thanks @andrey – don’t forget us when you’re the president of Ukraine!
we already have a few badges for referrals:
if you notice, it’s not just the number of referrals, but also the quality of the user – we do this through the use of ‘trust levels’: user -> basic -> member. this will help guard against spam.
as for other initiatives - absolutely agree! there are some great ideas in this thread already – am happy to support anyone who would like to spearhead their own initiative.
so… this initiative was approved for 2 months, and thanks to everyone here, we’ve hit our goals:
while we’ve laid the foundation now for self-sufficiency, funds come out of the DAO, so it’s continuance is dependent on vote. i’ll be keeping it running for as long as original funding remains, finish up the work @binh and i started on the bug-related badges, and certainly hope to at least run the monthly awards –
BUT it’s now up to the board (@duy @andrey @chi @zon) to decide whether we’ll continue to invest resources in this initiative long-term. 
will be posting any updates here. personally, i’ve had a great time with this. hope you did too! fingers crossed we keep getting to do this 
Hey Ning! Excellent results! We’ve just released the remaining funding. long live badges!
So I read nearly this whole post well skimmed and didn’t see anything about getting e-mails for your community rewards. Its an email I dont check often and I have a Total of 12 rewards netting me 12 PRV but at the time of all these emails I had no idea about this and did not have my incognito address in my profile. Since then I have added it to the correct space (yes I checked and this thread confirmed) but I still have not seen any PRV dropped in my account.
Now I did notice in the emails that each PRV community reward is paid out on a Thursday so did I miss my reward and loose out because I didnt have my account number in my profile or will it all just drop this upcoming Thursday?
Yes, they’ll all be sent to you on Thursday 
Woohoo!!!..I earned me some prv thru my badges earned. Honestly I think this is the first time I have ever earned something like this and it is with heartfelt gratitude that I thank the community for it. I hope to continue being of service to the community and the project. Thank you once again…and now let me go stake them prvs…hehehe…
Hey @ning so through the emails I got saying I got certain rewards all added up to 12 PRV theough the 12 badges I earned but only 3 PRV dropped today. Any ideas?
Hm. Odd. Let me check and get back to you.
Hey @ning so the 3 that dropped were 3 badges i earned that week. The 12 from previous weeks never dropped once I put my incognito address in.
Hey @rolltide, are you certain the emails said 12 PRV? A lot of the badges don’t earn any PRV, while some earn more than 1 each.
It does not say 12 anywhere I just checked my proton email that I dont typically use and had about 8 or 9 emails from you guys awarding 1 or 2 PRV for all the badges I earned. Just was unaware and did not have an address in my profile yet. I counted the number I should have had and it was 12 and when I first asked about it I was told they should have all updated last tuesday or whenever you send out PRV rewards. No dice, so if you can help get those 12 rewards that would be great, thanks man!
If you don’t have your address in your account, it sends the same email amounts until you put it and then they’re paid out. So it’s possible it was just one week of 1 PRV and one of 2 PRV, but I’ll DM you and we can figure it out for sure!
Oooop, post was in wrong spot!
