Node provider renumeration dates

Just a brief questions on Node provider renumeration.
Are the dates and amounts known to both Node providers and/or public?
Are the dates always the same? Are the dates and amounts calculable by third parties?
If so what steps are taken to avoid short selling?

The rewards data is publicly accessible and can be retrieved from the governance canister via the dashboard.

As for the payout dates, they are not fixed but are calculated based on the timestamp of the previous reward distribution. You can find the logic for this in the governance source code.

To estimate future payouts, this is the only available method I’m aware of.

This wiki also has an explanation both in terms of timing and amounts.

Thanks for sharing the links.

@jonit, you most likely know this already, but for anyone else reading, you can view past dates and amounts of node provider rewards on the ICP Dashboard. This is not what you were asking about, but might still be helpful context.
