Anyone else here part of the participation movement?
I am looking to discuss the procedures with others involved so we can figure out what this halt in participation awards.
I am aware that the team has added new employees and are working on catching up to these submissions.
Events submissions are 3+ weeks backed up. Artist submissions are taking roughly 10 days to go through.
Some days I will get 10 times as much VIB award per 1 artist as other days. I know the allocation is 5k per day distributed out.
With adding more employees to catch up, this would most likely result in lower VIBs per submission.
What I am trying to figure out is, once these submissions are caught up, will our VIB allocation per submission also go up? I reckon because more submissions are being checked through at the moment, that our awards are lower.
Then you should take your chance adding artists before the site will be well known

It´s like mining other coins. If i mining a unknown coin the payout will be much higher then mining an "old" one. The same will be happen with VIB. If they implement this year the core functions to use the VIBs the demand of the coin will defently go up. It´s good for the people who bought their coins now but if there will be a higher price more and more people will take submissions. I think in future not people like you and me will take the submissions but people from "poor" countries.
And your question about the current fluctuations of your dayli VIBs: I think it´s because they dont really work on weekend (saturday half day, sunday off). So the payout on Sunday and Monday will be much higher then the other days because on Saturday only a few entries will be checked and the payout of the sunday bounty pool will be on monday. I have the same problem.
