At first, I was not a fan of people posting about Publish0x on Publish0x. Then I realized, I almost always read the articles that talked about the platform. So, there must be some value to it, and I have now changed my mind to some degree, obviously because I am writing about it now.  One reason I think I always read the articles is that Publish0x is the best place for a discussion about Publish0x.  Replying to Igor’s articles is probably the best way to get your thoughts heard on the site, but, it is still good to discuss what we like about the site and our thoughts on our own, as well.

My main concern is that Publish0x has a pretty low ceiling in earnings for writers.  I don’t have an issue with this from the standpoint of what I make, I mean, it is free and I am just here for fun.  I work my day job to make my income. My worry is that for the long-term success of Publish0x (which is my favorite writing platform by far) is that people who make a living off writing and are really good at it will not migrate to this platform because popular posts usually make under two dollars. 

I would like to see the popular page have articles that differentiate themselves with higher earnings.  Even to the point that I make less on my writing to subsidize better posters.  So, here are my thoughts for options on this.

1. Set a minimum for followers before you can receive tips. Readers could still read and tip and not see a difference, but, until you met a minimum threshold of people following you, you would not receive those tips. This would make people build a fanbase, produce quality, and make sure they would be around for the long run.
2. Put the minimum you can tip yourself at 50%. People that are on the site to earn free crytpo and not learn and write are not going to add value. If they are clicking and scrolling right away to the bottom of the article to tip themselves, then they are probably going to do that no matter what. You could even put a minimum of 1 minute before being able to tip. That would cut out some of issues of articles getting tipped that are not worthy of it.
3. Increase tips on articles that meet a certain level. Once an article hits 2.00, then the amount tipped goes up 500 percent (the person tipping would not see a difference on their end). This may seem like a lot, but very few articles hit that level and the ones that do would be rewarded. This increase in tips could be financed the decreases in the other ideas here.
4. Not being active would reduce your tips. Anyone not active for a week (active meaning writing, commenting, or tipping) would lose ten percent of their bank back into the pot.

Here again, this is my favorite site and I am staying around. I know it is easy to write a post about all the stuff I would do when I didn’t create the site, have no real skin in the game, and don’t have to write code to change it. It is fun, though, just to think about it. I just want to see Publish0x become the go to place for crypto
