Gairm

Devnet

A feed of actual people.

What it is

Gairm is a feed where every account belongs to a person who proved it — and proves it again every week, so an account cannot quietly outlive the human behind it.

What rises here is what has been posted by people who have earned the standing to be heard. Not what an algorithm learned would keep you scrolling, and not what a post's own virality dragged upward. Gairm means a calling-out — a voice raised to be heard. That is the idea: not a feed you scroll past, but a voice you know belongs to one real person, heard at the volume they have actually earned.

How it works

You've already proven you're a unique human (your Anam) — these are the steps that follow.

1
Post for free
Posting is free by default. Your post enters the feed attributed to your username, with your honour-price (Enech) behind it.
2
The feed ranks on merit
A post's place is its author's standing divided by how long it's been up. No likes, no shares, no dwell time — none of it is in the sum, because none of it is collected. Boosting doesn't multiply that. It buys the post extra freshness — a few hours, capped at two days — so a boost helps something arrive, it doesn't make it louder than someone with more standing.
3
Boost to reach further (optional)
When your need for reach is high, boost a post in increments of 10 points (50 $BONN per point). It lifts the post's rank and can be rep-gated so only people above a bar see it — and the spend flows into the community vault, funding $BONN for everyone.
4
The community self-polices
Anyone can ask a Dáil (a jury of verified peers) to review a post for a guideline or ethics breach. Peers decide — and both the reporter and the poster have their own standing on the line, so neither does it lightly.
5
Reputation moves with the verdict
Contributing well and reporting honestly raise your Enech; bad posts and frivolous reports lower it. Your honour-price travels with your wallet rather than living in a profile — and each week it pays out in $BONN.

The loop

What you gain

Enech — your honour-price, raised by posts people found worth reading and by reporting honestly.
A weekly $BONN payout scaled by that standing, from the community vault.
A feed with no bots in it, where what you read was written by someone who exists and is accountable for it.
Reach that comes from being worth reading rather than from posting constantly.

What $BONN is for

Boosts — 50 $BONN per point when a post genuinely needs to travel further.
Reputation-gating a boosted post, so it reaches readers who have built standing of their own.
Bounties over on Eolas, when you need an answer from someone who knows.

Posting is free and always will be — boosting is for the times it genuinely matters. When you do boost, all of it tops up the community vault that funds everyone's weekly payout. You spend what you earned writing well on the things you cannot do yourself, and the rest of it circulates back to the people doing the same.

Know the risks

This is real, staked participation — not a feed you can throw away. Before you take part, understand what you can lose.

A boost is spent, not lent. A boost costs 50 $BONN a point and it's gone — every coin of it into the community vault that pays everyone weekly. You're buying reach, not renting it.
Reporting is free, but not consequence-free. If the jury approves the post — or can't agree — you were wrong, and it costs you 3 Enech, or a tenth of what you hold if that's more. Putting your own standing behind a report is the thing that stops reporting becoming a weapon.
A jury can take your post down. If a report against you is upheld, the post goes and you lose 3 Enech, or a tenth of what you hold if that's more. Eight peers have to agree, and each of them is staking their own standing on the call.
You can't just start over. One verified human maps to one account. A damaged reputation can't be escaped by spinning up a fresh account — there are no alts to hide behind.

The principles

Money buys time near the top, not rank

A boost doesn't multiply your standing. A boosted post is held for a jury first, so it arrives later than an unboosted one — and then ranks as though it were new, because the time it spent in moderation doesn't count against it. The bonus is the square root of what you spend, capped at two days, so past that more money buys nothing at all. Money can buy attention here; it can never buy enough to drown out earned standing.

Boosting pays the people who do the work

A boost puts your own post through a moderation jury and lets you set how much standing a reader needs to see it. Every coin of what you pay goes to the community vault — the pot that pays everyone weekly — and the jurors are paid in standing, like every other jury here. A boost buys attention, so it funds whoever has actually shown up rather than the eight people who happened to draw a paid post.

Moderation is decided by a jury, and reporting is not free

Nobody moderates Gairm from above. Anyone can report a post and it costs no money — but it costs standing if the jury disagrees with you, and gains standing if they agree. Putting your own reputation behind a report is what stops reporting becoming a weapon.

An audience is worth something, but not everything

Followers add standing every week, but on a square root: your first followers are worth far more than your thousandth. Following costs the other way round — past a free allowance of twenty-five, each person you follow costs a flat amount every week, and the twenty-sixth costs exactly what the two-hundredth does. Diminishing on one side, flat on the other, is what makes reciprocal follow-farming a losing trade: past a point, each extra follower returns less than the follow it cost you.

Every number behind this — costs, splits and payouts
