But don’t we supply a part of the stake in purchasing the pnode?
In purchasing the device we are granted 35% of its returns because we are splitting the stake?
We are not putting in the full stake, therefore we are splitting it, we get a certain amount from that split but we never fully own anything outside of the node? Since we fully paid for the node at a certain USD amount, and the price of PRV can increase or decrease, so upon a 1750 full stake we would then be paying that 100% at a certain price amount depending on where PRV sits at the second we hit purchase.
Like, I’m not getting the confusion.
I could understand where if a person says, hey I bought the node at “x” price so that should be discounted from when I want to fully stake. So, 1750 PRV minus, I dunno 450 PRV equals 1300 PRV, and that’s the price you pay.
But your pnode automatically earning a certain amount, being given straight to you to use how you want (not reinvesting in some stake pool specifically for your node) and then after your node randomly earns its 1,750th PRV that your node is now fully earning at 100%.
Instead of understanding that, if you earn a certain amount of PRV, that over time you will have earned enough to repay yourself $400 USD worth of PRV so you can sit back and say, “Hey, my node paid itself off! Great!”. But that in no way implies you have restaked a certain amount “somewhere” to “magically” make your node fully and completely “yours”.
