CommentRewarder (CR) has completed its second week of operation. We wanted to share a quick update on how the system is doing and explain some recent improvements. Thank you to everyone who has supported the project by using CR, spreading the word, and sending feedback.
CommentRewarder Blog Feed
If you've used CR this week, you may have noticed that CR automatically followed you. This is a new feature of the system. CR follows accounts that use the system. The system will unfollow the account after three days unless there is another post younger than three days with CR enabled.
The follow/unfollow behavior is intended to create a dense feed of blogs where engagement is encouraged, and new replies to those posts can earn rewards. The feed is imperfect because followed authors may not always use CR for their posts. Reblogs can appear in the feed without enabling the "Exclude Reblog" filter. Look for the CommentRewarder icon in the bottom right of post previews to find CR posts.

Here's how it looks with "Exclude Reblog" filter:
Fixes
There was a minor issue in PeakD where deeply nested replies did not display tip information. The fix for this is included in PeakD's release this week. Also, if you haven't seen PeakD Snaps yet, do it now!
Week 1+2 Stats
- 75 unique blog authors have published a post using CR
- 272 total posts have been published with CR
- 1339 comments have been identified as eligible for rewards
- 36.521 HBD and 586.105 HIVE rewards have been paid out to comments
What's Next
- Continuing to monitor the system for faults.
- Considering changes to provide rewards for replies in Threads/Waves/Snaps short-form discussion threads.
- Paying off our bootstrap loan from hiveposh
- Building recurring stats posts / charts to measure the performance of the CR system over time
Note: 100% of author rewards for this post will be distributed to replies
Keep up the good work! I love this initiative!
Me too! ✊🏻
Sounds great, I think daily posts with charts and stats (Maybe even leaderboards?) could be nice and to accept a small amount of rewards for things like servers to keep the service feeless!
You could also promote the use of a #commentrewarder Hashtag. I see some people are already using it. And some who haven't configured it too 😀 https://peakd.com/created/commentrewarder
Can you make a "Comment Rewarder" banner that people can add to posts so readers can identify which posts are participating?
We wanna keep the spam on the chain as low as possible when it comes to comments, etc. You can easily find posts as mentioned in the post, by checking commentrewarder's feed: https://peakd.com/@commentrewarder/feed
Should work on all frontends but not all of them have added the CR icon so you'd have to mouse-over to see which posts are sending rewards to commenters.
I'm using them and it's a good idea to reward the comments they make me, super
This seems like a really great initiative!
Hive seems to have become somewhat less engaging than it was years ago, and we really need something to make this community more "social." And perhaps something that can fill the void left when the long-running "Curation and Engagement Leagues" came to an end.
I believe engagement will help Hive attract new users. After all, who's going to join a "social" platform that's not being social?
😂 I am trying this now and at first, I read it as "Comment wanderer" haha
A question, if I put @commentrewarder with 3% or more as a beneficiary and my post does not receive rewards or very minimal rewards, what would happen to the comments for which I voted on my post so that @commentrewarder would reward them?
This case should be very rare. If CR can't give any rewards it will send a refund back to the blog author.
Greetings, I'm using CR and it's really an excellent idea so far, but I got lost here... (what does reblog have to do with it...??
Reblog doesn't do anything for CR
Nice to see this initiative growing. I hope that in the future more people will use this service.
I will. 🙌🏻
Excellent work @commentrewarder in all my publications is a beneficiary, great initiative and development 😊.
Realmente estás iniciativas fortalecen el conocimiento de los que aún estamos aprendiendo
I received my first comment rewards this week and only by this became aware of your project. It’s good! I will implement it for my posts too. 👍🏻
This is a great project. I will try using CR in my next post.
I really like this initiative, now I am using it every Thursday in my publication of a contest, last Thursday was my first publication where I set the 10%.
I like the program and I've been sharing 10% of most of my posts. My only trouble is not remembering to upvote comments!
Amazing results in these few weeks and thrilling news in the future. Expanding to threads/waves/snaps will surely complete the use cases of Comment Rewarder.
How are you thinking to do that? Still via beneficiary rewards?
Possibly. The trouble is the front ends don't usually allow changing beneficiary settings for comments.
That's what I was thinking... PeakD seems to allow it, but only for comments, which is likely what you are interested in. I don't see the option for replies. But I haven't seen this option for comments on other front ends.
I noticed a commentrewarder upvote on the top level post that uses this service. Is this automatic or manually done?
It's manual for now. Upvoting posts that use CR, within reason.
second of many more to come all these improvements make a project grow and at the same time offer good rewards just for commenting on posts
I love the initiative , I'm using it in some of my post and work really well for the people who comments , thank a lot 🙏🏼
Stats would be an interesting feature, and maybe choose how much time before the payout? I think it's 3 days right now right?
It's 7 days
Oh my bad. Must've misread that somewhere
I loved the initiative, I use it in all my posts, I check twice a day to vote for the comments.
For me it's a 10
thank you
I've been using the commentrewarder it's great! Suggestion if you can reward the top engager of the week, so people will have the motivation to comment or interact.
Thanks for the suggestion! I like it
All the improvements that are being applied to #CommentRewarder are what we need to make the interaction between users even greater
Well, that's interesting. @steevc sent me a tip, and I wondered what was going on until I looked at my history. Tipping comments should increase engagement, I would have thought.
I'm all for encouraging engagement :)
!BEER
And you've got the rings to prove it!

BEER.BEERHey @dickturpin, here is a little bit of from @steevc for you. Enjoy it!HIVE .We love your support by voting @detlev.witness on
You making a good start, those stats are great for only two weeks.
I've seen several authors use it. I really like it. It's a great start to encourage interaction. Sometimes we're all a little too lazy 😅
Unfortunately most of my posting is through the Actifit front end and I cannot find a way to set the beneficiary. I will try to use it with the other types of posts I make using PwakD as it is easier to set the beneficiaries through that.
This is great, I've just had a closer look and it seems like a great new feature. I will try it in my next posts :)
great move more of that please
Very brilliant that we have this going on ❤️
Nice!
This is a good initiative that will give all community members a sense of belonging
Good job
Congratulations @commentrewarder! You have completed the following achievement on the Hive blockchain And have been rewarded with New badge(s)
Your next payout target is 50 HP.
The unit is Hive Power equivalent because post and comment rewards can be split into HP and HBD
Your next target is to reach 300 comments.
You can view your badges on your board and compare yourself to others in the Ranking

STOPGreat work great initiative keep going 💪💪💪
keep up the good work
@commentrewarder, I paid out 130.690 HIVE and 0.000 HBD to reward 31 comments in this discussion thread.
I just made a test post using commentrewarder as 10% beneficiary. If it works out, I'll probably make it part of my post template by default.
Mil gracias por reconpensarme , fue una sorpresa muy agradable
I just noticed your account under the activity history. I didn't know that there was such a thing on Hive.
Anyway, keep up the good work!! And many thanks =P
