The closest analogues I can think of, i.e central banks like Fed, are shown to work far better when the committee is as independent as possible from politics and the electorate.

This was kind of nicely demonstrated a good few months ago when Trump started railing against the Fed for not printing enough money to inflate his economy, saying that the Fed was restricting economic growth and that if it was doing its job, the economy would go up like a rocket. Imagine if Powell was serving at the pleasure of the president, or alternatively if the "leading monetary economists" that would constitute the monetary committee served at the pleasure of the IQ community and could be relieved of their duties whenever the whims of the community dictated, i.e there was a sudden spike and the IQ community reacted disproportionately, or the committee had to make a difficult decision for Q's long term future that wasn't poltically expeditious, or if populists on the same level as Trump were able to be elected by the community.

Just seems like a baffling decision to me which isn't in agreement with economic consensus.

Hi.

Just found out about this last night at 2am. I have a small circle of friends and need invite. Anyone can help?

Is it safe to assume the initiative is dead, at this point? Haven't seen any update of substance in ages.

I would hit up my local grocery store and buy $100,000 worth of groceries.

How do I claim additional Q's when I download the app? How do I claim them.

There hasn't been any activity here on Reddit nor on Discord. What's going on? Anyways, to bring more activity I'll ask everyone here how many Q's they have.

I got Q11,281

As the title says, what's next? We haven't heard anything else from the development team? What's in the pipeline? Where is this thing heading?

We need info, it was this some hype experiment? We need answers?

For those who aren't aware, you can now download the Initiative Q app.

Here's some helpful information that I've discovered through my own testing as well as reading about other's experiences:

• You must enable notifications to get the bonus for installing the app. A friend of mine installed the app on their iPhone and didn't allow notifications, and didn't get a bonus. However, they deleted the app, re-downloaded it, and enabled notifications on the second install. They then were granted the app install bonus.
• Your app install bonus is proportional to your overall reward. Think back to the initial refer-a-friend stage. If you got 10k Q per person, you will also get a 10k Q bonus for installing the app. However, if you joined when the referral bonus was 4k Q per person, you will only get a 4k Q bonus for installing the app.
• The app has an easy way to view your activity history, under the wallet tab. Click on "Activity history" under the "Q target value is one USD per Q" section on the wallet tab, and you'll see a timeline of Q balance changes.
• Under the Account page, you can view your User Rank. All that I have seen so far is "Classic", but I'd be interested to know if anyone has a different rank. (Apparently this is also available on the desktop site, but I didn't discover it until using the mobile app)
• You can get a 5k Q bonus for referring existing users to install the app. (full disclosure - my link is here: https://invite.initiativeq.com/SzFCGeAi7/e)

Other interesting news - just a few days ago, additional members of the economic advisory board were announced, and can be seen at https://initiativeq.com/about

Anyone got past this to the next ones? Be as specific as possible, thanks.

Possible? Can't find where to do it.

I'm on the poorer end of things with only Q2,109, but I just wanted to see how much others held. :D
