We have just launched the new beneficiary system in Utopian.io.

If you delegate to @utopian-io using the Utopian.io Sponsors section, you will be entitled of the 20% of all the author rewards generated on Utopian based on how much you have delegated.

Today we started the new system that pays in liquid STEEM every week, find below the results.

This first round only summed up the posts cashed in the last 24 hours.

First Round Results

Example as a Sponsor

@freedom has received 139 STEEM. This first round only summed up the posts cashed in the last 24 hours. So this amount of Steem is what @freedom will get a day in average, paid out on a weekly basis. @freedom should receive an average 970 Liquid STEEM a week for having delegated 1.2 M Steem Power to Utopian, therefore making an average 4% passive and liquid profit a year.

The amount of STEEM may vary based on the author rewards generated on Utopian.

Example as a Moderator

Moderators share 5% of the author rewards based on how many contributions they review in total. Our top moderator and supervisor @espoem is receiving 12 STEEM for this round, therefore making a weekly average payout of 70 STEEM.

The amount of STEEM may vary based on the author rewards generated on Utopian.

This is Just The Beginning

Our main mission is to bring much more investors in STEEM/Utopian, therefore increasing even more the profits for moderators, delegators/sponsors and contributors of the platform. Delegating now to @utopian-io means committing yourself to the growth of Utopian for your benefit and the benefits of the community as a whole.

7K Contributions Given To The Open Source

From nowhere, Utopian brought 7K contributions to the Open Source world in less than 85 days.

223K Generated in Rewards

Utopian has generated so far more than 223K SBD/SP in Rewards for authors and curators.

As everything in Utopian.io we try to have the decisional process public and democratic.

We have recently announced Utopian.io will donate 500 Steem every 10K generated in curation rewards. Here the original post.

A special thanks goes to @Transisto who has advised a public poll would be necessary also when deciding which charities should receive the donations.

BIWEEKLY

In Utopian.io we make a public discussion every 2 weeks regarding decisions on how to improve the platform, the rules and we will use the BIWEEKLY also for deciding which charities should receive the 500 STEEM donation.

The BIWEEKLY is public and everyone can participate on Discord.

Next BIWEEKLY is scheduled December 23, 4:00PM CET.

500 STEEM Every 10K Generated

At the moment Utopian.io is able to generate this amount of Steem in average every 12 days. Our commitment is to provide a 500 STEEM donation to charities decided during every BIWEEKLY, all the times 10K STEEM have been generated by the curation rewards, this may happen every 12 days like it is happening now or in a shorter/longer timeframe depending on the amount of Steem owned or delegated to Utopian.

500 STEEM For Educational Purposes

As explained in this post 500 STEEM will be used to allow the Utopian Moderators taking a Coursera course they wish to study for an entire year, just for free. We may open this opportunity to all the Utopian Contributors later in time.

This page is synchronized from the post: The Utopian Donation - Charities Decided On a Public Poll

Utopian.io has big missions and one of them is to help under developed countries accessing the knowledge we all have just by being able to use internet and a computer.

Utopian Has Donated 1K USD To ComputerAid

Utopian.io has just donated 1 thousand USD to ComputerAid a UK based nonprofit organisation that has already brought more than 200K thousand computers to under developed countries.

Utopian.io will keep donating 500 STEEM every time Utopian.io is able to generated 10K STEEM in curation rewards, that means at the moment every 12 days in average.

Next charities should receive the donation will be decided on a public poll as explained here.

Utopian Educational Program On Coursera

Utopian.io will also use 500 Steem every time 10K Steem are generated in curation rewards to create slots in the Utopian.io Educational Program on Coursera.

Utopian.io has already created 5 slots, that means 5 Utopian Moderators can already choose the Coursera course they like and study for en entire year just for free.

5 more slots will be created once the above 5 will be taken.

If one day all the Utopian Moderators will have already a course, Utopian.io will give the possibility to Utopian contributors to join the Utopian.io Education Program on Coursera for free.

This page is synchronized from the post: Utopian Is Donating Computers And Educational Programs. 1K STEEM Donated Every 10K Generated!

As you know you can delegate your voting power to @utopian-io or to any Open Source project on Utopian. The voting power can then be used by project owners to upvote their contributors and grow their projects.

THIS IS NOT ENOUGH.

Utopian Delegation Split

Delegation to projects will change completely. Only delegation to @utopian-io will be possible and the voting power split INTERNALLY. Practically project owners will be able to use the voting power dedicated to them, upvoting directly with the @utopian-io account. Sponsors (Delegators) will be able to decide how to split their voting power between different projects. If a sponsor does not do that, Utopian will decide how to split initially. If any voting power remains unused, this voting power will be used to upvote all the contributions not yet voted by the project owners.

Old Delegation To Projects VS New

OLD

As a sponsor you could already decide to give your voting power to different projects on Utopian. The problem is most of the biggest delegators have already delegated their voting power to Utopian itself and it is hard to find other biggest delegators for the many projects.

NEW

Instead of begging the biggest delegators to give their voting power to other projects, we will just use the voting power Utopian already has and split it internally. Sponsors may still want to decide how their voting power should be split but if that does not happen, Utopian will take over and moving the voting power to the different interesting projects looking for growth. Easy as a pie.

Sponsors Still Have Profits

As a sponsor (delegator) does not matter how you will split your voting power, you will still have the 20% of the author rewards generated on Utopian reserved for you and earn liquid Steem every week. Read the details

The Bot Sucks!

Lets be honest, the bot is good when it is about distribution but it is not good when it is about judging quality. No algorithm will ever be able to judge a contribution better than the project owner. The more Utopian will grow the more likely the bot will disappear completely from the system.

Spontaneous Contributions VS Task Requests

It is nice to see spontaneous contributions coming every day, even when project owners did not request for them, but this is not how Utopian is meant to work at the end.

Project owners can use task requests to crowdsource their project by asking contributors for specific tasks to do. The task requests are not yet much used in Utopian and the reason for this is that project owners do not have enough voting power to fairly reward their contributors. By splitting the delegation given to Utopian internally, project owners will have much more voting power they can use and most likely they will be very happy to use the task requests.

This approach will produce:

• Contributions will be focused on what the project owners want.
• The rewards are decided by humans and not by a bot and no one is better than project owners to decide what is a quality contribution.
• Spontaneous contributions will still be voted with the unused voting power, but there are way more possibilities for them to be voted by project owners directly, since project owners will use Utopian more actively.

Moderation

Moderation now is cross-site. This is another important thing we will change in the future. We will still have cross-site moderators, but project owners can pick their own moderators. If a contribution is not being reviewed by the moderators of the project, a cross-site moderator will take over.

Rules will still be applied but only as a general draft project based moderators should use when approving or rejecting a contribution.

When?

The delegation internal split will happen in few days. The new project based moderation will be ready by no longer than 1 month.

Projects That Will Have the Biggest Initial Delegation Split

Sponsors will decide how to split their own delegation to different projects, but from the very first day Utopian will already decide the first split. Sponsors will then be able to change the split if they wish to do so.

- Busy.org by @busy.org will be given 500K. Busy will be able to generate more than $700 rewards a day.

- Minecolonies by @reggaemuffin will be given at least 150K. Minecolonies will be able to generate more than $250 rewards a day.

- Vessel from @jesta will be given 200K. Vessel will be able to generate more than $340 rewards a day.

- Esteem by @good-karma will be given 300K. Esteem will be able to generate more than $500 rewards a day.

Other projects will be given the initial delegation split. Please if you run a project and you want to receive the first delegation split get in touch with us on Discord.

WAIT FOR IT! THE NEW DELEGATION SPLIT WILL BE READY IN FEW DAYS!
