Changed Bounty Payments
NOV 27th - A new day, a new pay. The bounty payments have changed. This happened because of the increasing price of the DeepOnion. Which is awesome news! The bounty moderator Bykardinal already announced the change and i want to share this change with you.
Bounty
DeepOnion has a special fund for articles and tutorials. If you write a good article you'll get rewarded good. This motivates people to write good quality articles, which will be seen by outsiders and to make great tutorials explain certain complicated proceedings. It's like a campaign to promote the DeepOnion and almost every campaign has a bounty. Normally the community got a 25 onion bounty payment for each (GOOD) article written and 15 DeepOnions for a good quality tutorial. But a new era has begun. These prices has been changed since the DeepOnion has made another step to the moon!
Prices
The bounties of 25/15 onions were made at the moment the price was $0.40 USD per onion. This would be a total payment of 40 x 25 = $10.00 USD. Now the onion has reached a price of $1.50 USD, this would mean the price of every bounty would be $37.50 USD. Easy money and that's what a lot of people thought. Many members of the community were aware of this bounty. This is why a lot of members wanted to write articles too. Many of this articles had a low quality, not worth the 25 onions. Some members even copied old articles, hoping for a good payment. A big flood of mixed quality articles where posted and requested. This is one of the reasons, together with the increasing price, why the moderators decided to lower the bounty rewards.
Exact rewards
Bykardinal explained to me that the exact rewards only can be told at the bounty payments day. This is because the changing price of the onion. It all depends on the current ONION/USD price. If the Onion is worth $100 USD each, the moderators wont be paying 10 onions for an article (which makes sense). The rewards made a big drop but in proportion with the price hike the rewards are even higher!
NOTE: If there's any copyright music or footage in a video be aware the bounty request can be denied. This didn't happend yet but if there's anything what can be deleted or reported by Youtube or someone else, the request can be denied.
Every Thursday
Normally the payday would take place every Monday. But since the moderators are very busy in the weekend (Saturday/Sunday) the payday is moved to Thursday.The bounty request thread will be opened every Monday till Monday. Keep in mind that the duration of a Thursday is 24 hours. So don't start threads with questions about the payments. Be patient and give our moderator some time.
Please keep up the good work. Keep writing and making new tutorials. Always check the search bar before posting a new thread/article/tutorial. It's a great way to give our great DeepOnion some publicity. But be aware of the quality for a good reward!
Over and out
EDIT: The bounty request thread will show up every Monday If you wrote an article or made a tutorial you can request it there. (It will be checked, so post good quality).
