RE: Why I bought TASK tokens and a Special TASK for YOU!!!
Dear @ironshield
I like that you're thinking about preventing inflation. I can easily see this platform being popular between all people looking for task, as Steemit is full of people trying to earn some $$$.
The problem I forsee is lack of those who would actually need someone to do job for them. And even if they do - why couldn't they pay in STEEM?
Those are serious questions. After all it does look like most TASK tokens that would end up being burned would be those tokens required while creating new task. That wouldn't create that much demand.
So one more important question: what about supply? would it be increasing or would supply be fixed?
ps. Would you also plan to launch your own tribe with your own front-end? Or would you rather avoid doing that?

Thank you for your thoughtful comment and questions. I would direct these questions to @heimindanger, the Creator of TASK.

Current supply is around 100K. Most of it is inside the @curator distribution bot currently. I plan to keep the circulating supply as low as possible. Basically I'm gonna print to the distribution bot whenever it runs out. BUT, the way I coded the pricing function, the burns should be more or less equal to the prints, so the supply shouldn't evolve too much. Probably if some people hold the token and don't let it circulate, the supply will have to grow, but that's absolutely not the concept, I don't want to have a 50M market cap on this, I just want a tool to be able to coordinate efforts of the community. Oh and yeah the max theorical supply is 500B, so even if we'd burn 1M TASKs per day, you'd live long enough to not see the end of the token.
Why would they pay in STEEM if you can pay in TASK? Converting TASK to STEEM takes 3 seconds! Also there would be no possibility of hierarchy system with STEEM. Here I'm sure to have active TASKers in the hierarchy, doing the verification tasks, and making sure the website runs fine.
TASK isn't a tribe, it won't focus on proof-of-brain. It's just a token you use for quick daily earnings, or if you have TASK ideas to give to others you can pay them to do it. I agree the hard part will be finding people willing to burn TASK to create jobs, but I find it already worth it for DTube. I paid about 3-4 STEEM to try it out to get contents on DTube's social pages and it seems to work pretty well. I think Medium/YouTube/Twitter type tasks work really well for the current price.
But I have great hopes that other people find new types of interesting and worthwhile tasks. Just find an idea, and put it as a Custom Task. Feel free to try it with a lot number of repetitions for a test...
Dear @heimindanger
I would like to thank you for your kind and valuable comment. I wasn't aware that you're behind this project.
We had some clashes before and I'm fully aware that I upseted you with my memos in the past, however I hope we can forget about those days and move on. I really will keep my fingers crossed for your project. It does look like you did think it through.
Again, appreciate your time.
Yours
