Hi DSound tribe! :)

Welcome to the dawn of a new and stronger DSound Community.

The first version of the DSound Love Machine is coming to town very, very soon!

Get ready for the DSound Love Machine

DSound is all about spreading love within one of the largest music and sound creator communities in Steem - so the new curation engine that we are developing has been named DSound Love Machine! :)

If you want to know more about it, please refer to this post: DSound Community Update: Get ready for DSound Love Machine!

There you can find all information about this new curation engine.

DSound Love Machine will soon start payouts to delegators, so if you find a transfer from the @dsound.gain account - you know where it came from... ;)

Call for delegators - Be there or be Square

The DSound community calls for delegators that love music as much as we do! :)

We don't want the big whales to delegate just for profit's sake. There is no way for us to compete with the other existing bid bots, that don't support any community or have any impact of any kind (other than "bidbotting") in the Steem ecosystem...

The big whales that we want to encourage to delegate to DSound are the ones that come for the love of music, and stay to support creators and multiple music initiatives within the steem platform - while still getting nice profit over their investment!

DSound and the music community on Steem is huge and really deserves this!

Come join us and help us continuing our journey, by empowering creators all over the world to make what they know best: music and any other sound content! ;)

Why it is important to delegate the sooner you can?

Because the DSound Love Machine will take into account when the delegations were made, as well as their continuity. The delegators that stay for longer will get more rewards than the ones that just started more recently...

So do make up your mind and join us!

You don't have to have millions - actually we prefer to have 10,000 minnows who delegate 100 SP than a single whale that delegates 1,000,000 SP - and we know you understand why! :D

Exclusive delegator programs

In order to properly repay the love, we have created two exclusive membership programs with many benefits for our delegators...

DSound Lovers

Today we took a snapshot of our delegators and so our DSound Lovers have been identified!

DSound has counted with many delegators for a very long time, and after Steemit Inc removed their delegation - many more have decided to sponsor our community.

And after our last post, a big number of other new fellow music and sound lovers and creators have also delegated.

We truly believe these guys are amazing and so deserve to have an incentive for their help. After all, even when the DSound team was caught by surprise with the delegation removal and that full development of the platform would take little while longer - they were the bold supporters that jumped in and helped us out!

These will from now on be the very exclusive group of DSound Lovers, limited to a grand total of 100 members, representing the top ones that took the leap-of-faith to help the community through thesethro difficult times.

Being a member of the DSound Lovers means you will have many benefits, including:

• Up to 100% increase in weight calculation for payouts for the delegation
• Up to 50% increase in weight calculation for post voting
• Exclusive benefits in the future (TBA)

This snapshot took into account many factors and the weight calculated is based on the amount each member delegated to @dsound account.

We took into account also that some of our delegators had to move funds to help other initiatives while we were developing the first version of the engine. If you were one of these cases, please take your time and delegate again in the next two weeks and please do so with at least the amount shown on the snapshot, in order to keep your DSound Lover status.

If you can’t delegate that amount anymore don’t worry, you can still join the Early Bird delegators.

DSound Early Birds

If you missed the qualification for DSound Lovers - don’t be sad - we've got you covered!

There is still time to qualify for Early Bird delegator and to also get some benefits from your support!

In two weeks, on February 24th, 0:00 AM UTC, a new snapshot will be taken, and this time up to 200 new delegators will be qualified as Early Birds.

All the delegators that couldn’t qualify for DSound Lovers are already in the pool to be considered for Early Birds...

Please keep in mind that the more you delegate, the higher your chance of qualifying! As you can see in the table above, almost any amount can be qualified, but the benefits will be directly proportional to your support... :)

Being a DSound Early Birds member means you will have access to many benefits, including:

• Up to 50% increase in weight calculation for payouts for the delegation
• Up to 25% increase in weight calculation for post voting
• Exclusive benefits in the future (TBA)

Common considerations

All calculations will take into account many parameters, in order to identify and rank the effort and level of involvement of each member.

Both DSound Lovers and Early Birds are exclusive membership programs that will NOT admit any more members!

When the next snapshot will be taken, those will be the members of each program and will maintain that status and benefits for as long as they keep their delegation or if they decide to increase it.

In case they decide to decrease or to remove the delegation - they will lose their membership and benefits of their respective "club" - even if in the future they decide to re-delegate to DSound.

So please consider delegating to @dsound account ASAP to get these exclusive benefits for life!

Please share with all the people you know that might be interested in making some money by helping our community!

We all win when new members join our delegation effort, and our tribe deserves it...

Roadmap

• Implement DSound Love Machine initial engine and start spreading love
• Make an official public call for delegators to @dsound
• Select an initial pool of DSound curators
• Get the curation team up and running, for that they can work on selecting the DSound Love Machine challenge
• Incorporate DSound verified creator on DSound dapp, so that these accounts appear with a "check" mark next to their user name
• Continue to develop the DSound Love Machine engine to support all features, while having it running for testing
• Fine tune the weight parameters and finalize the bid market

The first version is getting developed and during these next two weeks will be starting to operate and being tested, so please expect some changes in the percentages of vote and maybe some downtime on the engine while upgrading...

We are so excited with this new curation engine being developed! It will start with a minor set of features, but will support post promotion and many other things already, get ready for DSound Love Machine! ;)

• But, still don't know what DSound is? Where did you park your spaceship?

But, still don't know what DSound is?

It's ok... You are at the right place!

Let's share what it is with you right now...

What is DSound?

DSound is a decentralized web application that allows anyone to upload, listen and discover music and other sounds stored on top of the IPFS Network.

It uses STEEM blockchain as a persistent database, so by posting their sounds the authors can earn rewards in cryptocurrency, when other users like their content, which can be exchanged easily to US Dollars, Euros or any other currency, with a look and feel very similar to Soundcloud.
