Improvement

Cent has been on the daily road to improvement ever since the beta went live late in the Summer of 2017.

Everyday was a constant push for the team to tick the dial of progress forward one mark, but the pace of improvement kicked into high gear last Wednesday when the new sorting system, officially named ICA or the Iterative Comparison Algorithm, was pushed out.

It's crucial to mention that the new sorting system was combined with another new decision to limit the allocation of 80% of every bounty to the top 10 responses - previously every response was eligible to receive a portion of the bounty if it received any up-vote.

A very simple and basic metric - yet supremely important to the overall user experience - is the Leaderboard of the top 100 users based on their take home rewards over the last 30 days. Before the two changes mentioned above were introduced, the highest earners were bringing in $10~15, at most - it was typically lower for months.

In less than a week since ICA went live, the top ranked user @hint is just a few dollars shy of $100! And at the bottom end, only 6 users remain below the $1 threshold - but the 100th ranked user is at 92 cents, so that will change after the next bounty closes and pays out.

Make no mistake, this is just the beginning. There is a lot of room to improve and fine tune the ICA, let alone conceptualize, build out, and iterate the next new features (beginning with original content) that will be introduced into Cent over the next few months.

That said, improvements will continue to roll out at a quicker and quicker pace. They have to in order to get the fly wheel spinning quick enough to attract and entertain new users while keeping existing users delighted and engaged.
