I am hesitant to write this one because I fear it will attract the wrong sorts.
But here we go anyways.
Part of PAL inflation goes towards Proof of Interaction (PoI). That means interacting with the community has the potential to pay rewards.
And so I looked at my PAL wallet history and found some deposits for PoI. Since June 13, I've received 42 PAL from PoI. Not too shabby.
At today's prices, that's 18 STEEM for chilling on discord and having fun.
But remember, if you are trying to "mine" the chat the mods will mute you. Rewards for chat, not chat for rewards.
