Introduction:Introducing
QED, a token having a sole utility (barring destined speculation on exchanges) fundamentally designed for Bitcointalk (
BCT) users seeking monetary rewards for their quality posts in lieu of, or in conjunction with the seemingly difficult-to-obtain
Merit (sMerit), of which the consensus by many voiced unfair distribution favoring ranked members, a sentiment we all may or may not echo.
QED is the acronym for
Quod Erat Demonstrandum, loosely translated: "thus it has been demonstrated." Whether or not a better naming would've been prudent, it'll soon become apparent why the token symbol
QED is a
perfect fit.
QED is custom-tailored for low-ranked members on
BCT feeling that their future earning potential has been severely severed by this forum's newly implemented Merit rewards program. Now they'll be able to readily monetize their posts while slowly earning Merit so to futurely participant in lucrative campaigns requiring a minimum ranking, of which a fixed number of Merit is needed to step up in rank.
Accompanied website forthcoming.
Participation:Although specifically designed for
all BCT members regardless their ranking,
QED can be doled to, or obtained from anyone possessing
QED as rewards for informative posts et al. on or off this forum, e.g. to
QED-accepting YouTubers for video uploads depicting the likes of
how to fold an origami dragon or supporting artist like
Sina.
Participants
MUST purchase at least the minimum amount of
QED in order to receive
QED for their eloquent and elucidative posts. See
Pricing below.
BCT will act as the launching pad in advancing the user-friendly intuitive concept until anticipated wider acceptance of
QED is imminently achieved, e.g. across social media platforms (Quora, Medium, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc.).
Particulars:QED is an ERC20 compliant token launched on the Ethereum platform having the following vitals:
There is
NO RESERVE. 100% of
QED will be distributed at the low price points or as
Bonuses outlined below, leaving on the table tentatively creating social media campaigns (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) in advancing the cause.
A
QED airdrop is not scheduled.
Pricing:Foremostly, this is not an ICO nor will one be implemented. Pricing for purchasing
QED is relatively straightforward:
- $5 USD for a one-time purchase of 500 QED per wallet address
- $5 USD for each additional 200 QED remitted to the same wallet address as above
- $20 USD for a one-time purchase of 4,000 QED remitted to the same wallet address as above
- $5 USD for each additional 500 QED remitted to the same wallet address as above
The strict pricing structure per wallet address helps assure a fair distribution of
QED.
The lowest dollar amount that
ALL participants would have to remit is $5 USD for their initial 500
QED. The highest initial dollar amount is $25 USD if desiring to futurely take advantage of having the ability to continually purchase 500
QED for only $5 USD, else you're locked in for purchasing additional 200
QED for $5 USD per wallet address; $30 USD at most if taking advantage of a selective bonus (below).
Purchasing QED:Utilize one of the following cryptocurrency wallet addresses when conducting your
QED purchase:
- Bitcoin (BTC): 1LjTfLy26Y5um8XZQ1MYQcQursqNnJZZD4
- Ethereum (ETH): 0xb156b1f717f635bF83ab771Da119cb289F3126AE
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH): qrv8y8dgavr8cwwxxpts5qqmz6vkpvul7gpq9rrgl4
Payment via other cryptocurrencies available upon request.
Orders should be placed on this thread where they will be recognized and provided a URL//TxID upon remitting
QED. Orders via PM will also be accepted if users prefer such avenue for whatever reasons.
Please provide the following information in the expressed format upon conducting your
QED purchase:
[b]Linked-to TxID verifying purchase:[/b]
[b]USD dollar amount remitted:[/b]
[b]Amount of [size=11pt][color=purple][b]QED[/b][/color][/size] purchased:[/b]
[b]ETH wallet address where [size=11pt][color=purple][b]QED[/b][/color][/size] will be sent:[/b]
[b]Linked-to Referral (optional):[/b]
The following example depicts what your order should look like (pseudo TxID & address for illustration purposes only; purchases can also be made via BTC or BCH):
Linked-to TxID verifying purchase: 0xbc72bf2b1d6ce4ad6ab4u1783dfb9f1019cfd3a8a9138c5818cbc5f4a9bld1c9USD dollar amount remitted: $5
Amount of QED purchased: 500
ETH wallet address where QED will be sent: 0xf5627afYaf6f67a26ab8779dc70e973f9970eZa9
Linked-to Referral (optional): fr@nkPlease note that the
Amount of QED purchased: you state
will not include any
Bonuses, of which will be adjusted accordingly on our end prior to remitting
QED to your wallet address.
Bonuses:For first 200 patrons
ONLY, the number of
QED remitted to unique wallet addresses will be
DOUBLED, corresponding to the package purchased as outlined above. The maximum purchase amount if taking advantage of this bonus is $30 USD for 10,000
QED: $5 USD for initial 1,000
QED (500 X 2); $20 USD for 8,000
QED (4,000 X 2); $5 USD for an additional 1,000
QED (500 X 2). The minimum purchase is $5 USD for the initial 1,000
QED during the bonus round.
The first 50 people providing a link to a TxID proving that they rewarded a token amount of
QED to another person - assumedly as a reward for some informative post et al. - will receive a 500
QED bonus. This bonus is limited to one reward per
BCT user account, of which the receiver
MUST have priorly purchased the minimum amount of
QED ($5 USD) as stipulated. Verified submissions may later be used as case studies depicting the envisaged concept in action.
There is a referral bonus, outlined next.
No other bonuses are scheduled to be offered.
Referrals:To take part in the lucrative single-tier referral program, you
MUST have purchased at least 500
QED for $5 USD. You may consider utilizing one
BCT user account solely to take advantage of this offering, for there's no limit in the number of referrals used when onboarding new participants. Referral rewards as follows:
- 1,000 QED to the affiliate
- 1,000 QED to the person referred who purchases at least 500 QED for $5 USD
For now, your linked-to
BCT username (
Satoshi,
theymos,
fr@nk, etc.) will act as the referral code. New purchasers
MUST include the [coupon] code in the
Purchasing QED details (above) when buying their initial
QED so that both parties will be credited 1,000
QED.
Astute users gaming the system
will be tolerated when making precise purchases, including layering select bonus and referral rewards. Have at it! The practice won't affect the aforementioned "fair distribution" all that much, and by not deterring such, time won't be wasted in uncovering, then reprimanding those practicing deceitfulness.
Exchanges:QED will be available for trading on exchanges when at least 500 [
BCT] users are participating in the program. Yes,
QED can be purchased for speculation purposes only, bearing in mind that initial quantity is limited per
BCT username per unique wallet address.
Will
QED moon? Only time will tell.
Recognition:On this forum (additional venues addressed later) as a user who purchased the minimum 500
QED for $5 USD, you're entitled to receive
QED. To immediately make aware to other participants et al. that you're seeking
QED for one, up to all of your posts, simply end your posts with
QED doubling as a link, albeit not necessarily obvious to the untrained eye because it'll remain colored purple opposed to some shade of blue commonly conveying that the text is in fact a link. This was purposely designed so to not make the monetary request too blatant and, moreover, to be in compliance with any forum rules or guidelines pertaining to the frowned-upon practice. Ending a post with
QED regardless its hue looks completely natural, especially if the post's intended context expressly proves some quoted text, thus a
perfect fit (see clause containing "it'll soon be apparent" at the top of this OP).
Ending a post with
QED works just as well when providing a mundane or in-depth answer to a question, coaxing the addressed poster helped in considering rewarding
QED in kind.
Unless you intend on linking to your wallet address elsewhere, here's the code for
QED, remembering to replace the URL of Satoshi's profile page with your own, the important aspect being the number following
u= (Satoshi's # is
u=3):
[url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3][color=purple][size=12pt][b]QED[/b][/size][/color][/url]
For
BCT users, an ideal place to embed your
QED wallet address is on your profile page. Simply go to your profile page where on the left you'll see
Modify Profile. Click on
Forum Profile Information. Scroll down until you see

Thus the following (pseudo ETH wallet address for illustration purposes only) ...
Other contact info: QED: 0xd591234ae421a3bcba99ZZ0da6d73674f2U192f
And/or you can most ideally embed your
QED wallet address in your signature, predicated on if there is space enough according to your rank's allowable character count or your're utilizing the sig for some other [monetization] purpose(s). The most basic sig would look like ...
QED: 0xd591234ae421a3bcba99ZZ0da6d73674f2U192f
Obviously, one could link directly to their dedicated
QED wallet address maintained on the Ethereum blockchain.
Eventually,
BCT users may chiefly seek out other users who publicly display possessing
QED, addressing any questions or concerns they have with the intent of hopefully being rewarded for their services as an adjunct revenue stream.
Escrow:There is no escrow. Although this user account is new, I've been involved in the crypto space for quite awhile. We're only talking about a small amount of money that's being transferred in purchasing
QED, and if
JUST ONE intended order isn't fulfilled, the affected party would immediately label this endeavor a scam, thus ending it in a heartbeat.
That just about covers it. Any questions, please ask.
