Now typically it takes a week before you get any rewards from delegation. However, when I've delegated to @leo.voter I've seen rewards sent within 24 hours. However, for our delegator dragons? @amazingdrinks was the first to sent in a delegation reward.
.486 Hive
Okay, sure it is a small amount but it is certainly not nothing and @amazingdrinks gets the honor of being the first to help fund the Great Little Dragons community. Horray!
As another side note.
I always wondered when it said that staked Hive Power gets a 3% return. For the longest time I wondered when that interest was paid. It took me a long time to discover that it happens behind the scenes and your HP just grows without any notifications coming to your notifications. @stonegale.gld had 305 HP a few days ago when started up but now it has gone up to 305.074.
Okay. The 0.074HP is really tiny but it is measurable so nice to see its value is going up little by little.
Another Dragon to Introduce
now @gldragon has made a post of two and I'm not entirely sure how it will develop and what its goal will be. However, my current thought is that it will be the dragon that rewards community members with weekly prizes based how active community members are.
Again I'm reaching out to all members who have GLD tokens to get ideas on how I should proceed with weekly rewards.
These are the current token holders (not including myself).
@monica-ene, @rare-gem, @jjmusa2004, @supernova004, @lightpen, @jmis101, @henrietta27, @johnny023, @gwajnberg, @regisnation, @dlmmqb, @candnpg, @ngwinndave, @winston3992, @cleanestelf897, @etiboy56, @greeneyedwitch, @carnificina, @emreal, @synergized
My current thought on weekly rewards?
- I'd like to reward every active member who holds at least 1 GLD token
- Activity can be as small as just cheering on a dragon or tagging @hiveabbyftp, @tergan, or @terganftp in a post or even reply in community.
So...
For this coming week anyone holding GLD tokens I'm asking for you to share a reply, even as small as "I want a reward" to get a little something sent to you next week.
But if you want to help out a little?
I'm wondering what token to send. Of course GLD is the token of the community but I'm trying to keep it linked to dragons and not use it much outside of the upcoming dragon battling mechanics. However, I was thinking of rewarding it to members of the community up to a maximum held of 2500 GLD. Why 2500? Well, I was thinking of putting the price of your own dragon.gld account at 2500 GLD (eventually, when the dragon mechanics are worked out). After 2500 GLD I was thinking of gifting HIVE to members.
But a thought came up. What are the community thoughts on delegated HP as a reward? I kind of liked the idea that the dragon you support would delegate a portion of its HP back to the community member that supported it. Any thoughts out there anyone?
Cheering mechanics
I mentioned cheering for your favorite dragon as a mechanic going forward. I really like the idea of members cheering for the dragon they want to get stronger. It's fun to root for a team, but the votes will also let me know what dragon project you want me to focus more attention on.
But I've been thinking about how to keep the bookwork simple. Here is the mechanic I think I'll be going with provided it meets community approval.
Now as you may know HIVE uses Resource Credits as a free renewable resource for posting. In the spirit of Resource Credits I was thinking of buying a bunch of SPORTS tokens which are dirt cheap. I was thinking of sending every person who holds GLD token an equivalent amount of SPORTS tokens IF they want to cheer on a dragon. As an example: @emreal has 5 GLD so I'd send him 5 sports for free. He can send those 5 sports tokens to whichever dragon he wants to get stronger.
@monica-ene with 2550 GLD would get 2500 Sports tokens (free..yeah, I'm implementing a 2500 GLD cap remember). She could send those 2500 tokens to whichever dragon(s) she wanted to support. As the month progresses here is what I'm thinking of:
The more SPORTS tokens a dragon gets the stronger it becomes so it will win more battles.
At the end of the month SPORTS tokens will be removed form the dragons and be replaced with a portion of CRO tokens based on how well supported it was compared to its peers.
The SPORTS tokens would be returned to the members who CHEERED so they can vote again the next month.
The idea is simple. GLD holders can get SPORTS tokens for free to cheer on their favorite dragons. If someone who isn't a member of the community wanted to send them SPORTS for some unknown reason they would make the dragon stronger for a month but would just be burning their tokens as they wouldn't be returned at the end of the month.
Just thoughts for now...
Anyways it is all just in the planning stage.
But as a reminder. Any GLD holders who want to cheer on dragons in the future let me know (tag me by putting @terganftp in a reply) so I can send you SPORTS tokens. Any members who want to get a weekly reward do the same thing. Yeah, this weeks reward will be meager but I have to start somewhere.
So thanks for reading,
Happy the first tiny trickle of income came in,
and thanks to @amazingdrinks for being the first
