Kinden 0.14.1 — Conversation rewards

Kinden 0.14.1 rewards conversations that get people involved.

• Sending messages alone no longer earns sparks. Replies and reactions reward the original author.
• With the default engagement base of 2 sparks, a reply earns 4, a reaction earns 2, and a third distinct participant adds a 6-spark bonus.
• One reward per participant per message, up to five participants. The same pair can generate at most three rewards per direction per UTC day. Each participant can trigger a reward at most once every 30 seconds.
• Eligible messages must contain at least 12 letters/numbers with five distinct characters. Only one message per author per minute qualifies; repeated text within 24 hours, edits, GIF-only messages and self-engagement do not qualify. A caption can qualify. A qualifying reply can also earn its own rewards from others.
• Rewards apply to new messages recorded after this update and engagement within seven days of posting. Removed content, blocked users and inactive accounts cannot generate rewards. Existing balances and claimed quests are preserved.
• The conversation quest now counts distinct messages receiving rewarded engagement. All rewards still respect the platform daily cap. The admin engagement base setting controls the reward scale.

Available on web, Windows and Android. These limits reduce farming; they do not attempt to judge the subjective quality of every conversation.
