Your project looks Interesting, about signing up to experience how it works. I read from the thread that your project has been up since 2015 and its still on a low key,I guess the publicity should be boosted. Thanks

Hi, I am happy to answer your questions and help clarify your concerns. First, regarding the 500 coin component. We initially had our currency converter tool with 500 as the baseline example amount. This was clearly labeled as a currency converter and the number would change once you typed into the box. That being said, it did cause confusion so we have since fixed that by simply making the baseline number in the box to be 1. We had no intention of misleading or confusing people and quickly addressed the issue once we saw there was some confusion. As for different pay amounts, everyone should have received the exact same amount of base UBI. Any additional amount would have been due to referrals. We have seen no evidence in the blockchain of this not being the case but I would be happy to explore your circumstance to determine why the numbers seem off and if in fact they are.  Can you dm me a screenshot of your dashboard? We distribute 3.5% of new coins into circulation annually through the UBI. This is broken down into 52 smaller distributions, i.e. once a week. The concept of the "free money" component is based on the fundamental idea that most currencies, and even commodities like gold, experience a moderate annual inflation.The only difference is that everyone who participates in the manna economy, by becoming a UBI recipient, receives an equal share of that new money created. We are working diligently on streamlining the process. This includes a FAQ/ videos regarding many of the commonly asked questions like the ones you have asked, improving the sign-up experience to prevent any possibility of confusion, and educating the community as effectively as possible about how the project works and what to expect. In the end, like anything in this world, the success or failure of Manna will depend on the community of people who choose to support it. Anyways, we really appreciate you spreading the word and I apologize for any flack you ended up receiving due to confusion or misinformation. Hope this helps quell some of your concerns, and I hope I can help get to the bottom of your issues regarding the amount of coins you received.

Could you explain how the distribution system works?  It seems odd to me that the premise is Universal equality.  but people that I got to sign up got different pays (and no none of them had referrals) and I have no clue what the amount I got was based off of but it certainly was not based off of my referrals + 1 * (the number of coins my wife received).  Maybe it was the amount all my referrals received + what random # of coins I received as a base.  I don't know how many everyone got so I don't know.  But I'm hoping you can tell us why everything seems random.

p.s. it was hard enough to try to convince people that this is not a scam because no one believes in the word free with no strings attached.  I was hoping the people I hounded and got to signup would spread the word and affirm what I was saying after receiving their coins today but instead it worked the opposite way.  Conspiracy theories about different numbers and major grumbles about the misleading 500coins = $8.50 every day upto March 1st and then receiving less than 50.  I mean pshhh I don't mind spreading the word on stuff but I certainly don't like people asking me all this crap like I did it.  Well hopefully you have answers cause I'm tired of people asking.
