Passive income
The token holders of $SNM will have a share in the sales of computing power on the marketplace. Imagine gaining a percentage of eBay's auction fees. This was falsely described in the white paper as "dividends". Real dividends (as meant by the SEC) would describe a situation where you would gain percentages of the whole eBay Inc. We are simple talking about some kind of a kickback- / referral-like concept.
This means: Nice passive income for token holders and some intrinsic value of the token which will serve as the currency on that marketplace - and it will be big. Why?
So its true that we shall be receiving small percentage, its a passive income. I think this could be the reason why some exchange won't be adding SNM as same thing happen with some tokens offering dividends. TAAS however was doing it quite well. I hope SNM can manage to get it listed on more exchanges too.
Actually lets talk about the passive income. This is my understanding, maybe i am wrong and correct me if i do as i do not want to spread the wrong idea.
The "dividend" everyone is talking about is the x% of the service fee of the whole network service fee given back to the token holders as in reward which is like bitcoin mining where you get rewards for mining. The service fee here works as part of an operational cost like overhead cost in an organisation. Does the fee now considered as dividend? Dividend as per my understand is when an organisation shares its profit in the form of dividends (a share of that profit) with their stake holders.
Please correct me if i am wrong. I feel its best to clear this part so that everyone understands it better including me.
