@xeroc @mint chocolate chip yes it is. and id gladly distribute brownies to you if you can give a general idea of the hours spent working...I am mostly doing this to help out and generally try to get a number of hours figured out for me so i know that it is not my bias deciding. obviously, however, I hope those who are telling me the hours they worked are doing so transparently here in this thread and also that the other brownie holders are not being undercut for the work theyve done. it is largely a big and thankless job...but im doing the best i can with it to help our community and those who have chosen to directly contribute to bitshares rather than sit back, work extra hours to buy more stake.
That said, I guess the definition of "work" is different for different people. For someone in the position 38ptswarrior is in...everyday life probably seems like a heck of a lot of work, which is likely why such a sum was chosen by him in terms of hours worked.
@xeroc, i believe you have been severely underpaid for your work. Please consider my request to 38 to have beeen extended to you as well.
Thanks for you kind words. However, I never actually wrote down my hours and
won't ask for any compensation for work that I did back when I "worked for the
fun" and was mostly curious to learn the tech and some coding languages. Calling
it "severely underpaid" doesn't fit in my case IMHO since I WANTED to do what I
did not because of any compensation. I wouldn't dare asking for more brownies
though I would gladly take them.
You should also note that I do have an agreement with CNX since September this
year and get compensated not only for my technical support but also for
documentation and all kinds of development that are Graphene/BitShares related.
During the last years, I have received a lot of trust and new friends among this
community and that is motivation enough.
Thank you for being open, and well said!!
#sharebits xeroc 1 HIGHFIVE
If I launched a business (or became a billionaire), it would be very convenient to have a list of active community contributors to sharedrop on & honor. Sharedropping on BTS ignores those who have small stakes yet contribute in ways whales can't or won't.
I have no idea what Dan had in mind for brownie.pts... but the community uses it for recognition/reputation, and if it continues to be used going forward, you deserve a healthy share.
Right now brownie.pts feel like bitcoin... a great experiment that opens your eyes to the possibilities (and so far, it's the best we've got) but its weaknesses are coming to light. So we should either clarify the rules (since BM won't, and the community hasn't) or to change focus to new & improved social currencies like Tuck's.
For one, it is important to recognize that the value of everyone's contribution is not equal.
Some people create more value per hour than others, so 100 BROWNIES/hr for any skill level might not be logical.
One solution to this is to continue to use brownies for tracking hours, but having each brownie holder publicly declare/defend their hourly rate (e.g. $10/hr, $50/hr). In this sense it is perfect to give 360,000 brownies to 38ptswarrior, as long as we are all honest about how much value we generate per unit of time...
Sharedroppers would use the public "pay rate" data as a per-account multiplier. BUT they should have the liberty to adjust anyone's hourly rate as they wish. So if I thought xeroc was too modest with 50K brownies @ $50/hr, I could bump it up to $200/hr for the purpose of a custom-tailored sharedrop.
A benefit is that fuzzy could stay out of the politics of judging pay rates and simply confirm that someone's claims of hours are reasonable.
