[Shipped] Community rewards for contributing to the privacy conversation

[ning]

great questions.

this is quite different from typical airdrops in that it rewards quality engagement (measured by appreciation), not mere presence. some basic badges are simply there to encourage users to ‘learn’ how to use the site. to properly format posts, to tag other users, and so on. not all badges you see will come with rewards - and these rewards will vary considerably depending on what the actions are.

so for using an emoji… not so much. for having a great idea that gets implemented… yes! for creating a helpful tutorial that is top post of the week… yes!

re the spam issue - we’ll address these through the use of trust levels. example: an account with more activity and more engagement will be able to do more than a new account with less. we’ll also implement limitations that discourage ‘spam-like’ actions - such as making multiple consecutive short posts. and of course… users can always help out by flagging to remove spam and spammers

the goal here is to simply kickstart a community that is self-governing and self-incentivizing.

i’ll be putting together a comprehensive list of actions and rewards this week, would be great to have your input.

oh and re darkmode - gotcha. thanks!

Cool @solnce! Those you listed are definitely some of the better ones. The mvp version will do the best with what we have out of the box, and slowly introduce custom ones that are a bit more spam-resistant. Glad you like the idea!

This is a brilliant idea to grow the PRV Incognito for all crypto individuals👍

[JayC]

thank you

Feb update:

The first badges have been designed and are available to view at: incognito.org/badges

@0x123 thank you for your feedback about dark mode! the new icons should show up better now

@solnce i’ve added a few of your suggestions - thank you! more posting related badges will be released in the next iteration once we have set up more robust spam-guards

Next steps: assign rewards to badges and automate reward distribution.

We are on track to launch next week. In the meantime, please connect your Incognito wallet address to your incognito.org profile so you receive PRV when the program goes live!

How to add your incognito wallet address to your profile

Click on your avatar, then click on the gear icon. Select profile, and fill in the Incognito address field.

OR

Replace ‘yourusername’ with your username on the site: https://incognito.org/u/yourusername/preferences/profile

@0x123

You still do “mundane” tasks and receive rewards

Where do you find these tasks and how do you get the rewards?

As a feedback, “Licensed” badge is not clear. At least, I didn’t understand Where should we read?

[Mike_Wagner]

Click on the badge to read a description of the badge and the users who’ve earned it. This works when clicking the text name, the check mark (if you’ve earned a given badge), the badge icon or the member count.

https://incognito.org/badges/101/licensed

Licensed

This badge is granted upon successful completion of the interactive advanced user tutorial. You’ve mastered the advanced tools of discussion — and now you’re fully licensed!

This particular badge may only be available to the Incognito team, mods, admins, etc?

[abduraman]

I already meant that description

hey @Mike_Wagner hey @abduraman - just find @discobot in your inbox and reply to it:

@discobot start advanced tutorial

[ning]

incognito.org/badges - you can read instructions here. i’m still editing them though, and i’ll be adding reward amounts over this week. distribution should start sometime next week.

@ning

the goal here is to simply kickstart a community that is self-governing and self-incentivizing.

I think it’s a really smart idea. People like to be incentivized. People like games. I think it will help grow things a lot faster.

[abduraman]

discobot says " Did you know you can add a poll to any post? Try using the gear in the editor to build a poll ." but I cannot see any gear button other than Preferences button in the profile How can I add a poll? @ning

[ning]

you need to click the gear icon when you are typing a post or response:

[abduraman]

I know that gear icon but it did not appear in the editor this morning. Interesting Anyway, thanks.

[Mike_Despo]

@abduraman

Did you know you can add a poll to any post?

I will be making some of these.

[Mike_Despo]

@ning I used 50 likes yesterday and did not get my “Out of Love” badge. Very sad. I curated my 50 Likes very well haha.
It said I’ve reached my Likes limit and can give no more, but I did not get the badge. Is that an error on my end or the website’s end?

[ning]

hey mike - that’s strange. everything is working fine on this end - did you get this msg:

there are 2 notifications: 1 that says you are approaching the limit, and 1 saying you have reached it (the one above).

not meaning to creep on you or anything but this shows just shy of 50 in the last 24 hours:

https://incognito.org/u/mike_despo/activity/likes-given

on the plus side - it looks like you only need a couple more over the next 10 hours or so!

[Mike_Despo]

Yeah I got the notification that I had reached the limit. Maybe I have a lower limit than 50 because I am still in the low category user. Well… I will complete in the next 10 hours then! I want that badge
