I feel like the math has got to be a little more complicated than what is being floated around here. 

For example, if an individual’s share of the total allowance pool is limited to 0.22% (10,000/4,500,000) then their excess contribution to the vault would need to be removed in determining everyone else’s allowance, otherwise the whole allowance pool wouldn’t be distributed, right? Which would mean to get the max 10k allowance, you would need to distribute far less than 0.22% of the total pool.

Someone set me straight here. You can’t simply compute the required stake for a 10K allowance as 0.22% of the total value balance, can you? 

Extreme example, but if @wake.eth contributed 99.99% of the DEGEN in the vault, he’d only get 10K allowance. If we don’t remove his excess DEGEN contribution from the equation, only 0.01% of the total allowance pool (or 450 DEGEN) would be getting split between all other contributors to the vault.

If I’m thinking about this right, then everyone is waaay overestimating the amount that needs to be locked to secure a 10K allowance…

this is the case and it was not explained at all.

a few whales could swoop in and make it so everyone has no allocation. 

Kind of bizarre

Yea I decided not to stake anything, I have more than enough to get a max allocation but this just seems so wrong.

Yeah, I saw Jacek’s cast confirming. Seems very bizarre. I would not be shocked if something changes mid season if it gets out of hand.
