Proof of Quality happens when your post goes through the process of draft, ready to publish, to published. You are awarded proof of quality when it is published. You are awarded proof of value later. Proof of quality is all or none. Proof of value depends on how many views/comments/likes your post receives over the course of about 1 month.
Yes. This is it. PoV is over 4 weeks, to be exact.
With Proof of Quality, the stress is on the quality. We're seeing so much spam and very low quality articles coming in that we are contemplating an LTBc fee for submissions or a deposit that you lose if you haven't put in a proper effort before you set your article to "Ready for Publishing". People who don't have LTBc would be able to submit through a broker who pre-checks their article and takes on the risk of putting up the coin.
That's not something I would do in an ideal situation, but we need to find a way to avoid the editors wasting too
much time.
Anyway, we're still discussing options.
