207 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 1 Feb \ parent \ on: Incentivizing Bitcoiners To Do Chores bitcoin
Expanding on your idea a bit. Think about an enterprise application and Saylor has talked about this. There are countless trainings, policies and procedures etc that corporations undertake that could offer sat bonuses for completion or incrementally through the process to enhance engagement (I really want to pay attention here because I get 50 sats if I get a perfect score on the quiz at the end- as opposed to let me get through this, if I get 3/5 I still pass)
When I had my business, one of our biggest customers was office furniture/cabinetry manufacturer. They had some sort of employee training going on multiple times per week. Those were formal sessions where they gather groups of people in a room for training but there could also be more informal training/development initiatives where they could use sats as an incentive.
For example, last year I was working a p/t contract job for a custom home builder ensuring their various regional offices had all their compliance documentation (drawings, contracts, site checklists- etc etc) uploaded and filed properly to the shared company database. As all jobs do, the position required a bit of training and reviewing of policies and procedures etc, but their HR and training dept would send out periodic short training videos, documents, quizzes that you would need to complete by x date. In my case, because I was a contractor and my contract stated I must be up to date on all relevant training in order to validate my hours and have my invoice paid I had a lot of incentive. But this got me thinking what if a training and development department wanted continuous training on SOPs, H&S, customer service, company principles, cybersecurity and so on. What if they wanted to just remind employees of best practices. They could do weekly short 5 minute training sessions on various things and reward users for completion with sats. If completed within a given amount of time (say first 48 hours) you get some bonus sats.
To me it makes sense that this would incentivize not only completion but timely completion, and engagement as well.
yeah great point.
there are so many jobs and tasks in the economy that nobody really wants to do (yet are necessary), and this could be a useful way to nudge people to complete them well.
being able to reward super small actions with appropriate pay in real-time seems to be the big unlock.
prior to lightning payments, making super small payments wouldn’t have been feasible or instant.
