I still forget, and have not developed the habit as of yet, but still working on it and a big thanks to both Taraz and Galen for all the support via the tokens. Also I have seen a few comment on how it is a vanity token, yet it does have value, I know cause I have sold some of them trying to boost my HP or to buy other tokens.

This is a really cool chart and I'm a little surprised that the I am Alive folks are using it so wildly lol that was a big shock to me..

Good to see the wide array of different folks using it! I'm interested in how much the mister engagement account has grown through the curation rewards of the effort. Negligible? 

Galen is mister Engage, I can still remember when I wanted to spread Engage tokens but had none hahahah hilarious. G. is a generous person, no wonder he is nr. 1 with this

That was very interesting to see these statistics Asher, and also one thing that I missed before which is that it will only be 1 million tokens in total.

I have also read the comments here and see the sentiment that the I Am Alive Challenge is abusing the token, which I do not agree with.

Before starting to use the token in our Hive Community I talked to you about it here, https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@abh12345/the-hive-engagement-league-cnud3, clearly stating that I intended to use it to reward comments made directly on posts in our community, and reiterating that in this video post which you also commented on, https://peakd.com/hive-196037/@flaxz/o0azogcskev.

So what I do each day with the @iamalivechalleng account is to open up all posts in our Hive Community and then reward meaningful top level comments made by a person with ENGAGE tokens and adjust the amount depending on the quality.

The reason to start using the token is of course because rewards on comments in Hive is broken, you need to be at least half an Orca to sustainably reward comments in Hive and not have it turned to dust.

After buying the token for the project account I also bought enough for myself to airdrop tokens, plus I also bought 1001 tokens for @thisisawesome, and adviced a project I started but that I am no longer running myself to use the token, namely Luke Is Alive.

I have on several occasions encouraged people to keep the tokens so that they can use them to airdrop with themselves, some have listened and others have obviously not.

Many big stakeholders in The CTP Swarm has also started to use the token as a direct consequence of them getting rewarded with tokens when commenting on posts in the I Am Alive Challenge and wanting to use it themselves.

As to the spread of accounts getting rewarded with tokens from @iamalivechalleng then that is all accounts making meaningful comments in the I Am Alive Challenge community, regardless if they participate in the challenge or not, and if you go check the statistics for the community then there is quite a lot of comments in relation to the number of posts, and comment quality is also good, so rewarding quality comments to get more of them is obviously working.

Now that sums up what is going on, so no abuse unless your view of abuse is different from mine, I am not rewarding myself of course.

Apart from just rewarding with ENGAGE I also fund myself the Alive Engagement Contest on the @iamalivechalleng account, where I pick a daily spotlight post each day that anyone can engage with and will then be entered into the daily contest that pay out a 4 week 200 Hive Power delegation to the winner in the drawing each day.

## What Happens Now?

So the question is how we move forward from here, with a limit on the tokens approaching then we need a solution to reward comments.

One thing that could delay this is to go from a cap of 100 tokens per comment to 10 or maybe even just 1.

That is of course just a temporary fix though, any limit of any kind is just a delay.

## Comment Rewards

Before finding out about the ENGAGE token I was drawing up a plan for a blockchain wide Comment Rewards token on Hive-engine to fix the lack of Hive Rewards on comments.

Instead of following a tag Scotbot would just follow all comments on chain.

My idea was 50/50 author/curator split, linear rewards, token issue all to staked and 7 days unstaking period.

Then we need to create use case to increase demand, and my idea was to more or less copy the formula for CTPSB, and make an ownership/governance token where holders own the Hive Power of the account, obviously it would also curate comments to earn curation rewards, and a market maker to keep the price on peg to the increasing value of the HP in relation to the token.

Then a delegator program which would reward HP delegations in Comment Rewards tokens earned from both curation rewards and bought with 50% of earnings in other tokens, and the other 50% staked, and incentive for the owner tokens to delegate is obviously very high since that accelerates the value increase in that token, and all of this has been proved to work with the CTPSB token already, they have APR of the token of over 50%, and a good APR in payouts to HP delegators.

Maybe if you want to do this then you can have ENGAGE as ownership token.

I did not go forward with this since time is limited, funding needs to be created and there might be challenges in setting Scotbot to work with just comments and I am not a programmer, but if you want to use this idea I will give it all support that I can.

It would once and for all solve the problem with unsufficient rewards on comments, it would have a support structure creating demand for the token, and you would have a use case for ENGAGE beyond the airdrops running dry.

So what do you say, do you want to solve Comment Rewards on Hive?

These are interesting stats Asher and I'm pleased to see where I sit on that last chart...The distribution to the most unique accounts. That's what it's all about in my opinion...Engagement and encouragement. 

Spreading them only within a tight *circle* is sort of missing the mark by a country mile in my opinion. Alas, it happens with voting too as we know right? The next thing may be people sending them to their own alt accounts! 🤪 🙄

Anyway, I like these stats posts you do as the blockchain reveals its secrets through them, clears away the mystique and brings clarity. 

Whilst ENGAGE may not have a huge value per se, it's been fun to hand them out and is nice to receive them, if only for the emotional boost. 

Nice work stats-meister.

>There has been no limit to how many tokens an account can issue each day

I could have sworn I read somewhere that there was a daily limit. I thought it was 100 and I'm sure I had a message last week that said I'd reached my limit or something similar. Wrong again! 😂

I just stumbled across this project recently when someone rewarded me with engage tokens. I thought it was so cool I bought some so I could hand them out. I'm really looking forward to seeing where it goes.

I had to think about the last one , what's a unique account 🤔

Thanks for the summary. I may not do that much engagement, but I do try!!!
