There have been some exciting changes in the last few days, we now have PAL coin our brand-new token and also PALNet.io which is a Nitrous instance of Condenser. For more information please read the PALnet White Paper or a simplified version here.

You may have noticed that we closed our Community Upvote channel a few days ago as we are moving to a new system of rewards. Previously, registered members could type a command and recieve an upvote from the minnowsupport account. The new system is ready to go so here are the details!

How it works

As you will recall from our White Paper Palcoin Launch: A revised whitepaper and token launch by the Minnow Support Project this token offers multiple features:

Token Redemption (sinks)

Tokens can initially be redeemed for 1 of three things: upvotes, advertisements, and customizations.

Upvotes - The main account, @minnowsupport, currently allows anyone in the Discord community to use a command $upvote, and receive a low percentage vote on a post. After a year of trying to manage this we're still concerned that it leads to low quality posting. We'd like to continue to encourage posting, but we're attempting through this process to increase the quality.

Going forward users can exchange palcoin they receive for upvotes from @minnowsupport. The ability to store and use PALcoin later decreases the need to burn votes on a timer, which puts pressure to put out content on a schedule rather than when quality content is written. The goal remains the same of getting new users and active discord community members to post, but this approach we think will incentivize higher quality content.

A portion of the tokens received by the voting bot will be used to offset new inflation. A portion of the tokens will be distributed to delegators. To clarify, any SP owned by minnowsupport is stored to be issued as inflation instead of issuing new tokens. Any SP delegated to the bot will receive a portion of the daily PALcoin earnings relative to the percent on the bot.

Things to Know about the New Service

How to redeem tokens for Upvotes

You have 3 options

1. Steem-Engine (using Keychain)

SE upvote 1.png

In your Steem-Engine wallet you will see the icon to send your tokens as seen in the picture above, click this.

SE upvote 2.png

In the TO field type minnowsupport, the amount can not be less than 1PAL. In the memo add The URL of the post you want upvoted

SE upvote 3.png

After you have filled all the fields and click send, Key Chain will ask to confirm the transaction.

SE upvote 4.png

As you can see in the picture above you will receive a confirmation message of the operation and you are done!


2. From Your palnet.io wallet

Go to your wallet in PALNet.io (palnet.io/@YourUserHere/transfers) and in PAL balance there is a down arrow. Clicking this will open a dropdown menu. One of the options is "Transfer", click this.

It will show you a window, fill in the required fields as follows:

And then confirm it also with Keychain (if you are using Keychain to login to Palnet.io) and you are done!


3. Using Keychain

This option is very handy as you can do this from the extension and it doesn’t matter what web page you are browsing at the moment.

You just click the extension, then Token on the bottom left corner.

You will be able to see the confirmation message at the bottom of the extension (see image below).

It doesn't matter what method you use to transfer your PAL Coins, you can always can check your history in your palnet wallet.

Final tips

  • Please note that the @minnowsupport account has no staked PAL which means the upvote delivered will only earn you steem/sbd rewards.
  • You will not receive any PAL coins and this won't help you trend on palnet.io! Use the palnet promote feature if that is what you want!
  • If the bid window is full, your request will move into the next window. If that is also full you will be refunded.
  • Do not send posts over 3.5 days old!
  • Please remember that 1 PAL is the minimum and don't forget to include your URL in the memo
  • The minnowsupport moderation team reserves the right to mute any accounts repeatedly using this service on low quality/effort posts
  • Muted accounts will have future vote purchases refunded

I seriously need to get PAL token. Well done, guys.

Can you share already what is the value of an upvote for 1 PAL? How will this be calculated?

To view or trade BEER go to steem-engine.com.

Hey @steemmillionaire, here is your BEER token. Enjoy it!

I need some beer please!

Posted using Partiko Android

"Try and observe the result" could be the answer? 😜

Cheers & !BEER 🍻

Hey @steemmillionaire, here is your BEER token. Enjoy it!

PAL paid to the bot is distributed back to the delegators. Consider delegating if you'd like a steady supply of PAL.

So finally you can sell upvotes!

Im so glad

Yeah, and it took less than a week! So much for doing things differently or better. Just clone, rinse, and repeat here in cryptoland.

Well it is a proven model isn't it :(

Parece más de lo mismo, ¿no? Creí que iba a leer algo en relación a cómo iban a hacer para premiar el buen contenido, para batallar contra el spam...

Eso nunca ha estado sus planes, desde el principio es una trampa caza bobos para acumulumar proxy votes y que la gente delegue bajo la excusa de hacer crecer a los pequeños...

Ahora bien, ¿no te parece que se podría hacer algo como esto pero con ese fin? Lo que imagino es una suerte de Steemit paralela a Steemit en el propio Steemit (en eso tal como lo ha pensado Palnet), pero que busque ser la parte verdaderamente social y sana de Steemit, que entre otras cosas no se peudan usar bots de voto, que se fiscalice allí el contenido y los usuarios para evitar las malas prácticas, que se incentive a leer y comentar... Incluso se podría ver acaso la manera de que la ganancia incorpore esto de la cantidad de votos obtenidos (los cuales deberían ser manuales, claro, nada de bots)...

How much portion?

Proportional to the % of delegated stake.

Thats cool..i will have to delegate.

Will distribution take place on daily basis or weekly?

It's weekly while PAL does not reward decimal values.

Delegated PAL or SP?

How do we delegate PAL if that is possible?

Only SP, as @minnowsupport is not intended to reward in PALcoin.

Am I correct in assuming this doesn’t affect votes from minnowsupport that come from delegation? Just the old upvote not that was in the discord server?

wow super updates, weldone all pal team

This is a really amazing project. Thank you so much for the project. I am very happy.

Good idea !

This will be like the old system but you can trade your coins instead pf waiting every 30 hours? This will be a problem since I struggle to earn.

Posted using Partiko Android

We have implemented many faucets (ways to earn) specifically for this. Don't like to post? You can curate to earn rewards. Don't like to post or curate? You can chat in the PAL Discord to earn. Don't like to post, curate, or chat? You can purchase and stake either the PALM or PALMM mining tokens to mine PAL passively.

I like to post but my posts don't earn. They go unnoticed.

like all posts in steemit that are not about playing or promoting dapps.

Hola como hago la mineria de palm

So how big of an upvote can 1 PAL get us ?

Minnowsupport votes at $2.72 every 2.4 hours. If the round isn't full it'll do a partial round and caps you're earnings at 10% gain from the vote also makes sure your vote isn't at a loss of more than 10%.

What reference price for PAL is being used to set the +/- 10% range?

last? bid? ask? 24 hr volume weighted average price?

So basically you can get lucky and earn 10% or be unlucky and lose 10% or you get something inbetween.

Very helpful post and maybe a chance for me to get a grip on how to use these tokens. Thanks very much @minnowsupport, much appreciated :)
