What's up amigos y amigas! Here's a little knowledge drop for ya today.
Have you heard abt Everipedia? It is a decentralized Wikipedia that is being built on the EOS blockchain. They are not doing an ICO nor are they selling any of their tokens, called "IQ tokens". Infact, 100% of the IQ tokens will be airdropped on to the genesis block of EOS which means that if you own EOS tokens (and have registered them) then you will receive IQ tokens for free!
Check out this announcement: https://www.blockchainbeach.com/everipedia-token-delivery-june-airdrop-date/
It looks like the Everipedia team will hold off on the airdrop until the launch of the EOS blockchain.
Here's a very interesting quote from the article:
The most intriguing part of Everipedia, though, is its plans to distribute tokens that will permit people to edit entries on the site. In practice, this means contributors will post tokens along with proposed edits—if the community approves the edits, they get to keep their token and also earn a little more. If the edit is deemed wrong or unhelpful, the would-be editors lose their token.
Giving Everipedia contributors a financial stake in the project is intended to encourage quality contributions, and to discourage the partisan gamesmanship that can sometimes arise on the all-volunteer Wikipedia.
I think this is revolutionary. Rather than trusting an all-voluntary userbase to manage the content for accuracy, now you can have people, basically, putting their money where their opinions are. If you think something is incorrect in an Everipedia page (maybe a topic like "anarchy") and is currently being mis-represented, then you can submit some of your tokens towards getting it corrected. If your changes are accepted, then you are repaid your initial tokens as well as receive a reward from the blockchain inflation (simliar to how Steem pays out content creators). Now, I have no clue how the "community approves" these changes or if there's a time limit on said changes.
Another interest part of the same article is the following:
In addition, Kazemian confirmed that his team will be working with Block.one CTO Dan Larimer on the token economics for Everipedia later this month. This will allow Larimer’s ideas and suggestions, including improvements over blogging and social networking website Steemit, to be included Everipedia’s forthcoming whitepaper.
Whoa....this is big. @Dan Larimer is working directly with the Everipedia team to help them create the token econoimcs and incentive structure to facilitate a healthy community. Apparently Dan has thought about the issues with Steem currently and believes that he has solutions to make things more in line with his original vision. One thing is for sure, you don't want whales being able to influence the next-gen, online encyclopedia like they can currently direct topics and content on Steem.
Check out the initial tweet announcing the airdrop:
Here's the original announcement of the airdrop by the Everipedia team:
And here's another Youtube video on Everipedia.
I'll leave you with this....
I have an "inside source" that filled me in on something. The Block.one (EOS.io) team has raised so much money in their year-long ICO that they are going to companies and offering to buy a portion of their ICO tokens (or all of them in the case of Everipedia) in order to airdrop them on the genesis block of EOS. This incentivizes people to buy EOS tokens now in hopes that the Block.one team is successful, convinces other teams to build on EOS and air drop their tokens to the early adopters. Everipedia may have been the first to airdrop like this, but they won't be the last.
Ok, hope this helps and let me know in the comments what you think about EOS and Everipedia!
In Liberty,
Ashe
Interesting concept. And if @dan is into it, makes it even much more atractive to me. Maybe I shall get even more of those EOS 's.
Thanks for usefull info @ashe-oro
Don’t be fooled into buying tokens just because of an airdrop. However, EOS is a strong one so buy buy buy!
This is some really great stuff. Since they made billions in the ICO EOS can get a lot of creators migrated to their platform. They should try get some solid projects like BAT and SONM migrated. I think EOS will turn to be kind of a blockchain VC firm in a way.
All I need is a good anime streaming platform on EOS. Somebody should make a Netflix killer.
the principle of the distribution of tokens in Euripedia is landmark. If everything turns out, then this will be the trend and handwriting of the EOS
But while Euripedia is the only one, we are waiting for a similar level of projects
This is great news, Everipedia is definitely something to look forward to. With steemit being like a better facebook where you get paid for your post i was sure more of the same would follow. Put your money where your mouth is. Ahaha
exactly, put your money where your mouth is or shut your mouth :P
I think crypto is take over the world..great info to share with us @ashe-oro
Accumulating my EOS positions as we speak 🤑
Hell yeah. Price is right.
Looks like I need to look into EOS. I've been hearing a lot about it already. I'm told it's kind of a hybrid between steem and ether. It's baffling how much there is to learn in this space.
@ahse-ore
WOW !!! This is great news , I have been following EOS for the last couple of weeks and do believe it is going to be the best platform around for a long time to come . If buying out the top ICO'S is a way forward for EOS they will never have any competition . To be an early adopter of EOS is going to be the bets investment one can make, most properly in our lifetimes.
i completely agree.
That is great.
Since you can lose your tokens, it will be much more balanced and there will be quality contributions..
I think it is awesome.
And what's more @dan will be working alongside them..
yep, it's gonna be a good project if they can pull it off.
this is terrific news, Everipedia is truely something to stay up for. With steemit being like a better fb wherein you receives a commission for your publish i was positive more of the same could observe. positioned your money wherein your mouth is. Ahaha
Thank you @ashe-oro i am a newbie here and even heard the name Everipedia for the first time, I want posts like these to grow my knowledge towards crypto. thank you for clearing things.
welcome to crypto and glad I could be of service to ya!
It is great you can be a creator of content in everipedia ....no whales influence there....it wud be great then to join in there...
Guess i dont need any job now....i just need to be a netizen .... Bringing in bags of money.....lovely...
I just love these blockchain things...
Thabks for informing ....maybe i am gonna be among the earliest members.
you are. Create content every day. Just do it. Build your base community and provide value :)
I am just a beginner here ....maybe i can be good there...acting like a pro..😜
I wonder if it is a waste of human effort to create a decentralised version of Wikipedia. Wouldn’t it better to augment the content of Wikipedia incentivised by EOS tokens? Similar to what utopian.io is doing with open source contributions? Is human civilisation furthered just by decentralisation for its own sake?
isn't it great that the Free Market let's people use their time any way they think is valuable? To you and I, maybe this isn't a great use of someone's time, but to them it appears to be one of the best uses.
World has been so changed after induction of Block chain Technology. Nice initiative by everipedia. with inclusion of reward system it will definitely improve the quality of content. with the collaboration of @Dan Larimer they can achieve a lot of success. So it's time to have more EOs. Thanks for sharing @ashe-oro
first time to hear this name Everipedia the decentralized Wikipedia. Glad that I am on steemit and here daily I learned and listen to lots of things. thanks to the great man @ashe-oro for informing and helping us, I will try Everipedia. Thumbs up 👍👍👍
aweosme, thank you!!
Just remember to register your ether address folks or no IQ tokens for you! 👍
I hope posts like these to grow my knowledge towards crypto. thanks @ashe-oro for clearing things.
EOS holders rejoice! I am sure as glad that I am already in at a low price!

yeah, and ur aren't that helpful. What is your purpose?
I guess it looks for twitter links in postings and reposts them with some additional infos as comment.
I think it's a good program, and i can deal with this
This is great news, Everipedia is definitely something to look forward to. With steemit being like a better facebook where you get paid for your post i was sure more of the same would follow. Put your money where your mouth is. Ahaha
i want to upvote you, but the unnecessary images prevent me from doing so :(
Everipedia, the encyclopedia of everything, it allows active users to be more than just volunteers.
Great. I have resteem your post
This is gonna be a great hit and this will replace the wikipedia totally. People will love to read it and edit if they find any incorrect info there. What do you say about the early investment in it? Can we buy those token right now?
Can't buy tokens. All will be airdropped.
WOW ! This is great news , Thank you
@ashe-oro informative post
I recommend you guys to move your ERC-20 token to mew and metamask. Then, you will get all of the airdrop of EOS!
This is great news, Everipedia is a revolution!!!
It's time to get rich . Selector free tokens at AIRDROP
Seems I see Everipedia will success like steemit.
