Voting in the content factory is all about your choices. All free requests will run through a voting process. Users will vote using MPXR. You will not lose the MPXR, but it will temporarily be locked until the voting is closed. For a detailed explanation click here. 

Requests are batched before they go to voting stations. Batching period is 48 hours. Once batching has started all requests launched during 48 hours will be batched as one group. Then after 48 hours requests under that batch will pass to voting, voting will be open for another 48 hours. During voting time, new requests will start making the second batch.

Only the top 5 requests will pass to the job registry as winners. Highest net vote (upvotes minus downvotes) determine the winner.

You can participate in single or multiple votes. For example, say you have 53 MPXR and you want to vote on five content requests. You can divide your MPXR tokens between the five requests as you like, putting 20 tokens for Content Request 1 (because it’s most important to you), 15 tokens for request 2, 10 for request 3, and so on. These votes can be either upvotes or downvotes.

We do not live in a perfect world; disputes will happen. Let’s say your paid-requests process was not satisfactory and all the contents submitted are not up to your standard. You can appeal to the editorial team for refund (not to pay the promised MPX) and not to publish the content. The editorial team, before validating the appeal, will review the submission thoroughly. 

Before this, you have to follow the following step. 

• Ranking the submissions you accepted! 

You have to rank all the submissions you accepted before appealing to the editorial team (if you issued a multiple submission request involving 5 content creators, and if you rejected 4 submissions and accepted only 1, then that is ranked as 1st place and you have to rank it as that. If you rejected 3 submissions and accepted 2, then you have to rank these 2 submissions and identify which is your 1st place and which is your 2nd place. So on and so on). You are not expected to rank the submissions you rejected and you can leave those unranked. 

Note: Remember, you can also reject all submissions (if it is what you feel) and in this case you are not expected to rank the submissions. 

• Submit your appeal along with your ranking   

There are two types of findings (verdicts) after any such appeal. The editorial team will decide: 1) the content creator is just submitting to get paid and the content is fake, or 2) the content creator has really worked on the content, but the content somehow is not good. 

In cases where the verdict of the editorial team fits scenario number 1 (where the content creator is just trying to fool everyone), the payment will be canceled. Furthermore, the content creator will be punished and certain reputation tokens (MPXR) will be deducted.

In cases where the Verdict is scenario 2, where the attempt is genuine but the content is below the expected quality, here is where the Minimum and Maximum Guarantee comes in handy. Since we need to protect Content Creators who genuinely worked their very best but are not lucky,  we need to guarantee their payment. So if the editorial team decided (after evaluating your appeal and the submission), the agreed guarantee will be deducted. The default guarantee for single submission is 9% and the default guarantee for multiple submissions is 15%. While you can increase the guarantee, you cannot decrease it.

Guarantee Distribution 

The default minimum guarantee amount for single submission is 7% while 15% minimum guarantee is a must for multiple submission. In order to attract content creators, we encourage you to raise the guarantee amount. 

The guarantee distribution in single submission is straightforward: the content creator will get 7% of the promised payment. 

The guarantee distribution for multiple submissions will depend on the success of the other competing content creators. Below are more examples to elaborate the process.   

Example One: when all submissions are rejected by you, and all the Verdict (of the editorial team) is scenario 2 (all content creators deserve the guarantee payment), the allocated guarantee will be splitted equally between the rejected content creators. 

Guarantee=15%(Total Payment)/Number of Content Creators

Example Two: when you have accepted some of the submissions and rejected the rest, and then the Verdict (of the editorial team) is mixed (out of the submissions you rejected, some submissions are in scenario 1 and some are in scenario 2), the guarantee is calculated as follows:

All accepted appeals (your rejections) will be automatically ranked as bottom places. (Let’s say in a request that involves 5 submissions, you ranked 1 of them as 1st place submission and appeal to the editorial team not to pay for the remaining 4 submissions. Then let’s say the editorial team evaluated the submissions and gave the verdict that out of the 4 submissions, 3 deserve the guaranteed payment and 1 doesn’t. In this case, you have one accepted appeal so the amount you have allocated for 5th place will be excluded from deduction as an unpayable bottom place reward.     

Guarantee= 15%(Remaining balance/Number of Content Creators)

Remaining Balance= Total payment-(Paid Payment + Bottom Unpaid Amount) 

If you want well-researched content, we recommend that you use the paid-content request approach. Paid requests are content requests where our users back their content request via our utility token. (We are optimizing our Content Factory process and will update this page shortly to address any change. 

Once paid requests pass through legal review, they will go directly to the job registry, skipping the voting procedure. Every Paid Content Request will have a payment guarantee, as explained in the next paragraphs.

Among other parameters, you can set the following requirement, on any Paid Content Request: 

• Deadline for submission
• Minimum MPXR required from content creators to claim the job
• Tone (Formal, Academic, Business, Sponsored)
• Type (one time, series), 
• Licensing Type (Open Access, Copyright, Copyleft)
• Payment amount in USD or MPX 

There are two types of Paid Content requests: Single Submission and Multiple Submission.

SingleSubmission paid Content Request

The process in single submission is straightforward: you will make the content request, deposit the exact amount of MPX you are willing to pay, and then the job will go to our Job Registry and wait there to be claimed by  content creators. Once it is claimed, it will no longer be visible for other content creators. 

The default minimum payment to issue a single submission is 500 MPX, but you can raise the bar.

MultipleSubmission Paid Content Request

Instead of one content creator, you can request submission from different content creators. To avoid topic repetition, the maximum number of content creators that can work on one single contract is 5.

The default minimum MPX to issue multiple submissions is 1,800. Even though all content creators  are rewarded, Mindplex will publish only three contents. Don’t forget to raise the bar so you can attract more content creators. 

The default reward sharing is as follows: 55% for the best submission, 35% to be shared between 2nd and 3rd place submissions, and 10% between the bottom two. 

Once you receive the submissions, you can rank them. Furthermore, you can play with the percentage shares except for 1st place; the default split is 20% for 2nd place, 15% for the 3rd place, 6% for 4th place, and 4% for 5th place. We gave you room to play so you can change the parameters; second place reward can be set between 20% and 18%, 3rd place can be set between 17% and 15%, 4th place can be set between 8% and 6%, while 5th place can be set between 4% and 2%.

The default reward sharing for 4 submissions is as follows: 55% for the best submission, 40% to be shared between 2nd and 3rd place submissions, and 5% for 4th place. Furthermore, you can play with the percentage shares except for 1st place and 4th place; the default split between 2nd and 3rd place is 25% for 2nd place and 15% for the 3rd place. We gave you room to play so you can change the parameters; second place reward can be set between maximum 28% and minimum 21%, while 3rd place can be set between maximum 19% and minimum 12%.

The default reward sharing for 3 submissions is as follows: 55% for the best submission and 45% to be shared between 2nd and 3rd place submissions. Furthermore, you can play with the percentage shares except for 1st place; the default split between 2nd and 3rd place is 25% for 2nd place and 20% for the 3rd place. We gave you room to play so you can change the parameters; second place reward can be set between maximum 30% and minimum 25%, while 3rd place can be set between maximum 20% and minimum 15%.

The default reward sharing for 2 submissions is as follows: 55% for the best submission and 45% for 2nd place submission.

Most content on the planet is created free of charge, look at the largest social media platforms (You Tube, Facebook, Twitter, Tik Tok), or the most known free online encyclopedias (Wikipedia, Scholarpedia, Conservapedia). They generate all this content because humans are storytellers. So you can rely on these beautiful story tellers and ask them to create content on the topics you prefer. We believe our community is full of storytellers as well!

If your request makes it through legal review, it will go to the voting stage. If the majority of the community loves it, you will win the voting stage, which means your request will pass to the job registry. From there, story tellers, experts, researchers, gurus (those who are qualified) will claim it.

You are not expected to pay the Content Creator, but if you want you can tip!

Among other parameters, you can set the following requirements on any free content request: 

• Deadline for submission
• Minimum MPXR required from content creators to claim the job.

Note: All content submitted through the free content request will be owned by Mindplex, so  you will not enjoy playing with Parameters related to licensing and copyrights.

Warning: requesting illegal content (such as  child pornography, name-calling, bullying, or hate speech) will result in a serious reputation reduction and an eventual account deletion. Please see our Constitution to understand the blurry and philosophically challenging line between freedom of speech and illegal content.

The Content factory will allow you to request content. The content can be text (article), audio (podcast), or video (short video documentary etc), and image (meme, gif, cartoon, etc).

If you want the community to create content, you have two options: Paid Request and Free Request.
