Happy Bitcoin Pie Day

I am also in, will submit something by the end of this week. During covid, in the middle of the lockdown, I started baking pies, cakes and bread every sunday just to keep busy but I also started enjoying it. Nothing more fun to also enjoy your "creation" with friends and family. When everything opened up again, I stopped doing this, but this contest could be nice restarting point again.

Cheer up, the true reward is the pie itself and the fun you had while making it.

Also, if you actually made it, you could've just posted the photos anyway, maybe someone would reward you with some merit points for the effort. Sounds better than complaining.

I baked the pie before fully reading the rules about merit (only 29 merit points away from hitting the 30 minimum to qualify!), so I understand that I'm not eligible, but still had to post since I spent hours on this (despite what it looks like)

I used fondant letter cutters to cut out the letters of BITCOIN in place of the top pie crust, and I put my username in there to prove it's mine (Nioctib is Bitcoin backwards). I gotta say, I think it looked better in my head vs. how it turned out. Still the best apple pie I've ever cooked... of course it's also the only apple pie I've ever cooked  

Because (at least in french) a pie is a cake but a cake is not always a pie, some pictures to help (in good english maybe : what does a pie look like ?):

I am sorry to say this @Bushdark, but sadly your submission can't be accepted because your baking, while looking good, isn't a pie. Considering the interpretation that some members are having as to what a pie is (in some languages pie and cake are the same word), I've updated the OP with the definition of a pie, per Merriam-Webster:
To accept your participation would mean that the system would be unfair to other suitable submissions that took the time to make a pie and it wouldn't make the system equal to all. Don't be discouraged though as there is still enough time for you to make another submission, if you do find the time for it .

My friend, thank you so much for this translation! I've updated OP with your thread, sorry it took me so long.

First of all congratulations on assembly such an OP team as far as translators go! And secondly, thank you so much for considering this contest the first project within your group! For sure language is one of barriers in any forum, and having a dedicated group of members trying to close the gap between all the communities that are present within this forum is an exchanging feat and a very noble one. Do keep up the great work!

Oh, that's a bummer but totally understandable. If this contest happens next year, do let your wife already know in advance that she will receive a call to arms as a redemption for not being able to take part this year in the competition

Thank you for your submission, unfortunately it doesn't comply with two requirements (while it does look tasty):

• Requirement #1 - While you have enough activity, you lack the required merit amount - which is 30 - in order to participate in the event;
• Requirement #2 - Sadly the submission can't be classified as a pie. Please refer to OP to see the definition of what a pie is.

I am sorry (again) for saying this, but in order for the contest to be fair for everyone, your submission can't be accepted because that is not a pie but a cake. Fellow Becassine also did that mistake[1] but she turned things up around and also made a pie and ended with two incredible looking deserts. Don't give up, you still got time to make your submission!

A wonderful contest. 

This pie is homemade by me and my cousin. To make this pie we need sugar, flour, oil, chocolate flavor, baking powder, milk powder, eggs and some other essentials. We had a lot of fun making this pie. And everyone celebrated with this pie after making it.

Here are the photos   The links were not working

Here is my Submission.
Recipe:
Flour ,Baking, Water
Soabean oil
Sugar/Molasses
Egg

It says baking "pie", not bread man !  

She says I'm too late Usually, she spend several days when she bakes a cake, and doesn't have that much time to spare before the deadline.
I did have an idea though: it should look like this: BTC, but big enough for 12 people

Bitcoin cake process after a lot of trouble🥧🤟

Hey RickDeckard, I proudly announce that this is the first topic being translated pro bono in our respective local boards by our brand new Alliance Of Bitcointalk Translators [AOBT].


GazetaBitcoin will be happy if you add a link to the Romanian translation he just made for you

I hope that together we will help to give more visibility to the contest.

Well, the guy hadn't posted since 2018 so maybe it'll be more like another 5 years (edit: and has an interesting post history ^^)

To be fair, you can come back next year because it looks like this contest will be made into an annual contest by OP @RickDeckard

WTF I made a pie and wanted to participate but I found that I have 0 merit and 12 activity !!!! (((( These limits are strange and its not fair

Nice try buddy, this is why merit requirement is needed here to reduce scammer participating in this contest.

Better to read the rules first, you're not allowed to participate this contest due to minimum merit requirement. Well it's up to everyone else to create which pie, it can be egg pie, apple pie, blueberry pie, meat pie etc. Meat pie is different with pizza, you can google it yourself.

If you want to celebrate about Laszlo Pizza day, that's a different contest, it would be happen in the next 2 months.


Anyway the contest will end in the next 7 days, I hope people who want to join this contest aware with the deadline.

I'm baking an apple pie for this, but anyone out there wants to be creative and isn't so much a pastry baker, I'd think you could bend the rules a little and do a clever Pizza Pie in reference to Laszlo's famous 10,000BTC pizza  Might not be a winner but I'd give that an honorable mention for creativity. And any Australians out there, let me see a meat pie!
