APR. This calculation was performed for an SP of 1 million STEEM to be as close as possible to linearity. Your own upvote will be somewhere between 50-100% of this value.
The values are now calculated for three levels of voting power: 1 million SP (a); 10,000 SP (b); and 1,000 SP (c).
[2] Theoretical value of Steem upvote author rewards, assuming 50% curation rewards, 50-50 split of post payouts and SBD print rate, averaged over 7 days and expressed as an APR. Your own author rewards will be somewhere between 50-100% of this value.
[3] MAP Rewarder distributed payout sent to delegators this week as tokens, including bonus tokens, and the MAPR price adjusted to reflect this.
[4] Equivalent compounded yield as an APY for this week's distribution in [3]. We now have enough data to give a better historical picture of progress and have including a 26-week average to give a measure of medium-term returns.
[5, 6] Our BUY and SELL prices are currently fixed until further notice.
Our MAPR distribution [3] is much higher than the average blockchain curation rewards for most users, being half of the values [1a, 1b & 1c].
Profits will be paid today in the new MAPR tokens.
MAPR News
As explained in our recent announcement, MAPR will be winding down. We have so few delegators remaining that it just isn't worth keeping this going at this level.
Next week, Monday 28 March, will be the last reward distribution. Given that only a handful of accounts are paying attention, this will only really affect those few. Please feel free to undelegate. At that point, the buyback price will remain fixed at 1.1 STEEM for however long it may take to clear any open trades. After that, it will start to drift down again to 1.0 STEEM.
I shall keep the account going, so anybody who wishes to delegate at least 1000 SP can continue to profit, but I have set this high on purpose. The Steem economy remains uncertain, so I'm happy to carry on as a "private" program.
Indeed, the high yield this week is due entirely to the loss of one large delegator, so I wouldn't expect the same level next week. But good to go out with a splash!
Just to highlight this again, for any members who may wonder why they haven't been receiving weekly rewards:
MAPR is 4 years old now. To "celebrate" we're going to do some spring cleaning. We are going to stop sending rewards to any user that fails to claim one of the bonus prizes. If and when they leave a comment, they can claim their old prize and restart receiving weekly distributions. This means we will concentrate our earnings on those who are still alive and paying attention.
I don't wish to keep repeating things, but have no idea if anybody reads these posts. Anyway, one thing that delegators should be aware of is as the buyback price of MAPR tokens drifts downwards, so the number of tokens given in distributions rises. Thus, the real effect is not on the value of new income, but on the value of tokens being stubbornly held for no good reason. We shall halt this at 1.1 STEEM and see how the market and MAPR are behaving at that point.
Anybody who places their MAPR tokens for sale at the previous 1.21 HIVE price is obviously not paying attention and can remedy this issue by reading fully any recent post.
All members please see the previous news posts.
Minimum delegation amount is now 1000 SP.
Anybody below 100 SP will henceforth receive no token distributions, but they will be eligible for the random bonus token (see above). These bonuses may also be removed if there is just a handful of users left.
We have maintained a total income of around 17-19%, which remains good for a passive source. This is within a system that generates about 20% for a whale vote yield and about 11% APR for a minnow. The unadjusted vote yield continues to drift lower; in six months it has gone from about 27% to about 20% APR.
We shall continue to generate yields that are as high as we can given the economic model.
And finally, although our weekly returns are variable, here is a graph of how the token price has been performing since the MAPR token was launched. (Thanks to @gerber for the discord-bot.)
As this is now a historical graph, as the app that generates it no longer works, I shall keep it as a monument.
See you next week!
I hope you all survive 2022!
Next rewards distribution will be on Monday 28 March 2022.
