Payouts¶

A blockchain parameter (defined by shareholders through the committee) defines the daily available budget. No more than that can be paid at any time to all workers combined.

The daily budget is distributed as follows:

• The available budget is taken out of reserves pool.
• The budget items are sorted according to their approval rate (Pro - Con) in a descending order.
• Starting at the worker with the highest approval rate, the requested daily pay is payed until the daily budget is depleted.
• The worker with the least approval rate that was paid may receive less than the requested pay

Hence, in order to be successfully funded by the BitShares ecosystem, the shareholder approval for your budget item needs to be highly ranked.

Since the payments for workers from the non-liquid reserve pool result in an increased supply of BTS, these payments are vesting over a period of time defined by shareholders.

Working for BitShares¶

In order to be get paid by BitShares, a proposal containing

• the date of work begin,
• the date of work end,
• a daily pay (denoted in BTS),
• the worker’s name, and
• an internet address.

has to be publish on the blockchain and approved by shareholders.

A worker can also choose on of the following properties:

• vesting: pay to the worker’s account
• refund: return the pay back to the reserve pool to be used for future projects
• burn: destroys the pay thus reducing share supply, equivalent to share buy-back of a company stock.

Pseudo Workers¶

Three types of pseudo workers exist that are not primarily used to for salary.
