VYB Airdrop Info -- Preliminary Tabulation & Calc's (Part 1 of 4) -- Summary for #1-336

avatar
(Edited)


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:


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%.




[1]



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:

  1. 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).

  2. 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.

  3. 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 )
  • ( 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).

451,921.7
1,506,877.8
260,492.6
96.54%
965,434.1


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 presented me with the following questions

""What are the three most essential things you are looking for in a post and what do you think motivates you most to make a comment on an article you have just read?"

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.

Thank you for the mention at Beeber,

""What are the three most essential things you are looking for in a post and what do you think motivates you most to make a comment on an article you have just read?"

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:

What are the three most essential things you are looking for in a post and what do you think motivates you most to make a comment on an article you have just read?

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🙏

QUESTION

"What are the three most essential things you are looking for in a post and what do you think motivates you most to make a comment on an article you have just read?"

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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?

  1. 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

  2. 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 :)

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.

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?

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

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.

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.📏😁

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

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.)

@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.

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.

That's a very arbitrary thing to make a requirement. Almost everyone upvotes their own posts.

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.

Not sure I understand, why wouldn't my account get this exactly? I made posts on POB and got upvotes, I never sold anything.

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".

You put yourself on the list, by earning at least 100 POB as an author, then staking and hodling it. Congrats!

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.

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?

Do I qualify for this airdrop?

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.


Thanks - if not what do I need to do to qualify?

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).

When is the drop then.?

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.
