Hello frens, it's me Pipi.
For quite awhile I've been trying to create a marketplace and integrating economy system in here, clearly it didn't work.
But that's fine, I can always do that later.
But right now I have thought about new way we can use chinchin in this forum. For those of you who don't know, chinchin is the currency in this forum, le coins.
How do you earn chinchin?
Right now you can get it from:
Daily login. You will get 1 chinchin per day.
Commenting. You will get 0.25 chinchin per comment.
Creating a new post/discussion. You will get 0.5 chinchin per post/discussion.
When someone liked your post. You will get 0.15 chinchin per like.
You get them monthly when joining plus membership. You will get 50 chinchin monthly if you join plus, and you will get 100 chinchin if you join plus ultra
How do you use them?
You can use chinchin to unlock direct link to a post by purchasing them.
Instead of clicking on links with shortlinks in it, you can just unlock it using your chinchin.
I'll show you an example

Normally, when you want to download the files, you would click on the shortlink on number 1.
However not everyone like ads. I don't run any ads on my website/forum to keep the user experience good, so the only way I earn money to keep this running is through shortlinks. I hope you understand that 🙂.
How do you unlock the direct link using chinchin?
On the image above, on number 2, you can see 'Pay To See Content'. that means there's something hidden there, until you unlocked it. Go to number 3 where it says 'Purchase Content', and lick on that.

Then press confirm

Voila! you have unlocked the direct link!
So that's how you use chinchin to unlock direct link to a post.
Pipi, why do you have to hide the direct link?
There's reason for that. It's to promote engagement.
This way, people will be more active in commenting/posting and in general will create a more active and alive community.
We need more people posting in here, to keep the community alive and discussion going.
Alright I think that's it. I hope this works well, and if you guys have anything to ask, or any critique/ideas please comment below. Thank you!
