This is a pretty experimental release.
boost changes
- the highest boost in a territory over the last 30 days is pinned to the top of it
- the highest boost across all territories is pinned to the top of the homepage and rewards page
- all items can be boosted indefinitely
- your own posts and comments now have a flipped bolt (distinguishing them from other posts), allowing you to boost them beyond the edit window
- the job board is now ranked by boost
- territories with an "auction" ranking system (only ~jobs can do this currently), use boost to rank posts in
hot
- territories with an "auction" ranking system (only ~jobs can do this currently), use boost to rank posts in
The hope in general is this serves as a significant revenue source for territory founders.
70% of fees go to territory founders
Previously, founders got 50% of fees in their territories with the other 50% going to the rewards pool. Now, they get 70% of the fees (posts, comments, boost, zap sybil fees) and 30% goes to the rewards pool.
30% sybil fee is taken on zaps
Previously, we took 10% of zaps for ranking sybil resistance. This is insufficient for real sybil resistance. People still sybil zap their own subpar content at 10% so we've increased this to 30%. 10% isn't a whole lot for the outbound route for p2p zaps either.
As always, that sybil fee that's left over from the territory founders revenue goes to rewards.
