It’s time to get the kudos flowing and the meritocracy up and running!
What is this about?
For a full download, get the background and discussion here: https://discuss.status.im/t/kudos-rewards-building-the-status-meritocracy/1019.
The smart contract is still being audited, so we’re starting small with a 10 SNT weekly allocation for each person to award to their chosen superstar(s).
What to do now…
-
Navigate to the DApp at https://kudos.statusnet.eth - you’ll be allocated an amount of SNT by each Friday
- Want to know who’s participating? See the list here
-
Think of your Most Valuable Player(s) and send them some kudos to recognise their awesome work
- Search by typing their name in the
Choose Contributor field
- Search by typing their name in the
-
Decide how many SNT you’d like to award them from your total allocatable kudos
- Enter the number in the box
-
Let them know why they’re rocking it
- Leave a comment of praise
-
Hit
Awardto make it rain!- You have until end of the day on Tuesday to award your tokens, they’ll then be burnt if unused
-
Check back in your DApp on Tuesday to see if you got any kudos
(there are no notifications) -
Once you’ve allocated all your kudos, you can withdraw any kudos you were awarded into your wallet
…and then?
Eventually, there’ll be a leaderboard format where you can see the contributors setting Status’s world on fire 
(you!)
We’ll keep allocating you SNT each Friday, and you can keep dishing them out. We’ll send a reminder each time we allocate SNT, so you can remember to access the DApp and make your award(s).
Troubleshooting
Having issues with the DApp?
- Make sure your DApp is connected to mainnet:
- Profile > Advanced > Network > “Mainnet with upstream RPC”
- Check you’re online - if you see a zero balance and can’t select a contributor, there may be a connection issue
- De-select privacy mode if enabled
- Profile > Settings > Browser privacy mode (toggle off)
If you didn’t sign up when the Dapp was in production, your address won’t be on the contract’s registry - ping @rramos /@ceri to be added. You may have to wait until the next award cycle to get some SNT to dish out.
Getting involved
We’re looking for help to give the app a facelift and create a leaderboard UI - shout if you want to help buidl!
You can check out the swarm page with future plans here.
A massive caveat
This is just the start! We’ll scale it from here, increasing the amount of allocatable SNT in circulation over time. Think of it as a meritocratic, peer-driven compensation element, open to all.
– Let’s do this!
