Ecency: The Free Spin Experiment | Week #4
Hello Hivians!
I have recently been introduced to Ecency and it has now become my default "blockchain-based social media platform" or frontend for Hive. If you are not familiar with the platform, it essentially allows you to earn points by doing the tasks you would ordinarily do on any other frontend such as PeakD or LeoFinance.
How to earn points?
- Posting - 15 points
- Commenting - 5 points
- Reblogging - 1 point
- Curating - 0.1 x vote weight
- Heartbeat - 0.25 points
- 1,000 HP Delegation - 100 points per day
- Login - 10 points
- Consistent Use - 10 points
- Posts in your community - 20 points per post from ecency users
- Daily Spin - Random amount of points from 1 to 45
What can you do with these points?
- Boost your posts - 150 points for a $1 upvote
- Promote your posts - 150 points for 1 day of promotion
- Gift to other users - Send 0.001 points or more to any other user
What's the point of this post?
This series of posts is a weekly series where I would like to track just how many Free Spins it takes to earn 150 points ($1 upvote). This post also serves as a weekly reminder to claim your free spin!
How can I claim my free spin?
You need to use the Ecency mobile app in order to claim your free daily spin. You can download it on Google Play Store or the iOS Store. If you are unsure where to find the free spin in the mobile app then I would suggest following this guide from @jan2x.
What are the results?
So... I am starting to get suspicious that the free spin isn't really random...

| 17 | 1 | 17 |
| 18 | 1 | 18 |
| 19 | 1 | 19 |

| 25 | 1 | 25 |
| 26 | 1 | 26 |
| 27 | 1 | 27 |

I believe the graph says it all...
Stay tuned to find out just how long it actually takes... I really hope it isn't 150 days, which seems to be the current run rate...
Yay! 🤗

I have found that the more active I am, the bigger my free spin rewards are! Give it a try,
Hmm... That's interesting... I'm really curious to know how the algorithm works.
I'll give it a try! Otherwise, I will see you in another 122 days when I finally receive my 150 points from the Free Spin 😂
I'm pretty active, but most of my spins land on 30-40 points

I never had your patience to track every free spin. But I do remember a few weeks ago I got 5 free Ecency points from my daily spin. Later, I noticed that on some days, the app comes back to the spin 'button' and if you're quick enough, you can tap for another free spin.
Interesting. I will give it a try to see if it works or not 😁
Yeah, I thought it would be interesting to track so people can see whether it is worth it or not... So far, the numbers don't look so great hey...
It didn't work for me today for this account. But you can see repeat winnings in my points history for other days. Also, I'm experimenting with a business account for ways to move from Web2 to Web3. Early days, so there's not much activity on that account. Except for 4-in-a-row Spin and Wins a few minutes ago at the History section in https://ecency.com/@goutpal/points 😁 Happy Days!
I thought the free spin thing went away! I have net seen it in ages 🤣
Nope, didn't go anywhere :D Give it a go, maybe you will have better luck than me 😂
I tried actually, couldn’t find it! Maybe cuz I’m limited to the phone app?
