About Quidlis
Quidlis is a way to gain appreciation for giving things away.
That's right. Give your stuff away for free and get stuff for free. Have something you don't want? Don't sell it, give it. The more you give, the more you raise your appreciation or merit. The higher your merit, the more merit is raised for someone giving you stuff you want.
Quidlis is an experiment in global generosity. The only restrictions are:
- You can only offer items/services that are real, legal, and legally yours.
- You cannot offer anything in exchange for any currency or in trade.
- You agree to be anonymously audited by other quidlis members to keep it honest.
How does it work?
When you give something away, the receiver rates your gift based on 3 factors
how does it meet my wants?
how good is it?
- how was the experience?
These all factor into your merit percentile. Percentiles are calculated based on
- how many items you have offered and posted as a want
- how many items you have given away
- the ratings of those items
- how many items have been deemed "nice"
- how much you communicate with other members
- flags set by other members on your postings (coming soon)
Each of these factors have differing values weighted toward giving over receiving.
Merit is not displayed as a unitary (numerical) value but rather where you are in relation to other members.
We reserve the right to continue to perfect these calculations and the calculation of how much your merit is raised based on the percentile of the receiver.
