Given your feedback, I think we should leave out mention of the faucet,
You need faucet to register your CPID. That step is very important. If people have to buy BBP on exchange, then that is one more reason not to join BBP.
I did find that with Staking, we only require:
0.8 BBP per 1 RAC for 10% reward
18 BBP per 1 RAC for 100% reward
Keep it simple. 20 BBP = 1 RAC is easiest to communicate.
616 make a good suggestion where regardless of your current RAC, do PoDC payout based on your staked BBP. For example, you have 1k BBP in your wallet. Even if you exceed 50 RAC, you still get paid as if you only have 50 RAC. This encourages all PoDC miners to participate and they can work towards being fully staked w/o penalization. I know it took me a few weeks to decide if I wanted to buy more BBP. I had to get my fiat together, buy BTC, figure out which exchange I wanted to buy BBP from, buy at 45 sats because I was impatient, and eventually send it to my wallet. That all takes time... If BBP PoDC payouts are daily, that encourages miners to keep BOINCing and stay with Team BiblePay.

might need to be changed to reflect the change in logic if there is consensus to approve change.
Yes, there are many efficient ways to do many things that sound good on the surface but don't work in a deterministic environment.
Saying something like in 616's opinion, things would be better if we just paid RAC all the way down to 0 (and had no breaks threshhold), is really ignoring the IT departments reason to have a 'snap to grid' feature in the first place.
It's like saying let's rewrite BiblePays sanctuary consensus algorithm. I invite anyone to rewrite it - if they know more about this technology, submit a pull request and Ill take a look at it.
For now, I would recommend keeping what we have, since it is designed properly (the snap to grid has a purpose), but I do agree we should round up to 1 BBP to make it easier for new users to understand the low threshhold.
We really should not have been diving into the snap-to-grid imo, at all, as this is just confusing everyone. Let's stick with what the rules in exec totalrac show, and have the new user go by that figure.
