PUBLIQ is a nonprofit foundation that places authors at the center of the publishing and digital media industry by offering them an efficient and reliable ecosystem in which to interact and thrive. Authors have access to a free, secure, and censorship-resistant platform where they can upload their writings, protect them adequately within the latest blockchain architecture, and distribute them safely. Intermediaries or traditional publishing houses, which used to dominate the author in his or her work, are removed from the chain of creation and distribution.
PUBLIQ’s instant rewarding process encourages and incentivizes authors to share their talents with the world. Rewards are assigned daily to authors depending on their PUBLIQ Score – a reputation-scoring system exclusively shaped from the readers’ views and feedback. This unique evaluation system allows authors to be fairly rewarded as well as celebrated for their good work.
Shortly PUBLIQ pays you for your great content. It pays you with PBQ tokens. The PBQ is a token that enables running a distribution mechanism that supports fair and democratized transactions. Think of PBQ like bitcoin. When you write a story here and if your story is successful, you will be rewarded with PBQ tokens which then you can exchange to something else, like already mentioned bitcoin, or euro, or ether. The best part is that you don't have to do complex things in order to achieve that. You just do what you love, you write your stories, you share them and you get rewards.
PUBLIQ
If you don't have account yet, this is the best time to create one. If you do have an account then you need to write stories, interesting articles in order to receive a PUBLIQ Score and PBQs. To find out how many PBQs you have click on 'profile' icon in right top corner
Next we need to send PBQs to exchange service in order to sell your PBQ tokens.
ATAIX
ATAIX is an asset and cryptocurrency exchange created in the European Union. It allows users to easily trade and store their cryptocurrency, tokens and fiat funds on a safe, convenient and fast platform. We gonna use ATAIX as it supports PBQ tokens.
step 1. Create account. If you don't have an account you can create one using this link . If you don't want to create an account, don't worry, at the end of article there is a way to exchange your PBQs without having ATAIX account. (but do not skip this part)
After registering and confirming your email address you can log in to your ATAIX account, complete the tutorial and click on "Wallet" link from top menu. You will be navigated to wallet page where you can see all supported crypto and fiat currencies in ATAIX. Find PUBLIQ (PBQ) from the list and click on that.
You will see your Deposit address and Message. These are very important as we should use these to transfer our PBQ tokens from PUBLIQ to ATAIX.
step 2. Go to PUBLIQ Wallet and log in with same credentials as with PUBLIQ. Once logged in, navigate to "Send" section and write the amount you want to transfer.
In the address field, put the Deposit address text provided by ATAIX. Do not type the address manually, use the copy button.
In the message field, put the Message text provided by ATAIX. Do not type the message manually, use the copy button.
If everything is correct, click on "Send" button. You will be asked to confirm the transaction.
Once confirmed it might take up to 10 minutes for your transferred PBQs to be available on ATAIX. Be patient and check your balance after few minutes.
step 3. Once your PBQs are available on ATAIX, navigate to Trade page from menu and if you haven't skipped the tutorial at first login, you will see where to change exchange pairs. Choose PBQ/BTC or PBQ/ETH or PBQ/EUR pair. At the center you will see the orderbook with green and red parts. Green part is for buy orders, meaning where people want to buy PBQ, and the red part is sell orders, where people want to sell PBQ
For example for pair PBQ/BTC there are several Sell orders and one Buy order. So now you can actually sell your PBQs either with filling directly from Buy orders, or if the price is not suitable for you, you can set your price and make sell order. If the price in one of Buy orders is good for you, just click on that order and you can see that calculated numbers are shown in your Buy/Sell dashboard. From there you can just adjust the amount you wish to sell, and click the "Sell" button
After that either you will get your BTC instantly if it matches with Buy order, or you will make a Sell order. From there you'll have to wait and regularly check if someone has filled your order (which means you have successfully sold some or full PBQs). Please check out ATAIX FAQ for more information about how to trade.
If trading is very complicated
Yes, trading is not so easy, especially if you're a writer and don't even want to know how to trade. Fortunately there is an option for you too. ATAIX offers One Click Exchange which doesn't require any account or authentication.
All you need is to go to One Click Exchange page, choose PBQ from the You Have dropdown and whatever other currency you want to exchange from the You Get dropdown.
After that you need to provide the amount and your wallet address for the currency that you've chosen from "You Get" dropdown.
ATAIX will provide you an address and message. As we did before use the address and message to send your PBQs. ATAIX will take care of trading and withdrawing your tokens to your provided address.
