[ANN][MANNA] Manna:Universal Basic Income + Blockchain

[Johnny Carsonogenic]

Checked my wallet and I have received the disbursement. Thanks team.

[Skimanner]

Thanks for the information.  I will DM you the screenshot

[Skimanner]

Could you explain how the distribution system works?  It seems odd to me that the premise is Universal equality.  but people that I got to sign up got different pays (and no none of them had referrals) and I have no clue what the amount I got was based off of but it certainly was not based off of my referrals + 1 * (the number of coins my wife received).  Maybe it was the amount all my referrals received + what random # of coins I received as a base.  I don't know how many everyone got so I don't know.  But I'm hoping you can tell us why everything seems random.

p.s. it was hard enough to try to convince people that this is not a scam because no one believes in the word free with no strings attached.  I was hoping the people I hounded and got to signup would spread the word and affirm what I was saying after receiving their coins today but instead it worked the opposite way.  Conspiracy theories about different numbers and major grumbles about the misleading 500coins = $8.50 every day upto March 1st and then receiving less than 50.  I mean pshhh I don't mind spreading the word on stuff but I certainly don't like people asking me all this crap like I did it.  Well hopefully you have answers cause I'm tired of people asking.

Hi, I am happy to answer your questions and help clarify your concerns. First, regarding the 500 coin component. We initially had our currency converter tool with 500 as the baseline example amount. This was clearly labeled as a currency converter and the number would change once you typed into the box. That being said, it did cause confusion so we have since fixed that by simply making the baseline number in the box to be 1. We had no intention of misleading or confusing people and quickly addressed the issue once we saw there was some confusion. As for different pay amounts, everyone should have received the exact same amount of base UBI. Any additional amount would have been due to referrals. We have seen no evidence in the blockchain of this not being the case but I would be happy to explore your circumstance to determine why the numbers seem off and if in fact they are.  Can you dm me a screenshot of your dashboard? We distribute 3.5% of new coins into circulation annually through the UBI. This is broken down into 52 smaller distributions, i.e. once a week. The concept of the "free money" component is based on the fundamental idea that most currencies, and even commodities like gold, experience a moderate annual inflation.The only difference is that everyone who participates in the manna economy, by becoming a UBI recipient, receives an equal share of that new money created. We are working diligently on streamlining the process. This includes a FAQ/ videos regarding many of the commonly asked questions like the ones you have asked, improving the sign-up experience to prevent any possibility of confusion, and educating the community as effectively as possible about how the project works and what to expect. In the end, like anything in this world, the success or failure of Manna will depend on the community of people who choose to support it. Anyways, we really appreciate you spreading the word and I apologize for any flack you ended up receiving due to confusion or misinformation. Hope this helps quell some of your concerns, and I hope I can help get to the bottom of your issues regarding the amount of coins you received.

Correction I would send you the screenshots if you accepted message from newbies lol.  In the meantime can you confirm how many coins each person should of received?

It should have been ~29 Manna plus ~29 Manna per approved referral. If this is not correct, I have DM'ed you my e-mail and can help you further.

[Skimanner]

Well no one got less than that, so no complaints here lol.  But I will DM you to help you track down the issue now that I’m no longer a newbie.

I think your project is still not perfect, the relevant information on the project and the team information is very small, I hope you can add more information.

Thanks for your feedback. We are working diligently to continue to improve our transparency and information. That being said, if care to go into a little more depth about specifics of what you feel is missing or how it could be improved, that would be much appreciated.
By the way, have you read our whitepaper?

[Anycrypt]

Interesting project! Maybe I'll join your platform.I think that the project will be in demand by users.

[Cashwave]

Your project looks Interesting, about signing up to experience how it works. I read from the thread that your project has been up since 2015 and its still on a low key,I guess the publicity should be boosted. Thanks

Until March 1st it was just proof of concept testing and different name.  A total of 8 disbursement’s over 3 years I believe compared to the now 1 a week.  From what I can tell it’s highly geared towards trying to get people not in the crypto scene also.  What better way to get people to get involved by giving them free coins.  Unfortunately the price of manna is too low to successfully pull this off atm.  Most people that are not in the crypto scene will never look again after seeing $0.50 worth of coins.  Their is nothing wrong with free $0.50 a week especially if you consider inflation later this year but these people don’t know any of that.  They just know $0.50 is not worth getting involved.  Most my friends are even more confused with the coin converter going from 500 to 1.  Most of them now think they received a penny lol.  I highly suggest you set the converter to default to # of coins owned.  And have 0 balance default to 1 on converter for new signups.

This has actually not been the case. We have had to upgrade our servers numerous times in the last couple weeks because of traffic to our site. We are currently experiencing extremely fast growth to the point where we are not yet able to implement our marketing strategies as we currently are needing to adjust for organic growth as well as optimize the process to improve UBI sign-up completion rates. Yes, the current distribution amount per week is currently fairly small, but even as is that would equate to $25 per year which for much of the world is still rather significant. On top of this, many people are receiving additional referral bonuses or referred bonuses as well. We have added two highly talented and  marketers to our team with large personal/social networks and marketing experience. The value will come with time and as crypto enthusiasts know, value corrections usually happen suddenly rather than modestly over time. In  short, user adoption since we have launched Mannabase has been extremely successful. We are working daily towards improving the intuitive nature of the site and to eliminate any areas of confusion. Unfortunately, these changes take time and while there are still users who are confused, we have only had the distribution live for 4 days and Mannabase live for about a month. I think it should be fair to expect some period of adaptation on our end to resolve user problems and misunderstanding. Anyways, I deeply appreciate all the great feedback and rest assured we are listening closely:)

So now I have the manna in my mannabase.com account:

- how can I use it now?

- how will I be able to use it in the future?

I think a currency make more sense if it can be used.

P.S.
I am a developer and would like to contribute, who should I contact?

      As of now, the send/ receive function of the Mannabase wallets is not yet active. We are currently finalizing the development of this feature and should have it released soon. Once it is, users will be able to send the Manna to other users accounts or out of their account and to exchanges where they can sell it for other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. From there, they can sell the Bitcoin for their native fiat currencies like the US dollar. I know this is a lot of steps and a little complicated as is. Longer term, we plan to alleviate this through a number of solutions:

1.) Utilize our targeted giving features to give Manna to charities, artists/creators, and and those in need.

2.) Partnering with digital currency debit card companies to allow you to store Manna in a debit card then instantly spend it even at locations who do not accept Manna or digital currency. They just would need to accept major credit cards like Visa. (Companies like Tenx and Monaco are currently developing this solution)
3.) Partnering with websites where you can buy gift cards to most major establishments with your Manna.
4.) Partnering with businesses to directly accept Manna as payment.
5.) Creating a Marketplace on Mannabase.com. (Likely consisting of music, art, tutoring, and other services that can have a more elastic price to balance the early stage price volatility.) 

Anyway, the reality is that we are still in the early stages of this project. As the network of users grows, so will the full vision and use case. Metcalf's law is a great way to think about the network effect and how a growing user base will intrinsically provide greater use case.

Yes, we are currently hiring developers and would love to talk. I will DM you the contact details.

Our Manna Currency account is still a Newbie so I am unable to DM you contact information for development work. Please go to https://www.mannabase.com/about/ and scroll to the bottom. There is a general inquiries button which will provide the e-mail link to contact us. I would post the e-mail here but do not want the accompanying spam.

I would like to share the official tweet from yesterday:

Today we did the 2nd weekly distribution of $MANNA #UniversalBasicIncome #cryptocurrency on http://Mannabase.com . Over 22,000 people received a total of ~$13,000 worth of Manna in this distribution.

Hey Xalia,
      It would be best to contact Doug Shubert for this as he will be able to assist you through the process and answer any questions you may have. You can contact him by e-mailing him at:
(his first name )@mannabase.com
Hope that makes sense. I don't want his e-mailed to get spammed.

What a beautiful place Earth would be if anyone has basic income and have time to do what they want and in that way contribute to humanity.

I see there is a referral link, so do we get a reward for bringing more people?
