What is Publish0x and How it Works

Publish0x is a crypto agnostic, Medium.com like publishing platform that rewards both authors and readers.

Readers have the option to send a micro tip to the authors and get a portion of the tip for themselves. Tips are free for both reader and author and come from our rewards pool.

Tipping and Payout Related Questions

 

If Tips are Free, Where Do the Coins Come From?

Tips on Publish0x are free for both author and reader. The tips are sponsored by us. Tips will likely be sponsored in the future.

Does that Mean Advertising is Coming?

We are keen to avoid putting banner ads all over the site. We might place 1 in the backend dashboard if we think we can do so tastefully without overwhelming the site with ads. We would prefer to work with different interesting and ambitious coins who would be interested to “airdrop” and give away their tokens through Publish0x to gain awareness, or to sponsor the creation of article and video content to appear on Publish0x.

Which Tokens Are You Using?

Currently, tips can only be made in multiple, tradable ETH ERC-20 and Fantom Network tokens.

How Can I Withdraw My Coins? Payout date and rules.

Note that these should be taken as guidelines and are subject to change without notice.

Payouts are processed according to the schedule set here.

When you request a payout, our team manually checks the request. Once your payout is accepted, your balance will be sent on the first Monday of next month.

The minimum threshold for a payout is $1 payable* in a token**.

*The minimum amount needed to request a payout is subject to change. The date the payouts are sent is subject to change.

Which Wallet Should I Use and Can I Withdraw Crypto to an Exchange Wallet?

This is important, we absolutely DO NOT recommend withdrawing to an exchange account wallet. In the future there will be multiple tokens to earn in, and if the exchange doesn't support those tokens, then these tokens will be lost forever.

Please DO NOT use a wallet on an exchange - it is asking for trouble. Get Metamask. Metamask Wallet will work and display all ETH ERC-20 and all Fantom Network tokens and guarantee that you keep all of your tokens received from us.

Best of all, with Metamask you control your private keys and your crypto.

Other popular wallets for your Ethereum Network ERC-20 tokens you can use include MyCrypto, MyEther Wallet, or Trust Wallet.

We take no responsibility if you set an exchange wallet or a wallet that doesn't support tokens we give out, and if you receive coins there from us which are unsupported at the exchange. You will likely lose those tokens.

Here's a post to help you withdraw your ERC-20 tokens to Metamask, MyCrypto, and MyEther Wallets, while you can find info on withdrawing tokens from the Fantom Chain on this page.

 

Do You Have Proof that You Pay Out? How Can I Know that You Pay?

Yes we do!

This is our base payout wallet, so you can see all payouts/txs originating from here:

Publish0x in Relation to Other Projects

How is Publish0x Different Compared to Steemit or Hive?

Here are the main differences:

  • We don't have our own coin and are crypto agnostic. We will be adding support for multiple ERC-20 coins in the future, as well as for coins on other chains.
  • When tipping, both the author and reader earn. No one loses anything when a tip is given. Tips are free for both the author and reader and come from our rewards pool.
  • Tips from your account don't have more or less “voting power” than tips made from an account holding more of “xyz” token (in case of Steemit, more of STEEM).
  • We are not trying to become a social network. We are a publishing platform open to select approved authors that focus on quality content. Thus, it would be more accurate to compare us to Medium than Steemit.

Are you a part of the 0x Protocol or District0x?

No. We are not based on or a part of neither 0x Protocol (DEX protocol) nor District0x (a social space protocol).

District0x did plan to launch a project under the name Publish0x (they wanted to launch a Decentralised Publishing Market for Books) sometime in 2017, but we have no connection with it other than we happened to have chosen the name Publish0x by pure chance.

Bugs

I’ve Found a Bug. Something is Not Working Correctly.

We are in Beta, and that means that the site is not polished yet.

The core mechanics of Publish0x are working, but we do expect odd issues to appear from time to time. If you notice something that is not working correctly, we will appreciate it if you let us know. You can reach out to us at [email protected]
