What do you think? …

Love the idea of aligning users and publishers in the attention economy but a few questions: 1) Users can cash out points for things that have a set cost (this is different than in Brave). Since there is a fixed cost, you have to get the monetization from somewhere. What's your future plan here? Do you fund rewards from charging publishers or promotional ads etc? 2) There are some large publications on the site right now. Are they real users, or have you seeded your marketplace by adding them without their involvement? 3) Your privacy policy is a bit alarming, it gives you rights to collect things like passport details, financial details including account numbers and income, usernames and **passwords**, private keys for crypto wallets, etc. Some of these things may be used in financial due diligence for payout KYC/AML or for publishers or advertisers, but, the entire collection of PII is currently eligible to be shared with third-parties and used for advertising. Can you explain why you need rights to so much data, what its used for and how its protected? (And, are you willing to restructure your privacy policy, to be more segmented and conditional where certain personal information is exempt from marketing clauses?)

Hey @adamscochran 👋 1) We did a private token sale about a year ago. Eventually Sendy points will be pegged to an exchange rate with the token and have a floating USD value once we launch them on an exchange. 2) Right now most of the bigger publications are seeded by us. We've been getting them new subscribers for about 1c each, so we eventually hope we can move them over to running their own listing. 3) You're right on this, that privacy policy was up for the token sale and its been an oversight by us to update it now that the product is up and running. We'll get the team on it. Thanks for pointing that out!

Sounds like a great idea, but having signed up and gone to the 'redeem' section, it appears that to achieve a $10 gift card, you need 20,000 'sendy points'. With the average open being worth 20 sendy points - that's 1,000 opens. Seems excessive, no?

@glittersignal Was wondering about this.

@glittersignal We're hoping as we grow there will be more competition and the price per open will increase. Most networks started with pretty low CPCs, facebook, twitter, adwords etc.
