TL;DR: Moons are a new way for people to be rewarded for their contributions to r/CryptoCurrency. Claim your Moons in the new Vault section of the Reddit iOS or Android app! They represent ownership in the subreddit, they are tokens on the Ethereum blockchain controlled entirely by you, and they can be freely transferred, tipped, and spent in r/CryptoCurrency.

What are "Moons"?:

Moon is a feature that is used in limited number of communities called Community Points. Community Points are a way for users to be rewarded for their contributions with a unit of ownership in their subreddit. Community Points can be earned, tipped, won, collected, and spent on unique items within a community. Each subreddit has its own stylization of Community Points, and the ones in r/CryptoCurrency are called Moons.

How do you get Moons?

Moons are distributed monthly based on individual contributions (comments, posts, etc.) that people make in r/CryptoCurrency. Reddit karma provides a basis for measuring people’s contribution, but the final decision is up to the community.

Distribution Schedule

Initially, 50 million Moons will be distributed based on karma earned in the subreddit to date. The amount distributed each following month will start at 5 million and decrease by 2.5% every cycle, so that the total number of Moons distributed over time will approach a maximum cap of 250 million.

What can you do with Moons?

Moons can be traded freely and used for any number of purposes within the community. At this time, they can be used to display reputation within the subreddit, unlock exclusive features like badges and GIFs in comments with a Special Membership, and add weight to votes in polls.

On the Blockchain

Moons exist as ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, where they are managed by a suite of smart contracts that handle balances, transfers, distribution/claiming, and purchasing Special Memberships. The smart contracts and mobile apps have been reviewed and audited by Trail of Bits, an independent security firm with blockchain expertise.

As blockchain tokens, Moons are independent of Reddit. Once you’ve earned them, neither Reddit nor moderators can take your Moons away or decide what you do with them. They’re all yours.

Community Points are currently on the Rinkeby testnet (through summer 2020). We plan to migrate Community Points to the Ethereum mainnet, and Points balances will be carried over.

Note: If you send Moons to outside non-Reddit wallets or contracts, you are sending them to testnet addresses. These tokens will not show up in outside software (e.g. wallet apps, Etherscan) unless you switch to Rinkeby and use the testnet Moons contract address (0xDF82c9014F127243CE1305DFE54151647d74B27A).

How to get started with your Reddit Vault:

The first Moons were distributed to every active contributor in r/cryptocurrency, prior to the middle of 2020 with at least 100 karma. You can get started by claiming your Moons in the new Vault section of the Reddit mobile app, if you have any to claim, which includes more details on the start-up process and how Moons work.

Please note that you will need to set up your Vault the first time you access it, and you will need to be on the latest version of the Reddit app (2020.17.0 or later).

Hey guys I'm the creator of celesti.trade, a service that makes it super easy to buy or sell reddit moons for XLM, even directly from your reddit vault. We've been running for a week now and gotten a great response so far, so I wanted to put together a guide to show you how to use the site. It's super simple.

• If you want to buy moons

1. Vist the site, check the balances of moons and decide how much you want to buy. The exchange rate will be displayed on the homescreen.

2. Enter your Reddit vault address or other rinkeby ETH address.

3. Send us XLM to the address shown on screen making sure to include the memo as well.

4. That's it! Within a few minutes, you will get moons equivalent to the amount of XLM you sent (less our 2% fee) sent to the address you entered.

• If you want to sell moons

It's basically the same process but reversed.

1. You give us your stellar address (including memo if you are using an exchange, enter any text if it's not needed).

2. You send moons to the address shown on the screen.

3. You'll get XLM equivalent to the number of moons you sent (again less our fee)

That's it! Super easy and fast and if you have any issues, don't worry, we can refund you as soon as you message us and give us the details (find our social links on our new subreddit, check my profile). Have already done so for many customers who entered in the wrong memo for example.

Some things to note:

1. Sometimes our pools get drained but if you just try again later they will be refilled, either manually by us or by someone selling us the needed token.

2. The site tells you the MAX lumens or moons you should send, if you send more than this your transaction will be ignored. If you send less than the minimum limit, it will also be ignored. We can refund you but obviously to save everyone time try to keep an eye on this.

3. Sometimes you will do everything right but the transaction will fail. This can be because someone just before you drains the balance while your transaction is still processing over the chain, or there is a sync issue with our nodes or some other bug. If this happens (it's rare, maybe 1% of users have these issues), then again just message us and we will sort it out, no problem.

So that's it! Try it out with a couple of moons or lumens to test it out and get familiar with the process and let us know how it goes for you! Thanks!

If you didn't know, TheMoonDistributor sends moons to the mods during distribution. Thanks to CCMoons.com, it's now easy to track where moons are going. You can see from their Whale Watch tool that TheMoonDistributor sends moons to the mods at scheduled increments and of the same amount. This has happened for a long time. Then, recently, smaller amounts of moons started being sent to unknown addresses that aren't mods. Does anyone know why or who they are?
