Hey hey Music & Crypto Lovers - "Unofficial Rank Master" Nicky H here with your April 2021 update on the latest fun and non-official ranks for the VIBES token, aka Music For Life! The "Unofficial Ranks" series aims to provide a monthly update on the amount of tokens you need to stake to reach various ranks, the names of which are always up to the community members to put together.
As Music For Life now enters its second month of the VIBES token, it's time for a little update on how many VIBES you need to stake to get to the next rank! For the latest news on the progress of the Music For Life platform, please check out the post from 
With HIVE Power Up Day yesterday, I've been in the mood to stake a few more tokens and my goal to get to 1,000 staked VIBES may be realised tomorrow which I'm pretty happy with but has that bumped me up the ranks from last month? Speaking of which, last month's post generated a great discussion about the names of the ranks from you all and pretty much all of them are different from last month thanks to the awesome feedback so lets give these ones a go!
| Rank | Staked VIBES Tokens Needed |
|---|---|
| Bedroom Musician | 0.205 (0.137) |
| Street Musician | 2.047 (1.375) |
| Local Star | 20.472 (13.745) |
| Regional Star | 204.73 (137.45) |
| National Legend | 2,047.3 (1,347.5) |
| International Superstar | 10,236 (new rank) |
| Music God | 20,473 (13,475) |
As mentioned, these ranks are "brand new" from the ones first proposed last month, although a few had the word "star" in so thought I'd vary it a little bit, and there were a few requests to add a new rank in between the last two as the gap was quite large. So I propose "International Phenom" to fill the gap and added "Regional Star" as well to expand it a bit but these are open to discussion as always, I'm just the messenger and bringer of fun!
As for the calculations, I've used the current circulating supply of VIBES token, which is always increasing due to the current rate of token inflation, HIVE supply, which is fluctuating too, and worked it from there if you're wondering why the numbers aren't rounded.
The numbers in brackets are last month's amount so you can see just how much it has changed from last month's amounts (posted on 3rd March) to get to the next rank already! Thankfully, VIBES are going pretty cheap at the moment at ~0.2 per HIVE so I have been slowly acquiring some, along with the miners and posting, voting and following dedicated curation trails on the Music For Life site so it's all been ticking along nicely!
Looks like I've got my work cut out to reach National Legend though seeing as the amount needed has gone up about 50%!
Anyway, what do you think about the new rank titles? Where do you stand in these new ranks currently? Let me know in the comments below!
Stake care!
