Some of you might have already read about the transition from the "Weekly Top Posts" towards the "Bitcoin-Centric Writing Contest" in @siggy47's weekly newsletter, and this post will dive into the official primer / rules announcement for the contest!
-
Each Monday, a [pinned] post will be created under which participants can comment with their submissions for the respective week. (27.05)
-
Each Friday, a post will be created detailing the winner of the respective week's reward. (31.05)
-
Topics: Specific topics are scrapped: everyone's free to submit a summary, write-up, article et cetera covering a Bitcoin-related [technical] topic of his- or her's choice.
-
Winning conditions: A winner will be picked through the ⚡-rank, as well as Siggy and I's personal assessment--- Only the ⚡-rank can be cheated.
-
The [weekly] 🏆 will be a reward of [initially] 5000 sats, paid-out each Friday; 50% by siggi, 50% by me.
-
The initial reward can be increased by ⚡'ing the Monday- and Friday-posts; the total zaps from the Monday (-10% fees) are added unto the 5000 sats at the moment of pay-out, while 100% of the zaps from the Friday are forwarded to the winner.
And last but not least: V4V.
The competition isn't ment as a handout, but as a tool to endorse the publication of quality learning material.
Therefore, if all of a week's submissions are either incomplete, shallow, faulty, or a mix of the former, no reward will be paid out, resulting in the respective week's reward to be added to the following week.
The submissions can be improved based on the feedback received, after which the respective work can be submitted again.
This might come off as harsh, but both siggy and I don't intend the contest to be a sort of "see what sticks" kinda event.
Take your time, do your research, and include the necessary details into your submission; it's about quality, not quantity. 🧡
