The Importance of the Multiplier

Bonus Multipliers are applied for various reason. Bonuses will increase the value of the points you earn. The more active you are the better your multiplier can be. There is a cap on how high it will go however dont miss a single day on you could lose that multiplier.

Referral Multiplier There is a cap of 100 referrals currently where 100+ is the max for a 3x so if you have 1k referrals you still have a 3x as someone with 102 referrals. While you are capped per day on how many points you can earn from referrals however the more referrals you get the better the multiplier will be. Meaning the points you earn from that multiplier for new referrals has more weight than say your first referral at a 1x multiplier.

Daily Multiplier Log in daily and use LunarCrush to gain this bonus. One of the easiest multipliers to get and will help you accumulate points faster. Miss a day and that is no good. So don't do it lol.

Shared Multiplier This is all about the link in the post you share to social media or other ways. The more traffic your link gets by either people joining or clicking to see what you are talking about. The more clicks you generate in traffic the better the multiplier is for each click. So if your post only gets 1 click that's a 1x but if it shows 1700 clicks that's a 2x. This multiplier can be difficult for some users to get, the more followers you have the odds are the better multiplier you will have in theory as better chance of people clicking that link. If someone shares your post and the people they have see it have a better chance to gain even more click. The same can be said when someone sees the post someone shared and they share it themselves. This can be a greate multiplier for individuals with a huge reach of followers across multiple platforms.

Its all about the points!

As noted above on how you will be rewarded and importance of keeping the multipliers going. It is important to note that points in the end will rule, no matter your bonus. Why is that? well because the daily pool of points earned by everyone using LunarCrush is shared. Yes you heard me. Everyone earning points big or small all will share in the points being rewarded. All members will work together to get the pool higher and higher each day. So every day you may have close to the same points as you did the days before BUT your reward in Lunr will/may change by either a lot or just a little bit.

Tip: To get to showing your points and Lunr earned you can do it two ways from the APP. On top of the app it will show your level then your points then available Lunr if any that you can claim. The second way is to click the menu button on bottom right  and either click your level or Lunr Tokens button.

Why is that? Well since everyone shares in the pool each person gets rewarded a percentage of the pool. Meaning if you have a large amount of points in your daily points earning the greater of a percentage you can earn from the pool. The more points in the pool the more points you can earn with that percentage. While there is some fancy math behind it too. It all boils down to getting those referrals, daily use and getting those links shared out and clicked on.

If you are unsure what percentage you are at for the day based on the amount of points you are adding to the pool vs the pool itself. Just look at the rewards column of your points tab. Near where it says "Today" XXXX points there should be a display showing something like 0.000464% or 0.007% the percentage may vary by users performance. It can also change hourly or even each minute. Why? well there are other people adding their earned points into the pool. the more points they add over you the less you will get. Again there is some more math behind those numbers but when being basic about how Lunr is rewarded the higher the percent of the pool you contribute to in theory the more Lunr you will get. Strive for the bigger % above all else. How can you get it up there? Get those multipliers up and get those share and click in.

Beat the clock!

Its all about that daily use, getting the multipliers and getting as much points accumulated as possible in the time frame (24hrs) before it goes to zero.

as you can see from the screen shot from the APP you have a timer with all the multipliers shown. It is important to share, get referrals and clicks all within that time frame.

Activities Count!

Much like exercise getting the activities count and make the most impact. As noted previously about getting in those one time points in. It is important to get actions logged in from clicks to shares. This part will show how well you are doing. While this will show that you shared say once and received say one click the above mentioned multiplier kicks in and increases your points. The activities part just shows you how many times an action has been completed. If it shows 150 for referrals (MAX which is 30 referrals a day for 5pts each) your multiplier will kick in. The same factor applies with all the other actions tied in with their max amount and with their own multiplier.

(TOP) The chart will track your point performance vs your Lunr rewards. As you can tell by my chart I earned a lot the first active date due to the one time activities and already having an established account with LunarCrush prior to Lunr Token launch this is the reason for that large spike.

(BOTTOM) The chart will track your performance (Blue) vs The Community Pool (Purple) If you perform with points and have a high percentage of reward  your chart will surpass the Pools chart thus gain a bigger part of that slice than others would get. As you can tell my last performance on that chart was sad. I didn't get a single referral. (That's how important referrals are)

The Weekly Bonus:

Every week active users receive a bonus. Based on your tier level and activity. The most active users and higher tiers receive better weekly bonuses. Which is why you must be active daily every day getting in daily 20 link shares and as many link clicks and referrals as you can each and every day.

Review:
How I Rate LunarCrush a D- (For Now)

LunarCrush is a great App or website to use in your arsenal of finding gems. However with that said there are some hiccups along the way from its launch. The teams say that they are actively working to resolve the issues however that remains to be seen. The app and website routinely have issues and crash. Where you can not see your active points or withdraw you tokens that you have earned to even sharing issues not linking properly.

The point issue:
When users try to view the points they have earned they get either a server not responding issue or just does not load. This disables the user from tracking their points. The issue also fails to show accurate number of points where it will stay the same all day never changing. Which some users stressed concern that the system isn't accurately reporting points correctly.

Referral Issue:
The team has reported that when users have shared a link and someone signs up they are rewarded. But since it is the internet there are some shady users that will sign up using your ref feral. These shady individuals have caused some issue with the system, team and users. Several number of users have thrown in the towel after making hundreds and in some cases thousands of points but for the bonuses to be taken away. If you read the above you know you get some serious bonuses from referrals. However if someone is shady that signs up under your referral be prepared to be either Banned by the admins for someone signing up that is shady that you dont even know (especially if multiple sign up) or to have all your bonuses taken away for you not even doing anything bad yourself. The bonuses being taken away has had a huge bitter taste and some that are hugely influential have stated their distaste as they have been harmed from this as well. Imagine going from 800-1k+ points a day to only 175 points a day due to bonuses being removed from team. That can translate to earning 1.1-1.5 LUNR a day to about only .13-.3 a day with bonuses gone.

Links not working properly
Several individuals report shared links not working correctly or flat out changing every time it is shared. Some went as far as testing it out with people clicking on it and having 0 reports shown it being clicked on. While others shown that they received several clicks for the day when they wake up and timer has reset every thing to 0 and they have not shared anything yet. Some users have reported that when sharing a coin's info the link shows their portfolio instead of the coin or even referral link.

App freezes or gets stuck and can not back out.
There are many users that have reported app not working when loading that just sits there to them getting into a spot like "Favorites" and not being able to back out. When its stuck at that page closing out doesn't stop it from happening as it just loads where they last page was at and forever stuck. The app will also crash randomly for no reason. You can click on a coin to view and it'll crash, click on a metric it will crash. Load the app for the morning it will crash.

All in all
If you have a huge following you will prosper here, if you have under 500 following you wont succeed much at all. If you share be prepared to suffer as a result of shady people that may join. The app and way everything is programmed with the way points are earned is an example of being rushed through production and not tested thougholy. Simple fact that normal users suffer as well from bonuses being removed by the team shows that they only want large reaching users.

Disclamer:

First and foremost I have not received any incentive of any kind to do this. I only get rewarded in Lunr through the links shared and clicked on. I only receive tips from this platform on this blog hence why i am writing about it here. I currently own Lunr token which makes up about 2.5% of my portfolio. I currently do not know or aren't aware of knowing anyone personally from either Zilliqa or LunarCrush or its token Lunr Token other than following on twitter like everyone else. I am just a crypto junkie writing about what he likes and dislikes.
