A lot of accusations flying around lately so I thought I'd make it clear what's up and at the same time maybe encourage more people to help crowdfund our game! (shameless selfpromo as it's launched fairly with no founder/team shares)

@zingtoken curates content, this is mostly done by 1 curator as of now since the game of the project is yet to be launched and activity within the community isn't that great. 

It votes for posts that contribute to the community, whether it being fanart, artwork we plan on using in different ways in the future, discussions about the project, and some smaller votes on random posts about it. 

The size of the vote mostly depends on the effort and quality behind the post and how much we believe you're contributing in genuine ways, i.e. no plagiarism, AI generation, spinning, tracing, etc. Author rewards are never guaranteed, some times we may vote things too low, some times too high and some times we may skip a post unfairly while other times voting some posts that we find out later we should not have voted. That's pretty much the curation-game between author and curator. 

We have a 10% beneficiary set up to the community as stakeholders in the past have mentioned it'd go against the spirit of curation if we rewarded our curators/moderators/abusecheckers with upvotes - in general that's okay for hive communities not related to us and benefitting hive as a whole, but since this is for a specific project that doesn't pertain all stakeholders we understood the difference and accepted to do things differently here. Some projects may give their curators a vote on their post, some may pay them with curation rewards directly. Since curation rewards are however and were for the longest time our main way to fund the project, we decided to do 10% beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are enforced by asking authors to accept it when posting into the community, they go towards @zing.fund and 90% of the time pay the curator - very rarely do we send those rewards to the main project to help its funding. 

Since the game is not released yet, naturally not a lot of posts can be created on a daily basis about it, while a majority are artwork related due to the rich idea behind the game, we make sure not to deplete all our voting power on the community. Even though as you can imagine it'd be in our best interest to spend as much voting power as possible on posts within our community due to the 10% beneficiary, we try not to overreward posts and spend a large amount of votes on @hbd.funder or other related communities such as Hive Gaming if we deem some posts underrewarded there.

What we don't do

and I guess this is important to note due to recent events where I've been involved trying to break up certain vote selling services. 

We don't upvote people based on delegations, meaning going out and voting delegators on random posts, whether they're related to our project or not. They already receive zing tokens for their delegations and that's all they'll get. Naturally this would also be in our best interest to "keep delegators happy" by giving them a vote, but that'd go against curation. Some times delegators may also post about our project but this does not impact how big of a vote we give the author. I had to also ask my curator to stop voting up my holozing own posts so people wouldn't see this as a "double-dip" scenario, even if my post maybe was worth the extra curation from the account. 

We don't accept tokens in exchange for votes. 

We don't curate people based on how many tokens of our project they hold. 

Selfvotes on @holozing give out 90% of the rewards to the comment section.

Lastly, we're all human so there might be certain votes that we subliminally or due to prejudice/other judgements may vote more or less on certain posts/authors - I don't think that's something that can be perfected, but we try to keep hive curation separate from the project itself.

Anyway. 

If you like the idea of @holozing and either think it might outperform hive in terms of value or might bring value to Hive as a whole and your own Hive investment we do still accept delegations on @zingtoken in exchange for Zing and buying our limited supply Alpha Vials which also give you Zing rewards for holding after registration on holozing.com. Then feel free to participate, if not, check out the community/discord and see how things are going, even though things are moving forward quite slow lately as a lot of the funding relies on the price of Hive. 

Thanks for reading! Sending half of the rewards to @zing.fund as we're quite behind on paying our curator. :D 


PS. Forgot to note: We may also vote some @peakd.snaps containers to encourage more usage of shortform content on Hive, this is also done with no self-interest, we aren't actively encouraging our community to snap about the project at this time since again, it's not yet released. 

Recently we also throw some votes on very good @redditshares that bring thousands of views towards our front-ends, at least those the at can be verified with viewcounters (@peakd and @ececny) and how the reddit post did, this also doesn't affect our project in any direct way.
