The STEEM price shouldn’t affect the leasing price/payments. It’s a fixed value.
I’ve also questioned the percentage taken by Minnowbooster. It seems to be very high compared to what the actual leasing account receives. I figured the facilitator would take a small percentage of the cost and the actual owner would get the large portion of the payment.
Can’t say that I’m surprised though, considering the parties running this.
Hey @ats-david, we take 10% for delegations to the bot and that did not change. We noticed payouts on our end declining the same as on the customers end.
My guess is that it is a bit related to the steem price and a lot to the fact that we are improving our vote worth calculations and now dish out more accurate votes. We are also now refunding users the difference in steem rounding and what we intended to vote. All this could cut into profits.
