I am very excited to hear about the new !PIZZA Baron rewards now that I am one. Especially as related to utility NFTs.
However, I was hoping that the PizzaBot changes would include allowing large stakers (think the 'Champions Club' and above) to choose how many slices to give to someone rather than just reducing the overall amount. I would much rather be able to give out a few larger slices than a ton of small ones.
I know that I am not the only person who has requested this feature, so are there any plans to implement that in the near future? Or do you disagree with the suggestion? I would love to hear an official statement on this topic.
Thank you for all of your great work!
Currently we disagree with this. It creates two anti-PIZZA scenarios that we want to avoid. 1. Farmers will take advantage of this and will award larger amounts in their farms over time, much faster and 2. It starts to stray away from the original intent of the bot, which was driving and rewarding engagement on the blockchain.
Love the feedback though and as always we keep all this in mind as we move forward!
!PIZZA
Ah, thank you for the explanation. I suppose it is worth keeping things the way that they are if it prevents bots from farming !PIZZA into the ground.
On the topic of reducing the Top 10 staker rewards, I think it was the right move although the Top 10 probably wish it didn't happen. The main complaint I've heard about PIZZA is that the gap between the Top 10 and everyone else was widening considerably with just about no way for the average person to catch up without spending thousands of dollars. Good on you for making the hard decision to restructure. I am very interested to see what you come up with.
You're very welcome! We try to approach every decision from each perspective/angle before committing and always with the best interest of the project at mind. It's always hard 'taking things away' but we felt in our hearts it was right move, especially after some feedback from some of the Barony such as @shauner mentioned. We're proud to have such a strong core group of stakers!
In previous discussions, the Top10 were in support of reducing our own rewards for the betterment of the project. I’m not sure if every one of us commented on it but it was surely a majority. We’ve got a great group of early adopters that really want to see !PIZZA succeed!
Nice! Generous of you in that case.
Have a !PIZZA
