Why have you reduced total tokens allocated to blog bounties silently? It was 40k now its 15k? Not like you are giving any good bounty at all.
Hi needmoney,
Regarding the blog campaign, I admit that the planning could have been better. There were many things that I did not anticipate, for example;
- the number of participants
- the expected time I wanted to have this bounty open for would not work
- the amount of people just creating empty blogspot pages with 0 traffic only for the bounty
- many people just copy the ANN or whitepaper, and just add 1 barely original sentence to circumvent my rules
- people posting translations of the ANN in many different languages, hoping that I won't be able to tell what is going on (its so obvious)
- misinformation (eg: someone wrote that the OAX token gives out dividends)
I hope people can understand that the bounty programs are a 2 way street. I can reward OAX, but I also require articles with thought, and original input. With the previous staking system, I had a lot of difficulty giving out justifiable rewards for those who contribute quality articles. Thus, I needed to modify the blog bounty structure. The system I have is still under review, I will replace the spreadsheet link once I have the stakes set.
I hope people can understand my decisions. It may seem like a harsh deduction, however, the modified stake system makes up for it.
I care for the community, and wish to reward those who are part of it.As always, I am happy to help out, and answer any questions. You can also reach out to me on slack or telegram.
