Bounty Campaign & Upfiring Information
PurposeUpfiring communities are sites, applications, and social networks where Upfiring links will be shared. Content creators can benefit from communities by sharing their links for other users to download, allowing them to earn UFR and increase the number of seeders on their file. The main goal of an Upfiring community should be to empower content creators and sharers, though with this campaign developers are encouraged to build anything they feel would help to expand the community or enhance the Upfiring application.
This bounty campaign gives developers a chance to contribute directly to the widespread adoption of Upfiring. In addition, all projects — especially those that do well in voting — will benefit from promotion and attention from the community, making it easy for solid projects to gain a user base.
_____________________________
What types of projects qualify for the Upfiring Bounty Campaign?Any development that aims to build or enhance the Upfiring community or Upfiring application. Example ideas are: a website or mobile app that allow content creators to share Upfiring links, a decentralized or anonymous chat group, a forum or message board, a decentralized exchange solely meant for buying/selling UFR, smart contract development, or any other type of media platform. Communities can also be established on relevant existing sites where we currently do not have a presence. If you have a question whether your idea or project qualifies, post in this thread or email
[email protected].
_____________________________
Project CompletionProjects do not need to be fully completed by the deadline or voting period. If the community feels the project is showing solid progress and wants to support its continued development, it will likely do well in voting.
_____________________________
Working with othersWorking with others is allowed and encouraged. If this is the case, please submit a UFR address for each member on the public voting submission form.

More InformationUpfiring and its team reserve the right to determine if a vote is considered valid. A vote may be considered invalid if it appears to be a duplicate or a product of vote manipulation. Bounty campaign rules, time periods, and voting requirements are subject to change at the team’s discretion. Upfiring strongly encourages participants to screen for copyright infringement on their communities. It is recommended that any project that includes Upfiring links offers some form of admin regulation of such infringement and provides a contact resource for content to be removed upon request. This is a community-driven bounty campaign - Upfiring is not responsible for the events or actions of others in regards to the community projects developed for this campaign.
Upfiring also reserves the right to change the rules, regulations, timeline, and rewards of the bounty campaign if necessary at any time without prior notice.
