Man, I also hope that this initiative will help attract more people to the contest! Wink

Let's hope it does icopress! I've updated the original post with Betnomi sponsorship

Once again, thank you both!

It would be great if this contest appeared in the "News: ..." section in the header of the forum. The pumpkin contest for Halloween appeared there and attracted many people. On the contrary, I found this contest by chance a week ago and it is true that it's visibility is not the best. Can we raise a request to theymos in that regard, or does he only do these things ex officio?

Of course, initiatives like this one from betnomi and icopress are also a big help Grin

Of course I wouldn't icopress and I thank you for even considering making this offer. As an individual you know that I don't gamble (for personal reasons) but I think that Betnomi offer will greatly add value to the contest and for sure it will entice even more users to share their creativity! If this offer still stands please let me know and I'll update the original post (and thank you once again).

I've never doubted about your wife baking skills (and the ones that you surely have as well icopress)! Looking forward from what may come out of it!

p.s. Would you mind if Betnomi also became a sponsor and provided the winner of the competition 1 custom cold wallet?

Truly, I'm not talented in the art of cooking. I think my expectations would be like the pies that are on the internet. hahaha..

However, this is my work. Pls scoff...

Anyway, this is the 2nd try after the 1st failed. I spent almost 2 hours to make the right dough, Cool

Another great and tasty contribution! Thank you rat03gopoh, I've updated the list of submissions! Those 2 hours were definitely worth !

Thank you so much for your contribution to the prize pool Daltonik! I've updated the thread accordingly. Do expect a PM from me whenever the contest ends with the final results.

Lol! I guess there is no way for knowing for sure if the wife made the pie or the participant

Now you know why I said. Grin

I like to play fair, even knowing that no one will be able to prove that he did it himself.

Like Gazeta correctly said, while your wife may be the one who bakes it I'm sure that you're helping her with the concept of designing or even washing the dishes after right? To my eyes that's a collaboration and thus it's still a valid participation from your side

Thank you for your submission Gazeta, the apple pie looks delicious! I like that you added cinnamon since I believe it blends perfectly with the apple filling!

I'm actually ready to invest 0.03 BTC in the pool, just notifications to the mail about updating topics come with a delay, so it's advisable to inform the DM when you need to make a donation, so as not to be in an awkward position.

0.03 BTC? Are you sure? Or you meant, perhaps, 0.003 BTC? I am asking because it is a very big amount... Nevertheless, such donation is certainly appreciated by all users involved and it will also attract more to participate

In any case, if you want to donate, simply stating it here is enough. When winners will be elected, RickDeckard may contact you via PM to let you know how much you should send and to which users.

Yes, thanks for the correction, I didn't check the numbers for something, I really meant 0.003 BTC, thanks again, I will correct my post.

Omg, it's good you stated that! For some reason I had a cake in my mind, although I knew that it's a pie baking contest. Okay, pie it will be

I see that the competition is already starting, because in order to publish a donation address for those who want to contribute their funds to create a pool of rewards, and this will be more open in my opinion.

Thank you for the feedback Daltonik. If I understood corretly, you're saying that I should publish a donation address for those willing to contribute to the prize pool. I've discussed also this issue on my previous thread[1] about the topic. Basically we could have three options:

Option 1 - I would publish a donation address under my control - I would sign it - and whoever wanted could donate funds to it. When it was time to distribute the funds, I would personally send them to the winners. However, with this option, it would mean that users would have to trust me as someone who would distribute the funds when the contest ended. Some users could rightly say that I don't have any kind of trust in the forum to deal with other people donations and that they wouldn't feel very at ease with that;
Option 2: Use a trusted escrow from the forum in order to deal with all donation related questions;
Option 3 (the one that was chosen): Whoever wants to donate just needs to post in the thread and I'll update the initial post with the user name and amount promised to the prize pool. When the contest ended, I would do the math and post a table with the distribution needed in order for the winners to receive their money.

At the end of the day it was just a matter of making sure that users were confident in the option chosen and considering that I don't have any trust established here, we ended up going for the third option as it seemed a balanced one.

I understood, thanks for the answer, I'm actually ready to invest ~~0.03 BTC~~ in the pool, just notifications to the mail about updating topics come with a delay, so it's advisable to inform the DM when you need to make a donation, so as not to be in an awkward position.

@Rick Deckard
Congratulations for the initiative! It's always good, to motivate the community. Wink

I can't promote in the signature... But I'll try to promote it any way I can.
You can always go through the Portuguese tab and make a post there, I know you can! It'll be cooler than doing it myself. Wink

However, if it's my wife doing the afternoon, is it also valid?
Clearly she's better than I am... and in the end I'm going to want to eat something really nice. Tongue

It's an egg pie where the main ingredients obviously are egg and milk, it took me around 2-3 hours to finish it.
