So you described the system for redeeming vouchers as follows @Monetha.io
"I just copy the statements from our whitepaper about our incentive program:
"This voucher will be redeemable if you transfer your MTH tokens to the smart contract address on the 1st day of every month. Then, within the 24 hour window, your MTH tokens will be returned to your wallet. You will be able to accumulate your voucher each month and spend the amount you collected over the 6 month period in the Monetha’s ecosystem. Each month’s collected MTH voucher will be viable to spend for the upcoming 6 months. Unclaimed/unused revenue from vouchers will be put in a pool for the next month. The MTH voucher is not compare to the MTH token. The voucher is not transferable, cannot be sold and can only be used for purchasing discounted goods on the Monetha Platform."
This seems extremely risky and troublesome and there would also be a fee to send the tokens over the ether network (which is also becoming more costly as ethereums price increases and the networks demands increase due to larger traffic ).
Will there be a better system to redeem vouchers eventually ?
My main concern is risking potentially tens of thousands of dollars worth of tokens or more, by sending them out once a month, to receive a 20 dollar voucher or whatever it is ?
There really is no way around it imho if you make it that difficult to redeem vouchers then it is obvious that such a method is simply to discourage anyone from actually receiving a voucher . I mean its unheard of who does business like that , just imagine if a retailer advertised that it will give vouchers away to any of its share holders as long as you transfer them to an account of there choice ? Did your company consult the ethiopian prince who has millions squirrelled away in his royal bank account but just needs a thousand dollars to release it, on this method for redeeming vouchers ?
I really have alot of respect for monetha and especially the transparent reports and great social releases from Justas Pikelis but unfortunately this method for redeeming vouchers has me questioning everything about monetha . Tbh the one thing about monetha that always troubled me the most was the incentive to invest in monetha as a return on investment ie what sort of dividends would coin holders receive , Getting a voucher to spend as a return never really impressed me that much and I simply thought the company itself and the merchant interface would make the coin valuable . Nevertheless even though its a great idea if the coin cannot benefit me why would I hold it . Many coins simply provide a service without any dividends so a voucher is better then nothing , although making it so difficult to redeem is bad PR ultimately because it seems like all the hoops you have to go through are a deterrent due to reluctance to give out vouchers . Wouldn't it have been easier just to make it once a blue moon while standing on tip toes, if you can thread a elephant through the eye of a needle while taking a selfie and send it to us we will give you a voucher !
