Patreos is airdropping to voters on October 8th, 2018. We will take a snapshot of the voter table on October 1st, 2018. On October 8th, we will begin dropping our tokens (PTR) to all accounts that were in the voter table at the time of snapshot. Come chat more with us on telegram or visit us at patreos.com
What is Patreos?
Patreos is a dapp that lives and breathes on the EOS blockchain. The platform provides a subscription content service where fans can pledge to creators. We believe in a decentralized future, and believe it begins with a way to share content without censorship risk. It also starts with a way to reliably support projects and creators. So, here we are. Patreos gives you decentralized content sharing, subscriptions, pledging, and an inflationary token policy that rewards user actions and participation. The goal is to support people that create value. No more digital censorship. No more deplatforming. No more fees.
Patreos Ecosystem
Patreos has a typical Subscriber/Publisher model, where accounts can follow each other and receive notifications of newly shared content. This naturally creates two categories: the content creators and content consumers, though there are virtually no differences between the two accounts. The additional mechanism is the pledge. Pledging allows a user to enter into an token agreement with another account. The pledger enters a subscription agreement to contribute to another account a chosen amount of PTR every subscription cycle (7 days, 30 days, etc.). Pledges are managed by our token contract, and they are an opt-in feature.
Users can opt-in by staking PTR tokens. The Patreos token contract can only manage pledges from the user's staked PTR. This allows users to throttle subscriptions, delimit an amount of tokens for pledges, or to opt-out of pledging altogether (by default). Unstaked PTR is made available to the user 8 hours after unstaking. The advantage of staking PTR isn't just for managing pledges. Staking also determines the multiplier for inflation rewards an active user will receive. Yup, we have an inflation schedule in place for the first 2 years, and plan on a community referendum to determine continuity.
Why not use EOS for pledging?
When we look at the properties of the EOS token, we believe it is not a viable tip coin. There is too much value inherent within the EOS token. This discourages releasing ownership. Basically, selling or giving away EOS doesn't only mean giving away the dollar value of the token, but also giving up voter rights, ownership of network resources, future airdrops, and the ever-growing, unforeseen value that will be attached to the token in the future.
Another consideration is that the EOS token contract doesn't contain logic for subscription services, which means users would have to make EOS deposits into a non-native token contract for opt-in subscription management. It is best to avoid that step, and start within the native token contract. Also, inflationary rewards would not be possible using EOS as the underlying token.
Patreos Airdrop
The Patreos airdrop is meant to be meaningful. We want to send a message. We want to encourage voters, and want them to be rewarded! The security of the EOS network depends on an active and informed citizenry. We hope the Patreos airdrop inspires other dapps to craft incentives for voter participation--and borrow from our airdrop strategy when appropriate.
keep on
Very interesting idea. I wonder if something like this will be enough to push some voters into action to get an airdrop.
Let's see. According to my calculations, a voter must stake and vote using 500 EOS to qualify for the maximum amount of PTR Airdrop (10000).
No, you just need to vote for 30 producers for the maximum airdrop. If you vote 30, you get a 20:1 drop, and a higher cap of PTR tokens (more than 10k)
I missed all this but was in touch with you guys months ago, so that bummed me out since I have quite a bit of EOS and am pretty active.
If you did not know, my Telegram bot went off, there is a scam going around with a fake Patreos website phishing people as of today, they are over at Patreos.io
There is english and asian/korean on the info.
It's a very good initiative that you guys encourage voting.

Thanks for sharing. I've smashed the upvote button for you!
Also, if you are looking to get some tokens without investing or mining check out Crowdholding (https://www.crowdholding.com). They are a co-creation platform were you get rewarded for giving feedback to crypto startups on the platform. You can earn Crowdholding's token as well as DeepOnion, ITF, Smartcash and many other ERC-20 tokens.
This could be the beginnings of a new media absent other agendas.
I like it!
Good article ! subscribed to you and I hope for a mutual subscription
Great, I hope Patreos tokens are stablecoins though, it won't work with regular crypto volatility.
Eventually, you will be able to use any coin you want. That being said, the best tip coin I ever saw was doge.
Doesn't sound that exciting to be honest
I'd pledge to your photography.
