I noticed that if you added a #gmfrens tag to a thread once a day, you would be rewarded with 6.9 GM tokens. Since other people were doing this, I decided to give it a try.
Finding GMs
After a few days, I thought I would check to see how many GMs I had been rewarded, but where were they?
First, I checked my PeakD wallet. When I went to "HIVE ENGINE", PeakD had an "error retrieving date from the Hive Engine".
Next, I went to my wallet using InLeo. I was able to open the "HIVE ENGINE", but there were no GM tokens.
Then I tried installing the KeyChain app on my phone, but no GMs were there.
Finally, I installed the KeyChain extension on the Brave browser and found my GMs there.
The GM tokens were visible in my InLeo wallet but not in the KeyChain app.
I tapped on GM in the extension and was surprised to see that the "Total value" of my GM tokens was $0.00 ($0.00/token).
So, did this mean that there was an error or the value of a GM token is really low? My next step was to determine the value of a GM token.
What is the Value of a GM Token?
I searched CoinGecko for GMs and came up with a value of $0.054249 on https://coingecko.com/en/coins/gm
If this were correct, then the problem would be a KeyChain error.
What I didn't realise was that "GM", "LEO", or other searches can take you to different tokens with the same abbreviations.
I suspected that this might be the case, and luckily, @katerinaramm confirmed this and suggested I look at https://hive-engine.com/trade/GM
Today's price is $0.0000437, so there isn't a KeyChain problem. It's just that my GM tokens are worth less than a cent.
Is It Worth Using the gmfrens Tag?
Given that 1 GM is worth $0.0000437 at today's price, the daily earnings are $0.00030153 ($0.0000437 x 6.9). This means that it will take 3316 days (1/0.00030153) or ~ 9 years to earn a dollar.
