The
Imkhonet Reader's Award has started , in which anyone can take part and vote for their favorite writers and journalists with money.
Why money? Because many of us probably downloaded (maybe distributed) content online before. And now, given the opportunity to directly thank the creators, the authors of this wonderful content!
In order to try to vote with money, get involved in the process Imkhonet allocates each participant 50 rubles. This is the starting money that can be distributed among the nominees. And this is not virtual money, but real money that is withdrawn from Imhonet’s account to user accounts.

If you have not found your favorite author you want to thank, you can add your own. But already accruing and distributing their own funds. What is most interesting, users have added a little more than 25,000 rubles (23%) of their own funds to their authors.
All the money goes to the bonus fund of each particular author. Thus, Imhonet acts as a platform where a writer or a journalist directly receives funds from his fans :).
What are the goals of the Reader's Award? (taken directly from the award site)
- To allow everyone in the post-pay mode to thank the authors for the pleasure received from their works.
- To promote the spread of post-factum payments that can compensate for the loss of piracy for favorite authors.
- From your own experience, make sure how the post-factum thank-you payments mechanism works.
What will happen to the money that users received, but realized that they did not want to thank and encourage anyone? The remaining funds will be transferred to their mobile phone after the debriefing.

The award will have a continuation, in the form of a post-factum payment program. In short, users will be given the opportunity to FIRST to RECEIVE content, and AFTER PAY, if they like the content (and not like now: money in the morning, chairs in the evening). Of course, there are risks, but there are already ideas and opportunities to create a toolkit that will regulate all user behavior in the system.
Many resources are now dragged into the courts and fines due to the fact that users
Spread and use pirated content. “Reader's Award” is an attempt to introduce into
rate after-tax payments. In this case, the problem would be solved by itself.
