$MUSIC Token Details
When posting your music on Hive, you can now use the #music #blocktunes #btunes and #tunes tags and your post will not only show up on our new premier front end for music lovers on Hive, but you will also earn the $MUSIC token!
The $MUSIC token rewards pool was launched on October 31, 2022 at 4:20pm Pacific Standard time.
There are a total of 420,000,000 $MUSIC tokens that can only be earned by the Proof of Brain consensus, which is posting your music using the above mentioned tags or directly on our new front end!
There were no pre-issued tokens prior to the start of the rewards pool, so those who use the platform are the ones that will earn the first issued tokens!
21 $MUSIC tokens are set to be issued to the rewards pool every 2100 seconds.
How to Earn $MUSIC
The $MUSIC token is earned through the Proof of Brain consensus. This means that people who use our front end and any of the 4 activator tags will earn some $MUSIC tokens.
Those who engage with posts on BlockTunes through voting and commenting will also earn $MUSIC tokens!
Another way that people will be able to earn $MUSIC will be to delegate HIVE POWER to the
Mint And Purchase Music NFTs with $MUSIC
Musicians can get whitelisted on our upcoming NFT marketplace on our new Hive Engine front end and start minting NFTs with the $MUSIC token. Fans and collectors can then come and purchase those NFTs with their own $MUSIC tokens!
So you get to earn $MUSIC so you can buy and collect music!
Fees from minting NFTs will be sent back to the
Staking $MUSIC Tokens
Staking the $MUSIC token doesn't earn you more $MUSIC, it earns you SWAP.HBD rewards that will be paid out directly to your wallet on a daily basis. These funds represent a percentage of the revenue that is brought in by BlockTunes, through posting, curation, commissions from NFT sales and sales from the store as well as BlockTunes PRO Artist and Release service submission fees.
These rewards will begin to be distributed starting January 1, 2023. This allows us time to rebuild our HBD investments and earn some revenue for the @blocktunesDAO account, which will be the payout account for the $MUSIC token rewards.
Rewards will be calculated from the month prior and divided by 30 to get the daily payout figure. Once payouts begin, stakeholders can expect to see some SWAP.HBD hitting their wallet daily!
Token Distribution
As stated before, there were no pre-issued tokens as the $MUSIC token was launched on October 31, 2022. Those who are posting music using the tags will be eligible for earning tokens!
Tokens that will be manually issued will be those who already hold the $bTUNES token. This token was our BSC-based DAO token, and since we are stopping the use of Binance Smart Chain on our platform, we will be issuing 10 $MUSIC tokens for every 1 $bTUNES tokens that are currently held. These individuals are advisors and early adopters of the platform. This distribution will take place on November 1, 2022. The

The earnings from the initial sale will be used to start and fund at least 1 but hopefully 2 diesel pools for the $MUSIC token.
