I can see a use for Brownie Points. If you have some BPs you can sent them to others on the forum that help/support you as a 'thank you'.

I wander if anyone has sent some Brownie Points to bytemaster as a thank you.

I'm deleting this post because I find it hard to state my opinion without negativity emanating from every key I press. That isn't good for the project.

We wouldn't want to ruin the poetic circle jerk forming in this thread would we?

You guys do realize the origin of brownie points is from brown nosing.

Incorrect. I assumed from brownies the kid's organization for girls but even that doesn't seem correct.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownie_points

I've been keeping my mouth shut and watching instead of asking for some (never have been one to ask for things--I prefer to be gifted).  But to those who are here giving me credit thank you. 

Please never forget those like JoeyD and Gamey who were here from the beginning helping edit and give transcripts.  Also aj, riverhead, jabba, clains, testz, cass and tuckfheman who are all joining the beyond bitcoin movement.  And of course people like Thom who join us nearly every mumble session and are basically a part of this movement by their actions if not their labeling.

As far as this idea goes...I like it as both a social experiment and a means of trying to create what some might call a circle jerk while others would say it is a person's choice to give tokens with the potential of having them become valuable. 

Maybe it is up to us to make them valuable in our own way?

Thanks for running this giveaway, my major contribution are as follows:

* been running a delegate for bitshares, under my delegate id "kokojie", with 25k+ blocks produced so far

* spreading bitshares awareness on bitcointalk forum, for example this thread with 35 pages of replies and 23k+ views on bitcointalk.

* reporting bugs on price feed scripts

You could send the brownie points to my "koko" account. Thanks

I organize a local meetup in the SF Bay Area/Silicon Valley.. (Bob Maloney helps organize and Robrigo set it up and paid for it)
It's a great way to reach out and we have 67 members (#2 out of all Bitshares meetups) in our very short existence!  We can be a Silicon Valley hub and gradually influence the many Bitcoin users to join the Bitshares ecosystem.

Also in terms of an automated tracking system, how about detecting all the +5% in a post and try to encourage everyone to use it more frequently on threads to give others Brownie points?

Good to see Fuzzy mentioned.

Let's not forget Thom:

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,17183.0.html

Both do great things regarding the constructive questioning and criticism to help protect the ethics and goals of Bitshares, while remaining positive and pro-Bitshares.

Cryptonomix would probably be well served to add them as liaisons to the rest of the community.

It's great reading this thread. It goes to show just how much this community cares about this projects succsess and the efforts that are put in behind the scenes that are taken for granted.

 +5% You can't help but be inspired by the often selfless contributions of so many.

I found out about BTS last August or so and subsequently bought quite a few around .00006, 7, 8. (Ouch). I haven't sold any and quite the opposite have tried to increase my stake. I was a full member under the username Turkeyleg until I got disgusted with some rude members and quit the forum.  I proofread some stuff for AJ a few months ago, but otherwise just evangelize BTS to my local friends and family.

I'm not sure if that warrants any b.pts but my BTS ID is Turkeyleg if it does.

Thanks,

It's great reading this thread. It goes to show just how much this community cares about this projects succsess and the efforts that are put in behind the scenes that are taken for granted.

Here is what I've done to help with what/when I can....

* Mined PTS, Donated into AGS and gave any constructive critisism here on the forums.

* Made the BitShares Tri-Fold Brochure for community distribution. These are still being used today as far as I know...
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,15169.0.html

* Currently working on this flyer for Greece crisis handouts for mf-tzo...


* Created and Maintianed this DEV chat thread up until Beyond Bitcoin created it's website...
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,10616.0.html

and here at Bitcointalk forum...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=861047.msg10531495#msg10531495


* Editing and Release the weekly Beyond Bitcoin Hangouts (DEV, DELEGATE and BONUS).
This takes the bulk of my time. It easily takes 4-8hrs to edit each 1hr hangout (depending on peoples mic quality).
I've currently been working on the new Intro music/voice production for these recordings.
I've been doing this since last year.
So I'll let you do the math for hours I've spent :)

* I've also been working on some other projects for print and educational. With the 2.0 announcement, these have been put on hold until final 2.0 info rolls out or at least more concrete.





Thanks Dan for doing this!!! 

btw, if you run out of BROWNIE.PTS to hand out, I'll gladly take POT.BROWNIE in lieu of  :P

Bytemaster, I bet you have more important things to do than tracking who earns your favor. If finally the BROWNIE.PTS will have real value (by being sharedropped upon), then their distribution should be quite fair and systematic, otherwise it will only be a dividing factor later. If BROWNIE.PTS do not have value, then I wonder why you would take so much time trying to evaluate who deserves them.

Is Ags/pts a dividing factor? Early comers / early adapters take a bigger risk. Why should they not profit more?

That said i still think this is an experiment.

I don't know how one with some many things on his plate could possibly take on a new experiment whilst not getting paid properly?

I think I have sent some BPs to everyone who has posted in this thread with a BTS account name.   

I am really amazed at how much people have been doing, so much more than I could ever track or value.   

I think you forget us BM ...  :-[ :-[ :-[

Here is our post :

BitShares French ConneXion is kind of new in this community but we've acheived to :

Build a web site to give information in french about BitShares
Translate BitShares 101 in french and give it for free in our web
Translate some articles we found interesting
Translate the infographic, triflod, flyers, ...
Produce our own articles for newbies
We are actually creating a YouTube channel with tutorials for anything related to BitShares. We'll try to have it in the 12 more widely spoken languages.

So far it was all made on our free time and passion for BitShares.

Much more is coming ;)

If our contribution merit some brownies, we'd love to have some

Sorry!   BPs sent your way, thanks! 

Thanks BM !

BTW, I think it's a great idea ! Maybe you could create a post to collect ideas on how to manage/reward these coins. There is a lot of Dpossibilities ;)

The forest is being blocked by all them trees. You guys seem pretty sharp so I'm sure you can clean off your anger smeared glasses for a minute to see the bigger picture buried in metaphor.
