The contest results are in!
Dear contestants,
Thank you for all the great entries you submitted during the last few weeks. The Feathercoin community has a long road ahead and you have shown great determination already. Thanks must go to Justabitoftime as well for his continuous effort and contribution of the prize money!
[u]
We received nearly 150 entries.[/u] A great number, looking at the early chapter the community currently is in! After verification of the entries the final lists of tickets and participants are now listed in each topic. Unfortunately 4 topics did not have enough entries, so the prize money of these categories will be spend on another future project![b]What happens now?[/b]
Justabitoftime will hold 2 separate drawings:
- The drawing for the 1000 coins will occur on June 30 at 1:00pm (US Eastern)
- The 5 drawings for $500 total FTC will occur on July 14th at 1:00pm (US Eastern)
[b]Good luck to all contestants![/b]
If you still have questions, or there is a mistake in the ticket-count inform me, ChekaZ or J4c0b5L4tt3r through PM!

Nice!

[quote]Hi Tuck Fheman,
Great entry with the video. The decision to move your entry is totally up to you, but keep in mind that tickets are non-transferrable between categories. [b]Since the amount of entries in the video section is lower it may give you a higher chance.[/b]
[/quote]Sure wish I hadn’t been PM’d (cough) to move my entry, especially considering the reason I was given indicates the lower # of entries was better, yet that got me excluded. “Higher chance” = no chance now.
Had I stayed in the Art category, it would have had enough and everyone there would be entered. Just saying, that was a bit deceiving (to me, I’m sure it was accidental) especially consdering who it came from (the same person that later informed me I missed out because of a “[i]minimum[/i]” I knew nothing about and never saw in the rules). :P
Sorry guys who contributed to Art. I should have stayed in that category.

[/quote]I did my best on the rules. Since I was the one giving out the coin, I stayed completely out of the decisions concerning entries to be fair. The person that controlled the rules had 0 buy-in to my money, that was the entire point.
Let’s also keep in mind, unlike most coins, there was no pre-mine stash for this contest. I literally spent my own money to help push the coin for everyone. I own much less than people think and had to purchase it with money I could have spent on family.
[b]I’ll probably not offer this type of contest in the future. [/b] If I do, I’ll ask someone else to put up the money. This was a good opportunity to get us some exposure while hopefully giving everyone a chance to free stuff. Everyone that submitted ANYTHING has a chance to win tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone that entered, we’ll have our first 1000 coin contest drawing tomorrow as outlined in the rules.
** Update **
Asked the IRC and Facebook manager to come up with a contest. Starting off by donating another 800 FTC there (also giving away 1000 World, 1000 Phenix, and 500+ FTC in today’s wallet giveaway). For those that don’t win big on this contest, there’s plenty of other freebies around the forum. Enjoy your weekend and good luck to all.

It’s all good. Just trying to explain to the Art contributors what happened (why I moved and cost them a chance at entry).
I’m trying to win some more FTC because I gave it all (but the 75 I won recently) out on the blogs in giveaways to get followers & to get people to download the client; so I’m starting from scratch w/ftc again and I haven’t been able to mine much lately (no dedicated box). As soon as ltc crest I’ll have more ftc again, but not sure how long till that happens. In the meantime, I’ve missed the previous contest deadline, then had this happen in this one = I suck at contest. lel
I should have just left my entry where it was and all would have been fine.

[/quote]Reminder (to everyone):
If you’re hosting some type of giveaway, let the development team know. While we don’t have a stash, each of us will reach into our own pocket to help spread the word. Just send a quick proposal.

[size=8pt][quote]Hi,
Yes exactly, each category is it’s own contest, and each catergory is also worth $100. [b]There is a minimum of 4 entries, but you can move your entry before the deadline.[/b]
Regards,
[/quote]The messages I sent were ofcourse to help the contestants. I hope everything is clear now.
