Understanding the point system, point price and earning?

Lately, there have been numerous rants about the point system and payment - frozen points, low points, fluctuating point value, change in wallet balance, and so on.

I have made a couple of short posts about my frozen points and slow point gains. These were not to vent my frustration but to get clarity and feedback from the more experienced users since read.cash made it clear that they won't reply to emails about such.

Note that we don't reply to emails about points or the random rewarder, especially about how it works and why it gives or doesn't give you points (each time we tried to clarify these things people started to abuse the fund)

My eagerness to increase my daily points led me to go on a "how to earn more points" search. After reading a few resources on the point system and other related articles, I was able to come up with this article.

Note: These are my informed view of how the point system and price works and doesn't represent the actual and current system. This might me outdated as at the time you read this or not. The point system is still a mystery, we can only make speculations from observations and resources available to us.

Let's dive in!

How to earn?

Random rewarder. The random rewarder is the way to split the daily payout from the fund. Points are allocated. For active users, it means that every article, every useful comment, every upvote, nearly every action that you do on read.cash, gets you a chance to get a little bit from the fund. Random rewarder is still a mystery but it's fair.

Tips: You can get Bitcoin Cash when someone tips your post, but it happens not very often.

Sponsorship: you also earn through sponsorship deals from other users. Though you won't earn much here, it still adds to the earning.

Affiliate Program. Read cash has an affiliate program where you can earn Bitcoin Cash. This offers commission for signing up other people to read.cash. You get 3% of any spending and earning (including upvotes, boost, sponsorships)  by your affiliates. You also get 10% of any points given to that person by the random rewarder.

How to earn points?

Read.cash uses the random rewarder system to distribute the daily fund. To give out your fair share of this amount, they give out points, and then these points are converted to BCH at the end of each day.

Points - they determine the proportion of money from the fund that a user gets. The fund is funded by donors out of their pockets.

The points will be given for the following:

Articles: Publish something interesting that will stimulate engagement from other users - people will notice you, subscribe to you, upvote you, and the views, likes, and comments on your articles will earn points. A good article should have at least 500 characters.

Comments: Useful comments of at least 60 characters will earn points. Short and one-line comments like "good article" "nice" "lovely information" "This was interesting information, thank you for writing this, I learned something" "Very interesting read, I now know more than I knew before", will likely not earn you any points. They are " useless".

Upvote: upvote of your comment, article, or post by a power user randomly gives zero to a few hundred points.

The points ate deducted for the following reasons:

  • Your article, comment, short post gets hidden/deleted by read.cash site moderators for rule violation: -10 points and cancels the points for the article

  • If you delete an article, a short post or a comment for which you were previously given points - these points will be deducted

"At the end of the day all points earned for the last 24 hours would be burned and the daily amount from the fund would be distributed proportionally to the points. Payment happens as soon as the fund donors go online."

Point Price

Point price is the value of each point accrued on read.cash. This value fluctuates each day, and it's hard to predict. At the end of that day, your points are burned and multiplied by the point price to give your daily earning.

The price of each point depends on the daily spending amount (which is currently around $273) and the total points accrued by all users for the day.

Two days ago before the pledge from @MarcDeMesel that led to doubling of the fund, the average point price was $0.0025. The current average point price is roughly $0.0052.

This value or price can be hard to predict.

How to calculate point price?

Point Price = Spending fund ÷ total points (per day)

Tuesday, 18/08/2020

Current spending = $273

Total points = 55573

Point price = 273 ÷ 55573 = 0.0049

Average Point Price

Tuesday point price USD equivalent= 0.0051

Wednesday point price USD equivalent = 0.0049

Average point price = (0.0051 + 0.0049) ÷ 2 = 0.005

This means that as at the time of this post, the average point price at the end of each day is $0.005.

This value can change with a significant change in total points accrued per day and a change in daily spending fund.

earning per day = point price x points

How many points is equivalent to $1?

If $0.005 is = 1 point

Then $1 = 1 ÷ 0.005

= 200 points

It means that currently $1 is worth about 200 points (give or take)

Things to consider:

  • The more total points participants earn per week, the less price of each point is.

  • The more the amount in the community fund, the more the price per point.

At the end of the day, all points earned would be combined and the amount from the fund would be distributed proportionally to the points. Payment happens as soon as the fund donors go online

Personalized point price

All points are not paid equally on read.cash. Good quality original Authors receive better pay than others.

It means that, writers that create exclusive articles are paid more points than someone who basically copy-pasyes articles and comments all day.

Here, read.cash considers originality, proper language use, and quality engagement.

Get full details here

About balance fluctuation

Why is my earning balance in dollars always changing its value? I had $5.75 in the morning now it is $5.40?

Remember that there are no US dollars on read.cash

read cash display Bitcoin Cash amounts at the current US dollar exchange rate, so today it might seem like you have $1.00, but tomorrow it might be $0.98 because the exchange rate changed while the amount of Bitcoin Cash you have is still the same

These are my views and I stand to be corrected. There is possibility some details might be out dated or off, please point such out to me and I will make adjustments effectively.

Blockchain powered project is very dynamic and vast , anyone who comes out really as its objectives are going to be successful, read.cash says write good articles that can attract the communities and individuals to part their money in it. That is crux of this venture not just being eager to know how is counting point and earning looks like first. To me , these two things are not different from being automatic. Every wealth creation on read.cash depends on producing valuable articles period.

The one posted in the screenshot and your babsis of the rules, they don't apply anymore and the upvotes you can get is limited now. You're still free to upvote what you want but then it will just end up getting your points frozen, even if it's different users. There's no more power user, i think. Or i just don't observe them enough

And that posted rule on how to earn points is far too outdated. Things have changed since the doubling of values too. You should check the stats

1st of all your math is a bit wrong. A bit. 192-194 points get you 1$.

2ndly as far as I know, they rules doesn't work anymore. it worked previously but after random reward, I doesn't work anymore. Now everything is up to random rewarder.

For example: I have got 10cent upvote and my post got 50+ views but I received no points. I am froze for almost 14 hours and believe me. not even a fraction of points. the point system doesn't work like that way anymore. It's upto random rewarder now. look at my profile and see my last post. 20 likes may be. Should't I at least get 10 pts for that? but I received nothing.

please research a bit. If people sees this,they will become crazy but won't receive anything☺☺☺

How did you come about this figure. You probably used your current earning to get this figure forgetting that what really matters is the figure at the end of the day. More points will be earned which will affect the value you have mentioned

look at my frofole and see my last post. 20 likes may be. Should't I at least get 10 pts for that?

Dude, I knw about power user. But I received tip from a 3 month old user. If she is not power user then I don't know who can be. I received one from telesfor sir. His subscribers are over 400. The system you gave, if I am not mistaken, it was before the random rewarder. But I think people were misusing the facts then like you kbow how to get pts and you can easily set things up. I think they had some problem with that and they decided to change the rules. As far as I remember. I emailed them. They told me the same. But about the point system. No one knows how and when in which methods the points are distributed. The replier said he doesn't know either. It's upto the random rewarder now

The power user update came after the random rewarder. So I still find it hard to believe its outdated unless of course I see a resource that gives such clue.

But I received tip from a 3 month old user. If she is not power user then I don't know who can be. I received one from telesfor sir. His subscribers are over 400.

If you read the comment section of the Power User article, someone asked @read.cash how to know who a power user is, he said its a secret. Also stated that is doesn't depend on how long you have been a user or how many subscribers you have, that even a new user can become a power user. That said, I am not trying to prove you wrong, you could be right, but then, I can't edit what I have published without a proof or resource to give a hint of such been outdated. I really appreciate your feedback and I will do more checks and edit appropriately. I will also appreciate of you share any resource that could help.

I emailed them. They told me the same. But about the point system. No one knows how and when in which methods the points are distributed

@read.cash wrote in one of his articles that, they want to keep how the point system works a secret. If people find out, they will abuse it. He also stated that, they will avoid emails regarding point system, and it works and the likes. So I wasn't surprised to read that the the replier said he doesn't know either. So this goes to prove nothing.

Justsaying

Wow, you made it clear to everyone who keeps on complaining about the points, you are such good in calculating. Your insights are all correct, I guess because I can only agree to all of it. Before the donation fund got double the points equivalent to $1 was ranging to 390-400 points, now that it got doubled it is only 200 points, you got it right. I hope this article will reach out those who are confused about how point system works. And people should understand that Read cash does not make people rich, it is a platform for people who loves to write and by the point system is the compensation of read cash, aside from the upvote if the article is deserving to be upvoted by those who likes the article.

Good contribution from you. Yes you are right, read cash doesn't make people rich, and the earning is only a compensation. Well it's that incentive that brought most users to the platform.

Well, if people including you keep worrying about the points probably sooner you will lose interest in the platform because the point system is subject to change if the developer changes his mind about how to compensate the users aside from preventing those cheaters who are abusing the fund. My advice is that enjoy the platform, the points will come eventually, but know that you cant get a lot of it since as you know points are distributed to all active users. Old users just like me don't care about points anymore we are just here because we love to write and interact with all the writers here.
