 US persons are not eligible for $JOY 🇺🇸
​
Overview
Introduction
There are two kinds of rewards associated with testnet participation.
1.The first is $tJOY, described here $tJOY , which is the native token of our testnets. Although it was possible to exchange this for USD this is no longer possible. Although JSG may still choose to send users BCH directly as a reward for participation or running infrastructure.
2.The second is $JOY, described here $JOY, which is the native token of our coming mainnet. This tokens are distributed as part of our Founding Member Program (FMP), described here Founding Member Program, which is our program to reward high value community member with our mainnet token.
Council Period Cadence
The cadence of the Joystream testnet revolves around council periods, read more about council periods here Council Period Scoring. 
There is always a chance that an election cycle will not end in electing a Council. This can happen in any of three stages:
If, during the Announcing stage,  there are less than CouncilSize+MinNumberOfExtraCandidates candidates, the cycle will end and there will be a new Announcing stage instead of Voting.
If, during the Voting stage, there are less than CouncilSize votes made, the cycle will end and there will be a new Announcing stage instead of Revealing.
If, during the Revealing stage, less then CouncilSize candidates receive (revealed) votes, the cycle will end and there will be a new Announcing stage instead of a new Council. 
Currently, the CouncilSize is 5, and the MinNumberOfExtraCandidates is 1. The election stages are all 14400 blocks ~24 hours.
Council Period Parameters
Each council period a set of key parameters are updated, and these are critical for determining how much each activity will be rewarded, and under what terms.

Bounties
Each bounty has an associated $tJOY budget, which is the maximum amount one may earn by completing is successfully. One may also end up earning less if the delivery is deemed partially complete in terms of scope or quality. There is also a $JOY reward associated with completing bounties, specifically, it is a share of the JOY_BUDGET for the council period in which the bounty was funded (not the period where delivery was made!) which is equal to the share the $tJOY amount awarded makes up of the tJOY_BUDGET for the period the bounty started.
Only bounties created by the Human Resources working group will count towards the JOY_BUDGET. More information on this process can be found in the Bounty Management section of the Human Resources Score.
Leads
They earn a $tJOY reward linearly over time at a rate decided by the council. Leads for different groups can, and likely will, have distinct reward rates, as seen in this dashboard.
Leads earn $JOY allocations in the same way as for bounty contributions: a share of the JOY_BUDGET equal to what share the earned $tJOY makes up of the tJOY_BUDGET.
Workers
They earn a $tJOY reward linearly over time at a rate decided by the council. Leads for different groups can, and likely will, have distinct reward rates, as seen in this dashboard.
Leads earn $JOY allocations in the same way as for bounty contributions: a share of the JOY_BUDGET equal to what share the earned $tJOY makes up of the tJOY_BUDGET.
Validators
Validators earn $JOY allocations in the same way as for bounty contributions: a share of the JOY_BUDGET equal to what share the earned $tJOY makes up of the tJOY_BUDGET.
Note that unless you use either your membershipRoot or membershipController key as your validator stash or controller key, we will not be able to link the two, and your earnings here will not be registered! If your keys are linked to two different memberships, neither will be eligible for $JOY rewards.
Funding Requests
By default, the recipient of funding request will earn $JOY allocations in the same way as for bounty contributions: a share of the JOY_BUDGET equal to what share the earned $tJOY makes up of the tJOY_BUDGET. Note that, like with Validators, unless the recipient account is the membershipRoot or membershipController , we will not able to the recipient, and no $JOY will be allocated.
This can also be utilized if the council wishes to re-imburse someone, or for other reason pay someone $tJOY, but not $JOY.
Council Member
All council members earn the same quantity of $tJOY per period, let TOTAL_COUNCIL_tJOY_REWARD denote the total $tJOY payout earned by the entire council. This value is controlled by Jsgenesis, and can change over time.
Council Members earn $JOY a bit differently, specifically, the total $JOY amount shared equally among all members are reduced by what is called the network peformance score, squared, as shown below:
TOTAL_COUNCIL_JOY_REWARD = JOY_BUDGET * (TOTAL_COUNCIL_tJOY_REWARD/tJOY_BUDGET) * NETWORK_PERFORMANCE_SCORE^2
where NETWORK_PERFORMANCE_SCORE, and is in the interval [0, 1]. This score, computed by Jsgenesis using public evaluation metrics, attempts to capture how well the network performed. The evaluation metrics will change from one council period to the next.
