Here are some questions for the core team (@nader @mossified @ashdigital) regarding the new FOCUS app:

1) From what we’ve been able to tell, Focus.xyz will rank posts in a similar fashion to how Reddit ranks posts. They will be ranked based on up and down votes, but it will take the voters’ wallet balance into account, with an upper cap set for individual wallet balances. My question is, what will the upper cap be set at? If it’s set at, let’s say $1000, does that mean it’s not more beneficial to own greater than $1000 in Focus tokens when it comes to having additional clout/power on the platform? Also, will a downvote count the same as an upvote? Are there any other algorithms involved in ranking these posts on one's timeline or Focus homepage?

2) Will there be verification of users on FOCUS? How will it work? I know a lot has been made about “associations” in the past. Will that play a role? How exactly does one get verified?

3) Will Diamonds and/or likes still be a thing on Focus? If so, how?

4) Will referral links allow for direct linking to specific pages on Focus? For example can I use my referral link to share a post that someone makes, or an article I write, or will it just be a general referral link to the Focus signup/homepage? I think it would be great if we could add our referral links to any URL on Focus, but if a referral link is added, the user viewing the link should get a pop-over message asking them to signup.

5) Do our social graphs completely move over to Focus? I assume they do. By this, I mean our followers/following/old posts, etc.
