• The team mentioned that people who want to participate #airdrop should have money in their Solana wallet. It doesn't have to be a huge amount, but I think it would be good to have a wallet with at least 1-2 transactions to be guaranteed. I'm not sure if there is a situation where empty wallets are eliminated, but you shouldn't leave it to chance.
• Those who are currently running workers know well, people who do not receive work are marked as IDLE (pending). It was said that after the token is released, people who are IDLE will continue to earn $IO. The team says that people who employ workers at least want to cover their electricity and equipment costs in this way.
• Workers who get a job will earn both $USDC and $IO as a bonus. They abandoned the stablecoin named $IOSD and the burn and mint system they had previously thought of. They thought of a new system, I will talk about it below.
• There is a bug with the pause button and they are aware of it, I think it will be solved soon. Be careful not to get blocked because the pause button is problematic, I don't recommend using your devices in running state at this time.
• They are preparing a mega cluster for Apple chips. I wonder what kind of partnership will come out of this. They mentioned that they have very big plans for Apple chips and that they need at least 50 times more Apple devices. They also added that something you never expected would happen and increased my curiosity even more.
• They mentioned that connection speeds and levels are very important and that they will create use cases for low-tier (low) connection speeds. He said that especially those who have low-tier cards like 3060 should continue to stay connected to the system, and that they have plans to get more work for such cards. I honestly think that the infrastructure of http://bc8.ai can be shifted to this area. It would be a good idea.
• They stated that they are growing quite fast. @shadid_io said that they evolved from 20 people to a team of 80 people in a very short time like 4 weeks. He mentioned that they closed the funding part with a 40 million dollar fund.
• If your rewards are over $100USDC, you can send a ticket to the team and withdraw your funds for now. They are currently doing a smart contract update to make it so that you can withdraw at any time.
• Higher tier cards will get more for #airdrop, they will also increase the rewards for Apple chips. But at the end of the day, the most important thing will be uptime and the total time you're connected and the jobs you get.
• The most important thing is that they abandoned the old incineration system and switched to a buyback system. I also got the answer to my question whether the tokens you will pay to IDLE workers will not create inflation.
• According to this system, there will be $IO in the reward pool, as real companies pay $USDC and get work, the team will make $IO buybacks, that is, they will buy $IO from the market and thus prevent inflation. Since this model is based on the real profit model, the emission rate will be low. They also said that they have other plans to take $IOs out of circulation, but they may share that in the future.
• They already said that there will be a fixed supply (500 million total, 750 million max) and only 50% of the total supply will be in circulation at the beginning (this may not be exact). It seems to me that it can be opened with a token number of 250 million at the first opening and a serious part of it can be reserved for rewards (this is completely my opinion, by the way).
