VYB Airdrop Info -- Preliminary Tabulation & Calc's (Part 1 of 4) -- Summary for #1-336
Due to Hive’s size limitations for posts and the largeness of the tables required to show all the tabulated data and calc’s for the upcoming VYB airdrop, we’ve had to split this into 4 parts. The wording in each post is the same, but the tabulated data are different.
This is Part 1 of 4. Below is a list identifying the data included in each of the 4 different parts:
Part 1 = Summary Tabulation of Anticipated VYB Airdrop Values for All Eligible Accountholders (# 1-336)
Part 2 = Detailed Tabulation of Anticipated VYB Airdrop Values for Accountholders # 1-120
Part 3 = Detailed Tabulation of Anticipated VYB Airdrop Values for Accountholders # 121-240
Part 4 = Detailed Tabulation of Anticipated VYB Airdrop Values for Accountholders # 241-336
As mentioned in the initial VYB white paper,
1,000,000 VYB will be airdropped to accountholders who [1] have earned POB by creating original content and [2] have chosen to hodl that POB rather than sell it or otherwise dispose of it. In particular, the 1,000,000 VYB will be airdropped proportional to:
- the amount of POB each accountholder earned via original-content creation (posts and comments) (with a 90% penalty applied to self-voted posts and a 500% penalty applied to self-voted comments) and
- the amount of the aforementioned earned-POB still owned and staked (and being at least 100 POB),
- as of 11/12/2021,
- but with no single accountholder exceeding 2.5%.
We are providing herein a tabulation of the calculations for the accounts that meet the above criteria. The purpose for this post is to provide POB’ers one week to check their account stats relative to the values shown below, and to inform us of any potential calculation errors. The voting and rewards data upon which these calculations are based were graciously provided by @eonwarped shortly after November 12, 2021. The richlist data were obtained from https://he.dtools.dev/richlist/POB shortly after November 12, 2021.
There are a few important caveats to note:
Whenever there were obvious alt accounts owned by a single individual, those accounts were treated as one (i.e. all earned POB were summed together and all staked POB were summed together and any upvotes from one to the other were counted as self-votes).
If you have multiple accounts and would like them combined for the purposes of the VYB airdrop calculations, please leave a comment before the payout period for this post is reached, identifying all the applicable accounts.
If you were around during the first couple weeks after the launch of the Proof of Brain tribe, you should remember an event that I refer to as “The Proof of Brain Storm.” It centered around a single self-voted comment that netted the author / curator over 32k POB. The accountholder who capitalized on that ‘glitch’ in the code graciously agreed to return the 32k POB, and those POB were subsequently distributed to the authors who ‘should have earned them’ had the glitch never existed. The first round of those corrections was detailed in this post by the POB tribe founder. Those earned POB rewards have been included in the tables below.
- However, other corrections were made that did not receive a separate on-chain post. If you received ‘corrected POB rewards’ as a result of the aforementioned ‘glitch correction’, please leave a comment before the payout period for this post is reached and include the exact amount of the corrected POB rewards you received, the date they were issued to your account, and a screenshot from your Hive-Engine wallet showing the transaction .
The tables below provide summations of the POB rewards data for the 336 accountholders who have met the aforementioned airdrop qualifications. If you believe your name should be on the list, please drop a comment, including your calculations (or an estimate thereof) for Columns ( B ), ( C ), ( D ), and ( E ), and we will check to see if a mistake was made.
Explanation of Columns
- Author = eligible accountholder (i.e. earned and staked and hodled at least 100 POB)
- ( B ) = total POB rewards (author and curator) for comments that were not self-voted
- ( C ) = total POB rewards (author and curator) for comments that were self-voted
- ( D ) = total POB rewards (author and curator) for posts that were not self-voted
- ( E ) = total POB rewards (author and curator) for posts that were self-voted
- ( F ) = 100% * ( B ) - 400% * ( C ) + 100% * ( D ) + 10% * ( E )
- Column ( F ) applies the penalties for self-voting that were detailed in the initial VYB white paper
- ( G ) = 45% * ( F )
- Column ( G ) converts total rewards (author + curator) to author-only rewards
- Author rewards are assumed to be 45% of total rewards -- this number is based on the 10% ‘tax’ on author rewards that has been effect since the POB tribe was first launched; although some changes have been made to the ‘tax’ since inception, we are using the 45% conversion number throughout
- ( H ) = total POB staked by the author as of November 12, 2021
- ( I ) = minimum of ( G ) and ( H )
- Column ( I ) is the amount of author-earned POB that was staked and hodled by the author, which forms the proportional basis for the 1,000,000 VYB airdrop
- ( J ) = ( I ) / 260,492.6 * 100
- Column ( J ) is the anticipated percentage of the 1,000,000 VYB airdrop (subject to the 2.5% cap -- no individual will receive more than 25,000 VYB via the airdrop)
- NOTE: 260,492.6 = the sum of all author-earned POB that was staked and hodled by the authors
- ( K ) = ( J ) * 1,000,000 VYB
- Column ( K ) is the anticipated airdrop amount for each accountholder (this value may change if any tabulation or calculation errors are identified prior to the actual airdrop -- once the airdrop has been made, no corrections or adjustments will be possible)
Sum Totals of POB Rewards & Staked POB (as of November 12, 2021) (Sum of # 1-336)
The table immediately below sums up all the columns from the subsequent tables (for the 336 accountholders who met the eligibility requirements for the upcoming VYB airdrop).

Accountholders |
You will notice that Column ( J ) does not add up to 100% and Column ( K ) does not add up to 1,000,000 VYB. This is because the top four eligible accountholders (@calumam, @leprechaun, @amr008, @vempromundo) each exceeded 2.5% in terms of their share of Column ( I ). However, we are capping each individual airdrop recipient to a maximum of 2.5% of the 1,000,000 VYB total (i.e. 25,000 VYB).
To keep the airdrop at a cool million VYB, the VYB tokens that are trimmed by the 2.5% cap (approximately 35k VYB) will be airdropped to @vyb.contests. @vyb.contests will provide a 1-to-1 prize match for any VYB-based contests folks choose to sponsor over the coming weeks and months (while supplies last). We will add a #vyb-contests channel to the Proof of Brain discord server in the near future, where folks can drop links to their VYB-specific contest posts. Guidelines will be provided in that discord channel. Posting a link there will be the de facto request for matching funds from @vyb.contests. For each approved prize match, confirmation regarding the matching funds will be posted as a comment (from @vyb.contests) to the contest link.

VYBolt Lightning Chain Help
You can tag one friend to keep this lightning chain active.
If you tag somebody who has already commented, the lightning chain will receive one strike.
Three strikes = VYBolt chain break, @vybolt will reset, new question, new commenter
Repeat commenters can respond if the chain has not been broken by three strikes.
Any replies made to this comment which aren't from the tagged author (shared at the very beginning of this comment) are voided when it comes to VYB rewards, and won't contribute to the VYBolt Lightning chain milestone.
This VYBolt comment is the first in the chain and contains the basic mechanics. Replies from @vybolt will be condensed to reduce resources.
Management of @vybolt is fully manual at this time. Thank you for your patience.
@vybolt presented me with the following questions
The three most essential things I look for in a post are: orginal content; multiple images or one image with quality context (at least 100-125 words); and meaningfulness / relevancy.
What motivates me the most to comment on an article depends on how the post affected me and how much time I have to reply at that particular moment. Oftentimes I bookmark a post after upvoting and go back to comment later. Also if the author is someone new to me, I am more likely to "introduce myself" by commenting for the first time.
Tagging @funshee to answer the same questions to keep the VYB Lightning alive✍
Thank you for the mention at Beeber,
These are the three most essential things I looks forward to in a post;
Engaging content; if a post is engaging, I will definitely leave one or two comment on it to share my thought on the post.
I mostly look forward to a Quality post; the overall quality of a post will make me stay a bit to drop a comment, provided I'm not too very busy at the time.
lastly; Interesting: depending on how a post is interesting to me will make me want to wait and engage with the Author and support him or her all the ways I can.
I'm inviting @samsmith1971 to can and share her thought with us and keep this Lightning going.

Thank you @funshee for tagging me in the @vybolt lightning chain :-) How exciting! 😀 So the question I am being asked and which I will ask the next person is:
In terms of actual content, I look for something intellectual or philosophical that challenges the intellect and makes me think and question pre-existing norms, OR a post that brings something interesting and new to the table and to my attention and allows me the opportunity to learn and gain knowledge, OR a post that is personal in nature, inspiring and uplifting. I love posts that deliver messages through creative works such as short stories and poetry, but I am equally happy reading a well-researched discursive essay.
The post must be original and not plagiarised and there must be evidence that the person has put in a personal written qualitative effort into the post. No respinning or redundant messaging and not just a post full of photos without any meaningful written content. I do, however, upvote artists and photographers, and other creatives (whose focus is non-written) who I believe provide good accompanying written context for their art.
The third thing is connection. The posts I really enjoy are the ones where I feel that the author has made an effort to connect with me as a reader, by showing me a part of themselves in their posts, showing vulnerabily or sharing their personal views so that I feel like I am getting a little window into who they are as a person. And when these people engage meaningly in their posts and then also engage meaningfully in the comments, this is when I really enjoy a post.
What motivates me most to comment is tied in with (3) above ...when authors have made a real attempt at connecting with their audience and have posted a quality article that tells me not only something about the facts of the article or creative piece but shares a bit of who they are as a person and allows me the privilege of being able to visit with them. If I get the feeling from a post that I could be sat next to the author enjoying a cuppa on the sofa, I will engage to my heart's content💗
I invite @dreemsteem to take part. @dreemsteem you have been struck by @vybolt.
Please read the original post to ensure that you continue the vybolt chain and don't break it ;-) Key elements are to respond to the question within 12 hours and to tag someone else who has not been tagged in the chain already :-) I am tagging you because I know you will have something meaningful to add to the conversation🙏

MONEY. ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. HAHAHAHA
kidding. ok - i normally write massive comments hahaha -but i'm gonna try to keep this one succint. I said TRY. lol
Make it interesting & uniquely YOU. I don't want to read something I could google. I want to read something that I can only get from YOU. Your perspective, your passion, your humor, your thoughts.
Make it powerful. Take the time to edit, and make it hit the target. I don't mind longer reads! But does it NEED to be that long? if not - EDIT. editing is your friend 🤓 It's a great discipline to learn as a blogger!
Did you invite me in? Are you just speaking your thoughts out loud? Or are you trying to resonate with your readers. Either is fine! But if you invite me to join in - I'd love to meet you in the comment section!
Alright... @penderis - you've been struck by lightning! hehehe Come answer the question within 12 hours to keep the chain going 😋

Time posted: Just in time
1a. a Title that is creative or at least about something interesting.
1b. a Body does not read dry but has some curves to it
1c. It can even be short and fun, memes anyone?
Frankly I don't really comment but the above are reasons to combined with:
2a. I am bored and just in that mood.
2b. They do not have any comments.
2c. The content is the perfect storm for me to want to speak my sheet :P
Everything can be in place, but if I do not feel like commenting then I won't. It has almost nothing to do with peoples content. These things come in waves and socials / commenting is draining. Fortunately the same things make me vote or rehive posts, I would often do those things or other rewards if it does not require me to comment. Unfortunately, tokens like !PIZZA and !LUV them require comments so I hardly use them.
I think someone that likes commenting like @rubido could be a good option for the next Lightning strike :)
@penderis(1/5) gave you | wallet | market | tools | connect | <><
How did you know 😶
A good title definitely helps as does a good cover picture. But my biggest clickbait reaction is to the subject. Especially if any of the trigger words are there,the 3 bs boobs,beer,booze.
As for sticking my nose where it doesn't belong... I'll comment on just about anything if I'm in the right mood or drunk.
What about you @edprivat

Thanks @rubido for tagging me.
I think if really depends on my state of mind, if I am in a good mood, and if I am lately happy with how much my posts made, it's easier to be engaged in other people content because there is no envy, whereas it's harder to engage when a post is making too much money. it's a really weird thing, I think when a post makes above average, the engagement rate decreases and you might even lose interest of people over time if you have a succession of well paid posts.
Truth is, I am more engaged toward the friends I grew relationships with on hive throughout the years, no matter what they release, I'll always support them 💯% , it's also difficult to be there for everyone all the time 😂
For me as a singer, the most famous songs get more engagement.
What do you think of this conversation @ablaze?
Hey @edprivat, thanks for the tag man and interested about this new token VYB... I think I qualify for some tokens from my staked POB.
Anyway to answer the initial question above, the three most important things for me are effort, authenticity and either relevance or humour. If it aint funny it better be relevant and if it aint relevant it better be funny! 🤣
As for commening on content, I'll always drop a note when I find sonething was a really good read, listen (songs) or view (photos) or if I am giving some advise to a noob.
@blanchy what do you reckon yourself?
I'm the same as you @ablaze. I absolutely love the funny ones and look forward to @meesterboom s post because they crack me up. I quite like the informative ones about new projects / tutorials amd tokenomics as well.
Excellent, will check @meesterboom out now, thanks for the steer 👍

Oh my, I like this!
The three things I am looking for most in a post are
1: Funny - I love the lighter side of life. I use this place as escapism from the drab mundane working day. Show me something funny and unforced in a descriptive telling of an event and I am in.
2: Passion. At the risk of sounding like a lover lover man. I want to see the passion in a post. Something to show the author is not just going through the motions for the rewards.
3: That old chestnut originality. Give me something I wont get from someone else. Be that art or writing or a glimpse into your life. Dont give me the same old same old why crypto will decentralise nations blah blah.
I shall tag the wiggler :OD @dswigle I am sure you will have much to say on this!
1 - Something that excites me, whether that be something I did not know or information

😭
Mission Failure
You let us down Denise. You let me down, you let the chain down, you let VYB down.
But worse yet. You let yourself down.
;OD
I know. I am so sorry. :(
Notifications are hard to miss, it ain't no biggy!
Haha 100% on the right mood, obviously bonus if all the B's.. ducks are in a row. When it comes to commenting really any content will do just gotta be "triggered".
flip your vby to vyb hehehehe
I can't find my name in any of the list, I guess because I'm new. I've made some POB creating contents in weeks. Am I totally out? Or will another snapshot be taken? I think I've made more than 100POB Without buying so far.
If the POB is staked and the stake is up to 100 POB, then you will surely get yours. That's part of the conditions.
So is it over now? Can I still stake to complete 100? Because I think I have 70+ staked .
Well, to the best of my knowledge, I think it is over buddy. The snapshot has been taken already. The next way to earn VYB will be through posts and VYB contest.
Okay thanks.. That's what I just wanted to know. 😀
It was a snapshot as of 11/12/21. So you're late, but vyb will become available to earn/buy soon enough...
You need to have had at least 100 pob or more earned from content and staked before the 12 of November
Oh I didn't meet that.. my question is,is it over now?
Yes this airdrop is the only one for Vybrainium, there may be other airdrops in the future for other new tribes, but you can still earn vybrainium for your content I believe
Sorry, you only had 48 POB staked just after November 12, 2021.
No other snapshot will be taken. However, you can earn early VYB by following @vyb.earn. Take a look at this post
Very interesting!! I like this idea, something downvote-proof as a companion to POB. Thanks for this!
Awesome news here.
Wonderful, I have finally made it into the top 50 of a tribe, coming in at 40th position is rather encourage and a welcome early christmas box, cheers to the VYB team and all involved for bringing this awesome initiative to the proof of brain community.
Hey @vyb.vyb I'm glad to be on that list. Thanks a lot for the vyb tokens. It's a great way to end the year! ❤️

I am so filled with joy right now 🥰😁😁😁😇 thanks so much team vyb.

Master of engagement.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. I like the distribution model and the penalties. A few people must be pissed now.
Love the distribution model. Nice to make the list. Thanks
This is lovely.. I found myself in the list... Although not happy I am far behind. Guess I will have to tripple my effort..
Thanks to the team behind this... This is indeed a wonderful Christmas gift. I appreciate
I miss my name on that list 😔
That early self-voted comment dropped you from the list. However, whereas you graciously and quickly returned the POB from the 'glitch' associated with that self-voted comment, I will delete that comment reward from your history and redo the calc's.
That leaves you with Column ( I ) = 441 POB and will put you around 1,600 VYB in the airdrop.
Thank you very much @trostparadox !
Thanks so much for the inclusion here 😊
I didn't know this airdrop was coming. I also didn't know people upvote their own content and comments. Always learning new things here on the Hive blockchain. 💪
Looking forward to learn more about the project...
Aha, I've lost a lot of points because I was in a curation trail upvotibg most post for a long time without knowing there was a "no selfvote" button 😅
At least I will still make 600+ tokens !! !PIZZA
Why did I not receive vyb ?
Were you the one who posted the Council of Ricks meme that they were so scared of whales they started a token and became whales? I was the one who joked in a reply to @l337m45732 that VYB was a combination of Occupy Wall Street and a homeowner association built on the Hive platform.
I am sure due to self-voting some accounts had negative numbers. I think when @vyb.vyb calculated my score using the formula my score was the only imaginary number.📏😁
@iyiade
You have received 342 POB via self-voted comments. That wiped out what you would have otherwise received. Here are the stats:
SV Comments = 342 POB (= -1,368 POB)
SV Posts = 469 POB (= 46.9 POB)
No-SV Comments = 1,196 POB (= 1,196 POB)
No-SV Posts = 107 POB (= 107 POB)
TOTAL = -18 POB
Staked = 642 POB
342pob via selfvote? With just 642 staked? This is unbelievable
Not saying the 342 POB was the result of self-voting.
Just saying that 342 POB tokens were received via comments that were self-voted.
The criteria for the VYB airdrop stipulated that any self-voted comments would be penalized 500%. (It doesn't matter the size of the self-vote or the size of the stake behind the self-vote, just the fact that the comment was self-voted.)
I now understand you
Thanks @trostparadox for your reply
I was going to ask if my staked airdrop could be sent to @holovision.cash so I wouldn't have to unstake and transfer it there but I don't see @holovision on the list.
thank you for the airdrop.
Thanks so much, I will be honored to stake my share ❤️
!PIZZA !ALIVE
@vyb.vyb! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @wrestlingdesires. (3/10)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
112 on the list.
Don't know much about this yet but always glad of a free airdrop and always powering up the tokens.
We’re, this is a huge one, surely staking Pob pays 😊😊
Hey folks I don't see my name on here. Between barge and myself (we're kinda alts of each other) I'm sure we organically earned 100+POB to qualify.
A disappointed Dawg :(
@flamistan @barge
Might be a timing issue. We set the cutoff at November 12, 2021 (we had to set the cutoff somewhere, and whereas we were dealing with a LOT of data, it took quite a bit of time to get it all together and analyzed).
It looks like, as of that date, you two combined were at 49 + 38 = 87 POB on the earnings list. So, even counting those two accounts as 'alts' of each other would not have been enough to qualify.
Okkey Dokkey Doctor T many thanks for the explanation and I feel absolutely fine about it now, knowing this :D
I was one who received off-chain rewards from that initial 'Proof of Brain Storm'. Three payments: 749, 832 and 1435 POB. Below is screenshots
from 9 months ago:
I will take a look at those and recalculate.
Very thanks!!
Not sure I understand, why wouldn't my account get this exactly? I made posts on POB and got upvotes, I never sold anything.
The Deep Dives token is also going to be coming out soon for politically minded people, in that air drop there are a lot more than 300 something people getting it. Curious to why you are only doing it to people who used POB, as there are many people who don't use POB who are pro free speech and anti downvote.
The VYB token is meant to complement POB. We wanted the VYB airdrop to reward existing POB'ers who have already demonstrated both a commitment to POB (by earning and hodling) and personal restraint when it comes to self-voting.
So I'm not getting any due to self voting for myself with the inthink less than 50 pob I had staked?
That's a very arbitrary thing to make a requirement. Almost everyone upvotes their own posts.
Think your distribution is really missing the mark, if you want to onboard a lot of people giving a lot of people some stake does that. The goal of your project sounds like it aligns very closely with people who post in informationwar deepdives conspiracy censorship tags etc. Those people are all primed to want to use your platform. So I'm not sure why they wouldnt qualify for the token, and to be honest I've done tons of work on upvoting downvoted content with our curation trail, have put thousands of hours into curating truth posts with our informationwar trail. I'm not asking to be put on the list, I'm saying if you are leaving out obvious people like me and others then you guys are missing the mark on an easy way to get more people on your platform.
It's extremely hard to get people to use your product by just making posts about it.
I wish you guys nothing but success though.
The deep dives air drop is coming soon and is going to go out to thousands. I've worked through all that stuff already and am just sharing with you my thoughts on it to help you.
We debated quite a bit about how to handle self-votes when calculating airdrop percentages. Self-voting is allowed by Hive but often looked down upon by members of the Hive community. In the end, the decision was made for self-voted posts to still count toward the VYB airdrop, but only at 10% instead of 100%.
The 10% number was chosen so that those who consistently self-voted their posts would still receive some VYB, but would be encouraged to re-evaluate the real benefit to themselves of self-voting, especially in light of the fact that self-votes will be forbidden on VYB (consistent self-votes on VYB will result in the account, and associated alt accounts, being muted).
With all that said, we felt there was really no valid reason to self-vote comments. That's why the decision was made to penalize self-voted comments by -500%.
So, in summary, we don't dispute anyone's 'right' to self-vote. We simply choose to not support it.
I wish you guys luck.
You never staked your POB. If you had, you would've qualified for about 450 VYB in the airdrop. In general, those who stake their POB are those who also don't just earn-then-sell -- that's why we chose that as one of the key metrics.
It looks like you were one of those who 'slipped through the cracks', so to speak. If there had been an easier way to identify those who earned-but-never-sold POB, then we probably would've used that method instead of "those who earned and staked and hodled".
Oh, nvm then. I thought I had it staked.
wooooooooooooooot - Merry Christmas to meeeeeeeeee hehehehe
thank you for the tokens!!!! I love airdrops! :)
Thank you for putting me on this list
You put yourself on the list, by earning at least 100 POB as an author, then staking and hodling it. Congrats!
Thank you very much for your reply and clarification
How come I'm not in the airdrop list??? Been a dedicated top 50 richlist POB curator since the beginning and a hodler who has curated almost all the people on your list.
The VYB airdrop was geared toward those who earned POB as an author and who then hodled and staked those POB.
You did not earn enough as an author to qualify.
☹☹☹
Sorry for making you a sad panda. Check out this post though, for opportunities to earn VYB before the official launch.
OMG @vyb.vyb I made it to the list. Thanks for this I really appreciate. I wrote it in one of my posts 3months ago when I first joined this community "people that stake their money in this community are the hope and strength of the community".
Just as if I knew something was on the way for them.
Check the post out, though I was just developing my skills then don't laugh too much lol
Wow!!! Christmas came early for me I guess. Thanks a lot for this present, am really grateful.
This is a great news to hear, staking Pob pays a lot
A really interesting project. Feels good to see my name up there, Thank you!.
Hi Guys, I have 381 POB and I have never sold or traded any - I stake it all.
Do I qualify for this airdrop? Thanks - if not what do I need to do to qualify?
Unfortunately, no. Here's why:
Almost all your POB earnings were from self-voted posts (243 out of 262 POB).
The airdrop calc's only counted self-voted posts at 10% of their full value.
That dropped your qualified POB earnings from 262 POB down to 43 POB. The cutoff was 100 POB.
The airdrop calc's are based on POB earnings from February 28 through November 12, 2021. There's nothing you or anyone else can do now to change who qualifies and who doesn't.
Sorry you didn't qualify, but keep doing what your doing with POB and replicate that with VYB and things will go well for you (except you'll need to not self-vote if you want to earn VYB, because self-votes will be banned from Verify Your Brain).
No problem, that's fair enough. Thanks for verifying.
Oh I didn't see this coming. I am so happy to be on this list. Thank you very much. I appreciate this.
Wow!! 3400+ coins for free... Nice one man. That's amazing!!😁 When is the drop then.? Today ?

This post doubles as an announcement of what's coming (with respect to the VYB airdrop) and also a solicitation to give folks a chance to point out any errors or mistakes.
As soon as the voting window for this post closes, I will recalculate the percentages, then proceed with the airdrop as soon as possible thereafter (probably 12/15 or 12/16/21). The VYB rewards pool will go active on or around 12/18/21.
Brilliant man.😉 Thanks for the info!
