UPDATED COMMUNITY REWARDS PROGRAM...

You can now earn free NRV tokens without the requirement to be a token sale contributor.


We really want to honor the passion and support of those who love our concept but perhaps don't have enough ETH to contribute financially. We love our community members!

Here's how to qualify:

• You must be registered on our official community site. Register here: https://community.narrative.network
• You must join the Narrative Telegram Group. Be sure to include your Telegram username/handle on your Community Profile.
• You must have a balance of at least 20 activity points on your Community profile by the end of the Community Rewards period. You'll earn points automatically just be participating in the community (posting content, commenting, etc.)

Approximately one month after the end of the Token Sale, the Community Rewards program will end and all activity points earned in the Narrative Community will be recorded for each qualified person (based on the criteria listed above). Activity points are earned based on contributions to the community; while the formula is not published, activities like posting new content, commenting, and participating in general will earn points, which will be visible on your community profile.

The Narrative Community managers may also apply points to users at any time (or, for troublemakers, remove points).

You can also earn additional points in the following ways:

• Contribute to our Token Sale. Make sure your registered community email address matches your Token Sale email address. If you contribute 10 ETH or less, you will receive a 15% bonus on your activity point total. If you contribute over 10 ETH, you will receive a 30% bonus.
• Be really active participant in our Telegram Group. The Top 5 participants will be given 200 bonus points. The top 5 will be selected by a community vote, selected from a pool of 10 nominees selected by Narrative.

Once the token sale ends, we will award NRV tokens to all qualified users, on a pro rata basis. 200,000 NRV tokens will be disbursed on a pro rata basis to all qualified users. Note that only 50% of the 200,000 tokens will be awarded immediately, with the remainder granted when the platform actually launches. The more activity points you earn, the more tokens you will be awarded.

very good project, soon I will join ICO this project, I have been waiting ICO this project very long, since this announcement exists. I see the progress of this project is no longer good, but incredible. I really hope on your project

We created a handy-dandy step by step guide for those who want to participate in our token sale:

Thanks for the heads up John, but there's a lot of incorrect information on there...I've submitted updates and hopefully the page will reflect soon.

Hey guys, the website is beautiful to look at and it's definitely something i'd like to get behind. Do you have a bounty campaign available?

I'm so glad you picked up on that Nicolas! We feel really strongly that mods deserve to be rewarded!

We've made some tweaks to our token sale process, detailed in this blog post: https://blog.narrative.network/token-sale-launch-now-set-for-january-16th-ff797082a18.

Key changes:

• Token sale shifted to Jan 16 - Feb 15, 2018 (pre-sale events to be announced)
• Unsold tokens will now be burned, rather than going to the Narrative distribution pool

Narrative will also be a huge draw for community managers, as its Moderator system provides tangible rewards for moderators, and moderation is required for all niches.

Huffington Post coverage of Narrative this morning:
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/reinventing-the-social-network_us_5a0db07ee4b006a16baf1f98.

Focuses on how the social network is being reinvented!

Anyone who contributes 10 ETH or more in our Token Sale will earn Founder status, which conveys some really valuable perks.

1.  First Dibs on Niches

Niches are valuable real estate in Narrative. They are the unique subjects that users post to. Think "Los Angeles Lakers" or "World of Warcraft", etc.  And each niche has an owner, someone who purchases it (just like a domain) and shares in the revenue earned by the content it contains.  Each Network Rewards payout period, 10% of the rewards are paid to these niche owners.

Thus, the more popular niches will likely earn the most money.

When the network launches, we're going to give all Founders a 48-hour head-start on locking up niches.  There will be a limit on how many each Founder can reserve, however.  This gives Founders a significant advantage in securing the very best real estate in Narrative.

2. Lifetime Activity Points Bonus

Members accrue activity points as they do things in the network (like post new content, comment, vote, etc.)  And Narrative rewards all participants by paying 8% of all Network Rewards to users based on their Activity Point totals. The more you have, the higher the payout.

For the life of their network account, Founders will receive a 10% bonus for all activity points they earn each reward period. That means a higher share of Activity Rewards payouts.  

3. Exclusive Access to Our Team During Development Phase

We’ll be setting up a private space online after the Token Sale ends and this area will only be accessible by Founders. You will get sneak peaks at new developments and overall platform development.

 nails it with what makes the Narrative proposition something different.


https://blog.narrative.network/my-own-chapter-in-the-narrative-65cec30290ef


So we're putting our efforts into building a content economy where the users who do the work of making things great reap the rewards.  The current system monetizes your attention through whatever works (clickbait, outrage, echo chambers..) and sends the paycheck to the  marketers.  With an economy built on the NRV token we can send 85% of revenue to creators, curators,  and the owners that make a content niche compelling. 

Thanks Chris. You get it!

Update from our Medium blog...https://blog.narrative.network/https-medium-com-michael-farris-moderator-rewards-narrative-new-content-economy-733117ff2924

Moderators have an important role to play in our new content economy. Michael Farris explains what that is, and why it's so important. We want to reward those unsung heroes.

Hi sashadoc-

We compare Narrative to Steemit in our white paper: https://assets.narrative.network/documents/narrative-network.pdf

So definitely, check that out, but let walk through some of the differences:

1.  Steemit does not have a complete content economy and its model is relatively simple.

With Narrative, we have a deep model for tracking and rewarding participation on the network.  That model also factors in user reputation and content ratings.  For example, an up-vote or down-vote in Narrative has more impact if the person has more credibility/higher rank in the community.  And we track more types of participation, qualifying more users for rewards.

2.  Multiple Tokens vs. One Token

Steemit has a fairly confusing token model, featuring multiple tokens, each with a different role/purpose. Narrative has one token.

3.  Content Search

Search in Steemit is primitive. It has to be because current blockchain technology is not built for the kind of indexing associated with content.  Narrative takes a different approach with the content, not storing the content itself on a blockchain, allowing for enterprise-class scalability and search.. .and allowing us to compete with the dominant social networks.

4.  Moderation

In both systems, users have autonomy, but in Narrative we add a moderation layer, whereby the community elects moderators (who are also compensated via the rewards system) to ensure a good experience for everyone.  Even better, all moderator actions are transparent, so they are also accountable for their actions.

5. Niches

Narrative is introducing a whole new type of content channel type called niches. For more on that, see: https://blog.narrative.network/niches-a-new-paradigm-for-social-media-2058351b843d  Niches are unique subjects and each niche has an owner, incentivizing upkeep of each such area (and providing rewards for the owners, as well).

6. Not Just For Cryptos

If you want rewards in Steemit, you ultimately need to have crypto.  Our goal with Narrative is to get WIDE adoption so we can compete with the established leaders (Facebook, Medium, Wordpress, etc.). For that reason, we will support letting users cash out their rewards in fiat currency (and even allowing advertisers to pay in fiat).  There are incentives to use crypto (you pay a premium to use fiat), but we want to reduce the barriers to entry for everyone.

There is more detail in the white paper, and I think if you read it you'll see that Narrative is a radical improvement over SteemIt. That's not to knock SteemIt, either. SteemIt has proven that user-autonomous, crypto-based social media platforms can work.

I hope this helps! 

what are the differences from Steemit, other than as an opportunity to make a profit?

We've just published a blog post about Niches, which are a major part of the Narrative concept: https://blog.narrative.network/niches-a-new-paradigm-for-social-media-2058351b843d

Note that niches are unique subjects (created by network members) within the network and each niche has an owner, who earns revenue based on the popularity of his niche(s). 

We'll also be talking about Founder status with Narrative soon... Founders will have a 48-hour jumpstart on creating new niches when the network launches, which will be a significant advantage in the land grab for popular subjects.  Founder status will be given to anyone who contributes 10 ETH or more in the Token Sale.  More on Founder status later.

In case anyone wants to follow, here's a link to our Twitter account. We'll be sharing updates, news, and crypto content.

Re: caps---

We are selling a maximum of 65 million tokens and the token sale price is $0.62, so maximum would be $40.3 million. However, because we are selling a certain amount in Early Bird and Pre-Sale before then (and the price is lower in those phases), the most likely raise is between $33-37million. 

For Early Bird, we are limiting total contribution to 6500 ETH. Pre-Sale will close once we raised a total of 60,000 ETH (across both phases).  If both of those phases sell out, then the total raise will be lower because of the lower token prices in the earlier phases.   Hence, we expect a total sell out to raise between $33 - 37 million. 

The other variable that prevents us from giving a more specific total is that the ETH/USD exchange rate that will determine the number of tokens issued per ETH will not be locked in until 24 hours before the token sale day. This is similar to the way Blackmooncrypto handled their token sale.

Hope that helps!

Could you give us some information about the soft cap and the hard cap for this project?
With it we could get easier way to learn more about the project.

Early bird price is US $0.48/token, pre-sale price will be US $0.58/token, and token sale price will be US $0.62/token?

Price one token when in exchange?

I like it, nice project with the good idea.

Thanks Dev

Airdrop?

There are still few moments before the pre ICO and the ICO started, It should be enough time to prepare to join the bounties if there is any.

I think it's better to invest in projects with a limited number of coins. If many coins are issued, then they are practically depreciated. There are a lot of them, they are not interested in speculators. In any scenario, as soon as the coins reach the market, in 80 percent of cases, they all practically fall to the bottom and then, perhaps in a few months, growth begins.
