RE: Manna Distribution Went Out!!!! ๐๐๐๐
Thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten to check, even though one of the Manna team is actually in my conscious crypto group! I just checked and see that I got about 87 Manna. Very cool. Now I'm going to go remind my folks to check their balances too.
I've loved the idea of UBI for a few years now, but just never could make the math work in my head. It just didn't seem sustainable. It is cryptocurrency markets that make this have real potential. I'm excited to see where this is able to go.
Here's how the UBI math works. It's a bit more complex than most people think, but it's also perfectly understandable.
Basically, the actual cost is a fraction of what people think it is, especially with the replacement of various welfare programs, reform of the tax code through elimination of various credits and expenditures, and some shifting of funds from existing programs that could shrink under UBI. It's actually entirely sustainable.
It is very exciting. Some challenges but they are working through it.
Good to see that there were tokens distributed. Now they just need to work out some of the kinks in the system.
We will all be happy once they do....they will get it straightened out.
I'm curious if you would mind sharing some of the challenges with me. I've only seen the smooth parts so far. I would like to know what to watch for, given I've put a good number of people onto it.
They have about half the people who gave emails verify. Is that because of their verification process or because a lot of those people simply signed up with their email and lost interest in the 4-6 weeks before the wallets were set up.
There are also people who were in the Ekata wallet system (like me) who havent had their coins transfer over.
And the dashboard is still missing parts of it being activated.
They set a goal of March 1 distribution and they hit that...so that is the positive. Like STEEM, it is no longer a theory...they distributed tokens to anyone who verified...
Now it is time for them to spend the next week clearing up some things....
Nothing major that interrupt the project, just typical technical stuff....snafus in the system.
Ah yes. I actually thought when I was signing up that they made it really not obvious how to complete the process. It's one thing to give your email and verify to the point you can log in. But then you have to know to click through to the extra section to sign up for the actual UBI airdrops with your address. I wonder how many people didn't even realize they never finished the process.
Anyway, as you say, at least it is now something happening, despite there being much to still work out. Thanks for the insight.
A big part of the problem is they didnt complete the process until the wallets were completed so people had to wait weeks to complete.
Like you said, by then they might have even forgotten about it.
Now that some token went out, hopefully we will see some of them verify and add to the pool.
We need more wallets out there to kick off the network effect.
