RE: 10 days to VIVA Crown ICO launch and I'm looking for 20 social media addicts
Too bad , as you know im not a social media addict only place I go on is steemit ! Thanks to my sons telling me about it 9 months ago ! The initiative sounds great , and would be a good way to learn more about these different things available and ways of earning and learning !! Im such a noob ! Best of luck to you , you definitly have the drive to succeed and you will !! 👍😊
Don't give up on VIVA yet @karenmckersie
Having exchanged some of my STEEM for VIVA was probably the fastest and easiest transaction I ever made. We're also waiting until after the ICO but I've already ordered my Mastercard so I can pay bills and spend on groceries with VIVA. As I mentioned, it's not intended to replace cash as we know it, but to easily integrate cryptocurrency. PLUS once the worker nodes are available, you need to abscond with one of your son's computers and earn for your retirement fund! I really hope to see you poking around in the chatroom to say hi. We have a lot of people there who will answer any of your questions about it. :)
If i can ever find time to learn more about it i will try ! Im busy dealing with government crap trying to get the death bennifits , pension fund from my deceased husband who passed away last march ! I had no documents or id ! As i have didnt see him nor did my sons in 24 years , so i basically raised my sons with the occasional comonlaw guy that also turned out to be crack /cocain addicts . Ive been at this since September , just waiting for a birth certificate of his now to finalize , its giving me an ulcer and very stressfull , not sleeping good at all , but when its over it will be all for the better ! I may finally get reinbursed for all the years he never gave me a dime ! Thanks again !😊👍
Well I know where my next AR is going.
Awe thanks so much , even though i dont understand much about it , i thank you for your kind reply ! Its much appreciated 😊👍
An AR or award right is a sort of gift that crown holders can give to bless the lives of others. The intent is to provide an amount of money that is useful if not life changing.
You see VIVA has a Subjective Proof of Work system, kinda like steemit's upvote thingy. Only instead of upvoting content, you upvote people (although you can cite a reason including content if you like.).
Everyone's upvote is worth the same amount of money in dollar terms. Ideally I want to see this around $1.00 but there are a number of factors that go into that value and right now it's looking closer to $0.10
Anyways, just like steemit, VIVA has a place where people hold funds when they're in it for the long haul.
In steemit we call this powering up. In VIVA we call this the VLP or VIVA Liquidity Pool. Unlike steemit, the amount of money you have, has no effect on the dollar value of each of your votes. It just determines how many votes you get each day.
There will be many people who never even bother to vote and many more who will never use their full allotment. Example 100 Crowns would make it so you could upvote once a minute for 24hrs and still not run out of votes.
Because we each have a fixed number of votes and not all of them will be used, rather than let them go to waste. Unused votes are thrown into something we call an "Awards Pool".
Every Crown Holder has the ability to issue an "Award Right" or "AR" to any person, for any reason. This award right, gives the recipient a claim to a chunk of the awards pool, proportional to the total number of ARs they receive as a fraction of the total ARs issued.
So for example, you were given 1 AR and 9 other people were each given 1 AR there would be a total of 10 ARs and when we close the books for the quarter, 1/10th of all the excess, unused votes are awarded to your liquidity pool account and since you are an AR recipient, you can draw that down immediately.
Now the thing to keep in mind. VIVA strives to give a living wage to every participant whether they are a Crown Holder or not. That means that when your VLP is in drawdown or retirement mode, you are given 24 VIVA each day. These are debited from your VLP account and credited to your current account, thus you can think of the VLP as similar to an annuity.
Since we do our level best to make sure that VIVA is always trading at it's proper peg, that means each person who is in retirement mode, receives $5.50 * 24 USD or $132 USD daily to their account. We can't guarantee exactly $5.50 but we can force it to trade within a range by controlling the rate at which new supplies enter the system. So some days it may be worth $5.00 and others it may be worth $6.00 and it's up to you to decide when the time is right for you to cash that out and how. Either way you get your 24 VIVA, the network is built specifically for that function.
What we're trying to do here is to balance Fiscal responsibility with Social Responsibility and I think we strike a nice balance.
Sounds very complicated like steemit but very interesting ! Im intrigued and very grateful ! Thanks for the awesome reply i will read it again as its much appreciated !👍💙😊
You're welcome and remember, driving a car is complicated until you actually do it a few times. Then it comes naturally and like @merej99 said, you don't have to know how the car works to drive it. Just how to work the gas, break, (clutch) and steering wheel.
Haha ! And if its an automatic , even better lol ! Thanks again !👍😊💙
