I think that I like experiments using HBD.
You may know about @hbd.bonds giving +10% yield above the current rate (currently 30%) for a 3 month lockup. They are in the middle of their second bond offering. I've been in both.
I have a simple metaverse game in private alpha testing and we hard peg our in-game currency to HBD. People can swap between HBD and our currency either way. Power up that currency and we pay 75% of current HBD interest, currently 15%. Power down takes 7 days in which time no interest is paid. Powered up currency gets paid the interest weekly in in-game currency. We have less than $200 powered up but it's been a good experiment. It's a way for people to earn almost as much on their HBD as usual while helping provide us with a little revenue.
I just mention that because it's a bit related and someone out there might riff on my idea and try something similar.
I have a few thousand HBD and not sure if I would partake in your experiment or not. I don't require weekly payouts. My HBD holdings are for the longer term. But I might try it just to be involved in another HBD based experiment! Wishing you all the best. :)
Never heard of hdb.bonds, i'll check out the account. Sounds interesting, 3 month lockup for better returns.
Whats the name of the game?
My game is @metarobots #metarobots
Super simple graphics, but a way for me and my testers to try ideas out.
Another thing I do is @tokenfaucet and @gamefaucet
They are free faucets with a base rate of reward with a random possibility of a multiplier. I have already tried a thing once on tokenfaucet where if you hold X amount of token Y then and only then can you collect reward Z. Might be something that can be done to reward people who hold a locked HBD bond.
Just thinking out loud and documenting it here. :)
