How many BOV can you earn per steak?

The amount of BOV awarded for the first 500 steaks will be pinned to 0.0357 ETH’s worth of BOV (0.0357 ETH is about 10 USD @ $280/ETH). That BOV amount depends on the valuation assigned to BOV during the crowdsale. More info about how the initial prize is calculated. The second thousand steaks (steaks 1001-2000) will only receive half of the initial BOV prize. The prize will continue to halve every 500 steaks. There will be 8 halvings total before no more prize is awarded.

How many steaks can be awarded BOV?

500 steaks can be mined per halving cycle, and there are 8 halvings, so a total of 4500 steaks can be granted a BOV prize.

How will I know when I've been awarded BOV?

If an admin approves your steak, your account will be credited BOV. If your steak was not approved, you will not be awarded. To see if your steak was denied, and to read the admin's justification if it was, check up on your submission manually using the reference number (submissionID) you are issued when you submit the picture.

Madame BOV and several vetted steak-holders. Admins earn 1/3 of the BOV prize of each steak. Madame BOV can appoint and remove voting members.

No, but we will try to judge all submitted steaks fairly.

How much will the money supply be impacted by mining?

If $50k is raised (at $280/ETH), about 2,660,000 BOV can be mined (+24% of the initial 11M BOV). If $1M is raised, only about 133,000 BOV can be mined (+1.2%). Since the initial BOV value is pinned to a static ETH value, the more money raised (the higher the valuation), the fewer BOV can be mined.

For how long can you earn BOV by submitting steak pictures?

There’s a 365-day limit. This madness must end sometime!

You can use and exchange your BOV as long as you want; you just won't be able to submit new pictures after one year.
