Hot of the Bux press:
THE BETA REWARDS PROGRAMME IS COMING!!
Excited to be able to give you guys a sneak peek of what is coming for the Beta Rewards Program in just a few weeks time.
The team and I are super aware that the OGs among you have invested huge amounts of time and effort championing the Network over many years… and now, with some lovely new (yet still very very early) supporters starting to come on board it’s time to get our launch count down underway.
Our beta testers will be a critical element in the first stages of this tangible, scalable, valuable network going live … helping deliver Autonomi to people all over the world is not a small thing and therefore it’s only right that those participating, should be directly rewarded for their effort, their time, and their computer resources …
How does it work?
Well, you’ll want to pay attention to three things:
- How soon you can get involved
- How much resource you can supply to Autonomi by running nodes
- How many new people you help to run a node
It is these three things that will determine the level of rewards you will be able to earn.
(for those not totally up to speed with what we’re doing here, nodes are not sold, they are simply run in order to take on the work that’s needed for Autonomi to thrive).
What can you earn?
As part of the Beta Program you will be running a node, and by doing so, offering some of your spare computer resource to the Beta Network, and by doing that … earning beta test tokens (some people like to call them chocolate coins which reminds me of Christmas Stockings …).
The Beta Programme will be different from that of our usual test nets -in that the only way for participants to access/earn test tokens will be by running a node/nodes. Thanks to telemetry on the Beta Network, we will be able to keep track of your earnings with a leaderboard, and reported stats being shared with you. The higher up you finish on the leaderboard, the more your share of the (very significant) prize pool will be - your portion of it will be sent out post network launch in October.
What else can you tell me?
With the tide all boats are able to rise - that’s been the spirit and driving force of David for a long time, so as a nod to that and all things wonderful in nature (if you are new to Autonomi, you might want to ask about ants …), people will need to catch the ‘waves’ …
The first wave will include 175 participants, a big - nice one! - to this group, you were early to raise your hands, so not only will you have less people in your pool … you will also have access to reach a special target.
You will be able to work together to swell the ranks of node operators to 1000 participants, if that target is hit then your reward Wave #1 rewards pool will be doubled!
Anyone new joining will have a chance to participate in ‘Wave #2’, until it is full, at which point they have to wait for ‘Wave #3’.
There will be more reward mechanics and incentives released as we go, but our first 3 waves of Beta Node Operators will also be granted, among other perks, early access (and meaningful rewards related) to our AI DApp - which will be revealed later this year, as we look to showcase and help ‘end users’ discover Autonomi!
Think that I should probably draw it to a close there, but will end by saying that we’re all truly excited to ramp things up, and for @everyone to see the outputs and benefits of the work the team has been putting in.
Hi lurkers!
