RE: New Tribe & Token: Verify Your Brain || vybrainium (VYB)

You will not miss the airdrop, because everything required to qualify for the airdrop is already in the past. The airdrop will just fall like rain (or snowflakes) sometime shortly before the rewards pool starts distributing VYB for new POB and VYB posts.

Based on my preliminary calcs, it looks like you will be receiving the max airdrop (2.5%), which will be 25,000 VYB. That means you will have a very sizable upvote power once VYB rewards start being distributed, even if you don't claim additional VYB beforehand via the direct-exchange claim procedure.

For the VYB direct-exchange claim procedure, this is where you have to decide whether to keep your existing POB in it's readily-exchangeable form or whether you want to 'bank' it via the less-exchangeable (for authors) VYB.

If you want to claim VYB with POB, you will either need to purchase POB on the market (then send it to one of the above accounts to receive your VYB back) or power down your POB and do the same with that POB.

One thing I want to make very clear: Powering down POB now, in an effort to claim VYB via the direct-exchange procedure, will NOT affect your airdrop. The airdrop will be distributed based on your on-chain activities prior to 11/13/2021.
