Ayet settlement for the revenue generated in desember has been rolled out. (Timeline: 12/01 ~ 12/31) Claim your share in the settlement report! We are also updating the UI and overall appearance of the Delta Kim app so stay tuned!

A number of users (over a 1000 Deltans) are already managing their credentials on our secure and encrypted password management dApp called 1Pass. However, we'd like to emphasize the fact that the users must exercise caution with handling their "1Pass" passphrases. This passphrase is the only way to decrypt any data a user has stored on 1Pass correctly. If a user loses access to this passphrase, even the Core Team won't be able to assist them because that's just how the design works. In the backend, all user data exists in the form of cipher text (random blob of numbers), which makes it impossible for even the CT to assist anyone if the passphrase ever gets compromised. This is because the passphrase is entirely controlled by the user and the decryption can only happen on the device where the user is currently logged in with their Delta account. On 1Pass, we do provide the passphrase hint (first three characters, the last three characters, and the total length of the passphrase) to all the users, but users must note that every character is case-sensitive.

Ayet's Settlement for the month of August has been rolled out now. It was rolled out yesterday but there was an anomaly with the stats, so we didn't make an announcement. If you accumulated points on Ayet in the month of August, here's how you can claim the settlement: 1) Tap "USCT" on the Home screen; 2) Tap "Settlement" on the USCT Mining page; 3) Tap the orange "$" icon pertaining to the Ayet entry on the Settlement report. Please note: Only 588 users have accumulated points from Ayet in the month of August, so only 588 users are eligible to claim the settlement. GrowDeck and Timewall's settlement will be rolled out later on when they release the payout for August and September respectively.

The offerwall update has been rolled out on iOS as well. iOS users are requested to update the app to Version 1.2.5 from App Store. Apart from the offerwalls, we have also optimized the dApp runtime environment as we prepare to release the "1Pass" dApp in the coming week. At the same time, we're elated to disclose that ever since we integrated the offerwalls, the average daily payout per active user who engages with the Offerwalls has increased by nearly 12X compared to the payout from the ads. At present, We have around 4% of the Daily Active users who interact with Offerwalls, but we're already making ~50% of the revenue we otherwise make with ads. Therefore, we plan to onboard one more offerwall in the coming days, which is believed to improve the average user payout by over 40-50 times compared to the ads if integrated. They have some of the easiest tasks and a lot of these tasks recycle every 24 hours, so the earning potential for the users is much higher compared to traditional offerwalls. Currently, we're trying to negotiate with them on a clause, and if it goes well, we believe it would be great for the users. At the same time, we also request users not to try any games from the "Ray Mobile Games" publisher (Whenever you check a game on Google Play, do ensure you check the publisher name) because they're utmost dishonest and they're refusing to track milestones deliberately. We've already discussed with the GrowDeck Offerwall to remove games from this publisher. We're normally not expected to speak against a particular publisher, but we value everyone's time on Delta. Lastly, please note that offerwalls are just an addition to our USCT Mining module that is completely separate from Delta mining. It's meant to give users a small incentive to stick with the project, and at the same time, develop Delta on the financial front as well. The primary focus will always be to develop the Delta coin as a digital currency that will empower users to engage in meaningful commerce across its dedicated flea marketplace ecosystem.

We pushed a small update a few hours ago on Google Play with another offerwall (Ayet Studios) to increase the inventory of offers across different countries, but it seems some of their offers are unavailable across a number of countries. We're in touch with the network to resolve the same. Until then, please stick with Playtime offers. They've been working great for the users.

It'll take some time (maybe a week or two) to drop a new update on Google Play/App Store. So we'd like to give an update on what's currently being worked upon: 1) 1Pass dApp: We will deploy a secure password storage and management solution called "1Pass" on Delta's "dApp square". Its functionality has been inspired by a reputed password management solution called "1Password". You can Google search "1Password" and learn more about their product. We'll also publish a dedicated whitepaper on "1Pass" dApp soon and it will be completely open-source on GitHub to provide maximum transparency about its architecture. It will be completely free to use and has been developed keeping in mind that the dApp Square should feature high-utility applications. This will directly help build long-term value for the Delta ecosystem. 2) Integrating offerwalls: In order to increase the USCT payout for the users, we have partnered with a few reputed offerwall networks. The current USCT payout and the ads revenue in general has been quite underwhelming, so we decided to venture into other monetization streams in an endeavour to increase the payout for the users. Across these networks, users can complete simple tasks like "Download apps and open", "Download games and reach certain levels", and claim points for these tasks. We have already tried and tested them rigorously, and their milestone-tracking is pretty good. These points can be redeemed as USDT once the payout will be made available through these networks (on a Net 30 basis). We sincerely hope our tie-up with these offerwall networks will significantly increase the USCT payout for the users. However, we'd still like to keep our expectations low and let everyone know in advance it won't be a quick-rich scheme, but we're positive it will be a huge jump over the current rewarded video ads solution. 3) Resolving the Canister Issue (IDL Error: Missing Magic Bytes): At present, we're resolving this issue on priority. A very small fraction of users (<1%) haven't been able to mine for the last two weeks. Debugging and troubleshooting this issue has been quite tricky. Fortunately, we have been able to reproduce this issue on our end and a resolution is expected soon. We'll also consider making an appropriate compensation to the affected users. Note: Please note the "1Pass" dApp solution has nothing to do with access to Delta's accounts. Access to Delta will strictly follow the 3-No-Verification protocol. You can consider "1Pass" as an encrypted vault to store passwords, confidential information, user info, etc. in an end-to-end encrypted environment. Special thanks to @alexs_graphics for helping with the design of 1Pass dApp logo.

The canister error pertaining to DSMS Access Terminal has been resolved now. If your DSMS Access Terminal currently displays the "offline" state, you're requested to send the activation code from your Delta app "DSMS Verifier" screen to your phone with DSMS Access Terminal, and your terminal will go online again and start handling verifications again. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We have officially surpassed 10K followers on X. The growth has been rapid over the last two weeks, and we'd like to thank all the Deltans for being an integral part of the project and supporting us through thick and thin! We have barely started our journey, yet we have received an overwhelming support from the community. No words can sum up the jubilation we embrace every time we hit a milestone. Each milestone we reach fills us with a sense of purpose and pride that words can barely express. We thank you once again for your support, and we'll forever be indebted to the same!

A lot of users have expressed disappointment with the USCT payout. While we understand your disappointment, we request you to give us a chance to clarify a few pointers here and we sincerely hope you'll understand our scenario. Firstly, the advertising revenue generated on our end is not dependent on us; it depends on the ads mediation partner we have partnered with. This ad mediation partner currently provides us with a bunch of ad networks (Unity Ads, MIntegral, Inmobi, etc), which in turn provide us with ads in real time. The industry standard rate (also called RPM) for rewarded video ads is $3-$5 for every 1000 rewarded video ad impressions. This is assuming that the app traffic is global and equivalently distributed between Tier-1, Tier-2 and Tier-3 Countries. With Delta, the app traffic is mostly from Tier-2 and Tier-3 Countries, so the RPM drops significantly under $1.5 for every thousand rewarded video ad impressions. To make this situation worse, we also don't get advertisements from high-bid ad networks like Google Admob, Meta Ads, Applovin, etc. These apex ad networks strictly prohibit ad revenue sharing with the users. Their policies mention it stringently that incentivized advertising for monetary consideration is prohibited. In layman terms, if users are being paid to watch their ads, then there's no point advertising as it dilutes the impact of advertisements. This is why premier ad networks don't advertise with us because we share revenue with the userbase. This lowers the RPM rate even further and brings it down to sub-$0.5 levels for every 1000 rewarded video ads. On a transparent note, in the month of May, we got paid at the rate of $0.396 (~$0.4) for every thousand rewarded ad views, meaning ~$0.0004 for every ad view. We share 60% of this with the community, meaning the community gets $0.00024 for each rewarded video ad view. Each rewarded video ad is worth 6 USCT Points, so this makes the value of 1 USCT ~ $0.00004. This figure will improve by 1.5-2X in the month of July as we have recently incorporated Unity Ads. Considering the harsh feedback we have received despite the best efforts to convince the users about the situation, the Core Team had a detailed discussion earlier today if taking off the USCT Mining should be considered. In line with the discussion, we have concluded that we'll retain the USCT Mining module for the following reasons: 1) We have always been transparent about growing with the community and we have dedicated a specific clause within the whitepaper that the ads revenue will always be shared with the community, even if the amount is less. We believe we aren't forcing anyone to watch the ads, and at the same time, users with large referral networks are making considerable revenue, so we believe taking this module off may disappoint more people than it will appease a handful of people. We request you if you don't wish to watch ads considering the lower payout, you can always choose not to watch the ads. For us, you're equally precious regardless of whether you watch the ads or not. 2) Delta Kim is considerably new in the digital money-mining space, so it's already quite difficult to find quality advertisers at this time. Later down the line, when we have the numbers, we plan to approach and integrate specific brands to advertise with us. This will significantly lead to a boost in revenue and will also allow us to share way more with the audience. One of the community members who's developing a few game dApps for the Delta's dApp Square is also willing to share the ads revenue with the community if their game dApps make any revenue. In the end, we understand your disappointment but at the same time, we hope you'll also understand our scenario. We could easily choose to integrate an ad that would play after tapping the Mine button and that alone would make us way more than we're making right now, but we won't violate our morals and the statements mentioned in the whitepaper. We'll share 60% of the ads revenue generated every month with the community. We appreciate your understanding and support. Happy Mining!

The new Delta Kim update (1.2.0) is taking some time for the review on Google Play. We have tested the beta version of this update with a few Deltans who struggled opening the app earlier (mainly those who had Tecno, Infinix, Redmi, and Itel phones), and those Deltans have reported that the app is now working seamlessly on their devices. Waiting for a speedy review from Google Play, so we can roll the update out quickly! This is expected to significantly lower the average crash rate across devices and bring forth an optimal experience for users who struggled opening the app earlier. A number of optimization-level changes have also been carried out, but we'll make a dedicated post on the patch notes when the update is approved!
