RE: So What's the Ongoing Story With Tron (TRX) Rewards on Steemit?
The payout depends on the availability of the corresponding assets.
If the foundation does not provide TRX, none can be paid out. As far as I have been able to get an overview, the payout of TRX rewards is also not defined in the blockchain code.
According to previous statements, there is a special bot for this. I don't know whether it is started manually or automatically when the assets are available.
But since there have often been delays in the recent past, I also wonder whether the TRX Rewards are still wanted by the TRON Foundation. Certainly not without reason the rate was reduced a few months ago...
Thanks for your answer @moecki, I now understand better that this is a reward system that runs separately, even though we seem to "claim" our rewards in the same way as we claim Steem/Steem Power. If the TRON Foundation is less involved in Steem/Steemit than it used to be, I can well understand that there may be reluctance to pay out.
I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens!
The last post from steemitblog announces a further reduction. The positive side of this message could be that the payout is coming soon...
It just looks that way.
The claim operation on the blockchain acts as a signal to the bot to also pay out TRX. The amount of SP claimed is also used to calculate the amount of TRX.
Thanks for the further explanation!
I was happy to see that there was actually a mention in @steemitblog's post.
I just think it is an important part of building a thriving community that there is clear and open communication between the users and those who are keeping the community running... otherwise there is the danger that people will lose confidence and leave.
