Change in Ratio

After the previous announcement of the change in ratio, 0.1 each month, ending in 1.0 at September 1st, we noticed a certain fear, mostly from new users, of the imposibility to keep such a ratio.

Based on the poll we created, we had 42 votes liking the idea, 23 suggesting increase to 0.7 and 35 to 0.5 only. A total of 100 votes agreeing with the raise and only 14 against it.

So, for the time being, we'll keep the schedule but only to 0.5 at April 1st. In the future, when we don't have a lot of new users as we have now, we may get back to this discussion.

However, even though requirement will only be 0.5, you should still aim to have ratio above 1.0. This means you are contributing as much as you are taking, which is what P2P is actually about.

Right now we think it is necessary to remove this fear from our users, and we are gifting 1000 BON to everyone, to give you a foundation to build on, which should also help you to improve your ratios.
