Hi Everyone, It all started a year back, and we were working on How we can evolve Ref - https://www.desidime.com/forums/hot-deals-onlin... Today we have taken a big step, and now we moving out of earning only 20 Dimes per front page deal. We have been working on so many permutations and combinations, as how the structure should be and how to develop a better environment for Dimers where we can highlight good deals and still award dimers who are putting in their effort in finding best deals. Over the time we have introduced hotness for deals by setting different parameters in the algorithm, and that has displayed that community is mature enough to decide which deal is good and which isn't. What has changed The way Dimers will earn Dimes. From Today onwards admin team will not promote any FPD and now system will decide what needs to be highlighted on homepage, depending upon the deal hotness and its activity. Now that we are removing 20 Dimes per front page deal. System is going to evaluate deals on the basis on hotness and many other algorithm. And accordingly Dimes will be allocated. It means a good deal can earn upto 200 Dimes and a not so good deal may give you less than 1 Dime also. Why Dimes are Not reflecting in my account From Today onwards for every deals shared today, dimers will earn dime after 5 days for same deal. Today its 27th Nov 2018. Dimes for all deals shared today will reflect in your account 2nd Dec 2018. Why are we doing this, is because every deal which is shared takes some time to earn hotness. And after closely evaluating deals and its hotness over last few months, we have decided that 5 days is enough for a deal and its life cycle. So During that time frame, whatever hotness a deal earns and depending upon other factors, Dimes for all such deals will be accumulated and it will be credited by system on 5th Day. So Please note from 27th - 2nd Dec there wont be increase in Dimes(via Deals) in anyones account. And it will start reflecting post 2nd Dec. Where are My Past FPD's Count Dont worry, we have all that data saved and it will continue to display under your profile page. New badges We have also introduced new activity badges. Depending upon Number of deals with hotness, you will be able to earn those badges. Starting from Beacon--Flame--Blaze and goes upto inferno--supernova. We will keep you posted on other new features which we will be introducing.

So since its algorithm, I cannot put exact number…

But if someone is say posting 30 or 50 or 100 sub-standard deals or very very low quality deals (Let me say spams).. in such cases, user may end up getting 0 dimes.

End of the day, Users sharing high quality deals will benefit. coz thats waht . we all want as community… really good deals.

Do karma gets added when deal hotness go beyond 1000 degree or more?
Karma and dimes co-relation is positive or opposite?

Currently no…

There is no direct co-relation between dimes and Karma… Karma is added when deals goes above 100, 200 and 500 hotness respectively.

This is not happening. I see the same deals Hot section from morning till now is this because of new changes to the way how the display works or No great deals coming in. I feel I’m missing the best deals. Losing interest to check page. What you say, guys?

The credit was already given… which means you will end up getting dimes since you were first one to update the thread with all deals.

I have 2 questions regarding credits & hotness , 1- If a deal reaches 300 degrees in 5 days and reaches 1000 degrees in 10 days , so credits will be given to 300 degrees or 1000 degrees ? , 2- Yesterday Udemy deal reached more than 600 degrees in 3 hours and decreases to “0” in 3:30 hours and again reaches to 372 at 4:00 hour , do lost hotness will not get added to deals ? This system issue happened to other dimers as well , it should be corrected immediately !

@syed786 we have merged it.

1. Hotness is calculated for 5 days only.
2. It may change if dimers are voting it down. we have cross checked and there is no system bug as such.

This whole system is too opaque and I am really surprised they remaining dimers just accept it without any attempt at clarification (maybe I am wrong and somewhere someone has asked)
Please add a column showing which thread we get the dimes for
Today I got 2 dimes. Please tell me for which thread it is
Is it for the 26th
https://www.desidime.com/forums/hot-deals-onlin...
Or the 27th
https://www.desidime.com/forums/hot-deals-onlin...

In both cases, the credit should go to me because I finished the 5 deals first. In the 2nd thread Nigel has explicitly stated it will go to me
Now my questions are:
1) For which day it is?
2) Did the credit go to me or someone else and if so why?
3) Does hotness of 569 and 638 degrees equate to only 2 dimes? If so, many of us are wasting our time posting here

Thank you, in advance, for replying

Though i cannot see exact dimes, but i think it would have increased by 2.6 Dimes

It was for 27th btw…

To be frank, that deal would have never made to FPD in old system… so you still got 2.6 times more than what you would have got it old system.

That deal only 6 people voted up while 2 voted down.

Also dimes is not directly co-related with hotness. Some deals with 400-500 hotness also gets upwards of 20 dimes.

@admin @bumblefoot
Today I got only 3 dimes
I think my 5 days older deals deserve more dimes because few of them have more than 500° hotnees
Let it be checked

@admin
Please indicate against each thread (where you indicate the degrees of hotness), the dimes as well. Also please indicate the person who will get the dimes
These 3 pieces of info should be visible to every member of DD not just for their own threads but other people’s threads as well
It will help bring better deals
Plus it will avoid arguments and save the time of admins (I for one would not want to argue with neelaksh or MJ1996) if the thread is worth only 1-2 dimes.
Please do this on a priority basis (and not the usual glacial speed at which DD moves in terms of software)
Thank you

Is it pointless to post upcoming deals now?

@admin @bumblefoot @anthrax.ut

This deals was posted 6 days before going live. The hotness will only increase when deal is live and bumped to front page. So am I wasting my time posting these deals, as dimes have already been credited within 5 days

Hi,

While submitting the deal, we request you to add correct start date accordingly… It will help system to understand that its upcoming deal and it will adjust credits accordingly on start date + 5 days.

Hope that helps. We keep adding start date but sometimes it might happen we might miss out a deal or two.
