I'm running a little experiment... The nano.garden faucet!

To participate:

  • Be registered in the nano.garden instance

  • Associate a public nano address with your account in your profile settings

  • Make comments

For every comment the faucet should deliver 0.01 XNO to your account!

There is a cooldown period of 2 minutes between comments and a maximum amount of nano per account set to 0.5 XNO every 24 hours.

This is a very alpha version... Let's see how it goes!

The faucet address is: nano_1ex1zqsdyqc3heiifc9sqc8pd8zmamkp3awgd5gwfejx9teqownw5fxrhgg5

Very interesting idea for a faucet!

Thanks!

As we have seen from the recent Reddit drama, user comments are monetizable and valuable. So it makes sense that users get paid for their contributions! :

Of course, it wouldn't be sustainable for me to personally to pay everyone for their comments forever. And 0.01 XNO might prove to be too high. But the idea is to design a system where everyone who wants can contribute to the faucet pool, and this pool is distributed to the users that participate in the community. So, besides the direct tips that a user might give to a user that helps them, users can contribute to the community as a whole.

But to make the system work there would have to be some good anti-exploit measures that still need to be worked out. I am also interested in learning how to minimize the amount of trust on the person that keeps the faucet's private key.

Do you run a node yet / plan to? Concepts are still simmering in my brain but would like to delegate my receiving account to an associated node, I think that's the direction this type of thing may eventually flow towards.

I am running a node, but it is currently a "non-voting" node and I am using it for processing the blocks for the comment-nano faucet.

Eventually I do want to turn it into a voting node, but first I want to run it for some time to ensure that it runs smoothly.

Concepts are still simmering in my brain

I have been studying nano these past weeks so many of the concepts are fresh in my head, if you need help understanding something I might be able to help!
