Interesting. There are people in that list that haven't posted here in a very long while, perhaps that should be taken into account as well. In doing so it also should be considered what the quality of such "dormant" accounts were when they were active.

To base your giveaway on this forum alone will be a challenge. Can you programmatically and fairly assess the quality of a forum account? Number of posts, avg. post length, frequency of posts, time active on forum (last active date - join date) are all quantitative metrics you could employ to come up with a weighting factor.

You could also factor in who contributed to the biggest topics, or the most important topics, which may not always be the topics with the largest number of posts (but those would probably have to be manually determined). Perhaps noting which topics BM started or contributed to (there are many he does not participate in, dare I say most?) and assigning a higher weight to people that post in those topics could be a useful metric.

Most of this analysis could be done with SQL queries. It's a matter of how much time you want to put into the assessment. For a time bitsaphire was publishing the mysql database of this forum. Is that still available? Might be kindof fun to play with these ideas on actual data. I am the admin of an SMF forum for a small community so I am quite familiar with the SMF DB structure and quite adept at creating queries to mine data. I did that for several years professionally for a web based financial planning application.

Now if only there were a way to vote with our stake in a social media chain on posts we find valuable.  hmmm

.7 Brownie per post will have to do for now I guess, until then.  : )

Make a faucet that drips them to that exchange that is voting against development as long as they point their proxy to zeroc

That defeats the purpose of Brownies as a n appreciation tokens from BM. you need to EARN them, one or the other way. IMHO just creating an account is not worth it.
Also, take a look what happened with QBITs, people squattered the blockchain with accounts to sell their free QBITs. Not gonna do that with brownies

why do you think we gave them to you?

I received a fair share of BROWNIEs and the others are meant to be given away. The means of doing so are open for discussion

Just my thought...
I don' t necessarily agree with the 1 Brownie per forum post.
It's just due to the fact that  A LOT of people abuse the %5, which counts as a individual post which doesn't necessarily mean they deserve to accumulate more Brownies than another community member that has been active and productive.

Agrees. But I'd say that a) most people in the least used +5% almost uniformly and I don't think that there is a user that made 300 posts only with 5% in them.
Also keep in mind that 1 BROWNIE is worth ~2BTS which is less than $1c.

IMO, is there a way to split the Brownie by forum "tenure". 
Maybe 1 or 2 Brownies per registered day?  Is there a way to get this metric??

Since 1BROWNIE < $1c, I don't think that's worth the time.

anyways, you could use a combination of post count / register date to make it fair

Tell me, how does that make it more fair?

this is exactly why the perception of this community is that we are all
a bunch of spamming ass kissing pumpers who post incesst +5%s
continuously without valuable substance.

This actually looks like a targeted effort to bury all the hard work
performed by this community in a mountain of spam.

I wonder if the next project is going to launch as a "closed source"
project so that the crowd can fully dissipate before publishing the fact
that BTS changed to "open source" a few weeks later in small print so
nobody would ever know.

I tend to agree, about bad perception and misuse of +5%. Bu I can't
recall anyone really making any money out of this (including the brownie
distribution in this thread). Also keep in mind, someone coming here and
posting a +5% still contributes (slightly) by keeping things alive or
even reading the posts.


Any other constructive ideas for distributing brownies?

Very funny Erlich.  I also thought about all of the times I deleted a post rather than post it because after I read it I decided it didn't add to the conversation.

Every time you did it or though "na, not going to +5%, that's not constructive" you've lost .7 Brownies. ;p

wtf

whose brilliant idea is this

this is just an incentive to spam this tool and make it useless to those who we want to buy our bts

this message board is a tool that is up to all of us to sharpen or spam

come on, ive been deleting my posts for years just to keep this tool sharp and honed.

anyone else care to chat about shit that spams our board to keep the entrepreneurs from effectivly using this message board as a productive tool?
