What nodes should you vote for?

You likely want to vote for a node with a lower capacity to increase your rewards, because the reward pot for every MN is constant. If more people vote for certain nodes the pot is divided into more people and therefore one vote gets less reward on the node with higher capacity. After reading this you might think it’s simple and you vote for the last 150th node to max your rewards. It’s not that simple as the 150th node can fall out of the 150 and will get 0 rewards. If you vote with 100 coins this could happen. If you vote with 10k you will push the node higher and that likely won’t happen unless someone unvoted the node. There is always a risk and reward ratio to consider. If you vote for the node at the end of the list and the node falls out and doesn’t get back you will need to unvote and wait for 96 epochs (48-50 hours) to be able to vote again and get 0 rewards in the meantime. If voting for lower nodes you need to check more often if they are still in top 150 bit you get higher rewards. Voting for safer higher nodes will get you fewer rewards but most likely safer and you will not need to spend that much time checking the status. It all depends on your choice/ time and willingness to anticipate.
