Reply to Beneficiary Reward Split Discussion
Finally got around to playing with TokenBB for the first time and it's looking good so far! The payment tiers don't look at all unreasonable to me, but one thing I'd love to see is the possibility of these being automated or "earned." Not to compare the two projects, but that was one aspect ChainBB had developed that was interesting. Better revenue splits and tiers were automatically unlocked as the earnings flowing through your forum grew, and along with it the hosts/developers revenue.
With the structure of these plans, there are points at which the economics for the forum owner dictate a clear switchover. If my math is correct, the Basic plan should be purchased as soon as $180 USD a month of rewards are flowing through a forum's posts, Standard at $800, and Premium at $1600.
While owners can and should be incentivized to purchase premium packages to get quicker access to features that will help them customize and grow their forum faster, I think they could also earn these features by growing their volume alone.
It also makes it nice that forum owners don't have to worry about sending payments each month, nor do you have to worry about invoicing and collecting them, as long as their forum is sustaining suitable activity to keep them in the proper tier. The 180/800/1600 breakpoints above are the points where it is revenue neutral to TokenBB and fair to the consumers to simply grant them access to the upgraded features of the next plan level.
Hope that all makes sense and might be at least a bit of food for thought!
