Didn't get the automation done this week
I really wanted to get the weekly payments automated for those people who are either holding GLD token or delegating to 
In addition to that I'm very seriously thinking of reworking the payout scheme. My original thought was that I would like serious GLD supporters to delegate HP to the curation account and hold GLD token. Then I thought a little deeper.
What if a new user didn't choose 50 HP and 50% liquid HIVE. What if they chose 100% HP? Then I thought harder. The 100% HP option actually is the strongest support for HIVE blockchain but leaves nothing to buy GLD tokens. I would be punishing those who wanted to fully support HIVE by keeping all rewards at HP
Then I thought further. Now that $SURGE doesn't pay out weekly HBD distributions and now that you cannot choose HBD as a payout for posts how could someone setup a passive HBD income stream? Well, GLD is backed by and its distributions are funded by HBD savings so I could change their weekly distribution to HBD (or GLD).
I continued to think about the boost for active users. That part I really like but then again what about people are designers are don't post regularly but work behind the scenes to keep things working.
End result:
There have been no changes this week. Everyone got paid and this time I decided to include a little more information in a table instead of a screenshot. That was a mistake, I had to format that entire table by hand (ugh).
In the future?
I'm leaning towards:
- automating the payout structure to give daily rewards
- Having delegators paid in GLS tokens (tradeable 1:1 on hive engine)
- GLD holders being paid in GLD (tradeable here at fixed 100 GLD : 1 HBD rate)
- Make NFT's which can be purchased with GLS or GLD that pay regular distributions without looking at the active days for those who want to participate but without needing to post.
All subject to me having time to get things done of course.
New GLD Holders
Going down the list there were three names that stood out to me.
-- Still holding GLD coin even after distributing rewards for the Dragon Rampage contest. Thanks. Appreciate it.
Thanks guys. Appreciate everything you do. Also FYI the GLS tokens you were sent can be cashed out 1:1 on hive-engine.
This weeks payout table.
This shows who delegated and who held GLD tokens. Payout is less as inactive days decreases and increased considerably for those who both delegate and hold tokens... which is why
