I'd like to introduce a new idea to the Bitcoin_Beginners territory: (Friendly) Bitcoin-centered writing competitions.
Motivation
I'd like to see more content tailored to people who'd like to learn something about Bitcoin, whether beginner or advanced, and thought about the following:
We have more than enough capable writers on SN, most- if not all of us have a shared interest for Bitcoin, and most- if not all of us have topics to learn (more) about.
In regards to the learning-part: I can speak from experience that writing about the topic forces you to actually learn about it, for how else would you be able to forge a coherent and correct summary, explainer, write-up et cetera?!
In my mind, people would actually (try) to learn something, the territory and platform as a whole would benefit from more Bitcoin-specific posts, and people would have a(nother) weekly chance of receiving some extra Sats---A win-win-win.
Idea (Experimental)
I'd like to organize a weekly writing competition featuring a collectively chosen topic, facilitated by a poll that'll contain topics to pick from, as well as the option to comment a topic of your personal liking; these will be featured in the next poll (can already be commented on this post)
Poll's will be posted on Monday's, while the upcoming theme (poll-winner) will be posted on Friday's, for example:
-
13.05, Monday: Poll posted.
-
17.05, Friday: Theme posted. The winner of that week's theme will also be featured in the theme-post.
Winners and Reward(s) (Experimental)
I'd like to hear you guys opinion about the following:
-
How many possible winners should there be? One? Three? Five? Something else?
-
What would be a fitting reward?
-
What should be the winning-conditions?
I'd like the reward to be a "thank you", instead of something people simply participate in to try and farm Sats; something that motivates people to participate and deliver a quality piece.
I was thinking in the realm of a fixed amount of Sats (but how much?), plus the Sats earned from both the poll and theme / winner post, or in other words:
-
Two non-fixed amounts plus a fixed amount of Sats.
-
I am excluded from the competition.
Let me know if there's a shared interest in the above, as well as to how it should be given form.
