Since I’ve been in 1hive since sept-oct I can share a bit of what we do over there. The 8-25 approach seems to be pretty smooth. Week to week are not that different. There is also a 0.4 decayRate.

In regards to “life time” cred. Could this be a function for the creditor role? Maybe only the creditor role can mint this life time cred given a specific emoji? Gaming lifetime cred could get interesting to say the least.

Lastly, 1hive uses role multipliers that help with someone new coming in and gaming 0.5% of the cred the day before distribution.

I don’t mean to talk so much about 1hive but I feel in regards to the comments mentioned above it’s working fairly well.

Data from live implementations is super helpful @Monstrosity1, thanks for relaying.

Have we since switched to the lifetime mechanism? Is the PID Controller something you want to use instead of Recent, or instead of Balanced altogether?
